    "Glare" paint protectant

    I've hired a local detailing guy (highly recommended by several people) who is suggesting that I look at "Glare" (www.glare.com) as a final paint protectant. I did a search here and didn't find anything.

    Does anyone have experience with Glare?

    Yes have had personal experience with Glare and whilst a good product it is too much hype and not the extraordinary result promised.

    You will get a better gloss and protection from a quality sealant such as Klasse followed by 2-3 layers of P21S wax

    And Rejex, in my opinion, for a lot less work for an amazing, well-protected shine.

    I don’t like to advertise any company product. In my opinion you should know your product how to use it, and please don’t think if you cut corners you well get the same result and spraying sand on the car come on, I was trying to click on terms and condition it didn’t go I wonder why again this is my opinion.
