Default Glare works

Thanks to who ever posted about this stuff a few weeks ago. I can't believe the difference it made. got the micro , spyder and polish products. Took along time too do all three but my 04 paint was starting to need something different. I have always used ICE brands and like them very well but Glare blows them away. Set me back a 100.00 but i have several 100.00 on the shelf that I'll never use. Very cool stuff for black.

I think I'm the guy your talking about. However, I've added another step that makes it look even better: 3M Imperial Hand Glaze 05990. I got the tip from somebody on this forum. I had used it years ago on my Corvettes but, in my old age, had completely forgetten about it. So I went to a body shop supply and got a quart of it. The thing you need to remember is that it doesn't come off real easy so don't do too big of an area at a time. Then apply the Glare and it looks like the paint should be dripping, NO $hit!!!

So get the Glare or the hand glaze or both. Wife swears all you have to do is look at black and it gets a spot, just from looking.

Broken Arrow. Half mile from the Tulsa/BA dividing line. BTW, I was stationed at Guthrie AFS Charleston in 1965. Don't know if it's still there though.

Does this look familiar?
