Thinking about going with Liquid Glass for my black Fatboy. It seems pretty spendy. When spending that kind of money,is one wasting their money for something cheaper that does just as good of a job, or will I be overwelmed by the results. Thanks Ken

There was a independent test done with about 100 waxes. Liquid glass was somewhere at the bottom, which surprised me also. Number two was Zaino. I bought the starter kit from Zaino and figured I use it on my wifes black 14yr old mazda, we were going to sell the car anyhow so couldnt hurt it. When I was all finished the car did pop, wife was even surprised. I use it since I bought the bike in 04 and very happy with the results.

Zaino has lots of independant distributors around the country. If you email Sal Zaino at info@zainobros.com they can probably tell you about one in your area. Distributors sometimes offer samples.

So you know, this stuff is a numbered system. While you don't need everything they sell (like the wash), you should strip your old wax off by washing with Dawn, then you should clay then Zaino the vehicle. (for example you put the first item on then the second without removing the first).

Read the steps for application at zainostore.com.

Not difficult and it lasts a long time. (its not a wax, I think its some sort of polymer)

You should clay your bike to remove contaminants.The method of using DAWN was born out of the theory that it will strip old wax off your paint..kinda true but then so will polish. If Dawn does its job as advertised..stripping oil and grease... then by its action you are drying out seals and gaskets. ie..Dawn bad, car wash good.

I have used liquid glass for years and it is one of if not the best wax that has ever been made that goes twice on black. It is a kick ass wax and pep boys stocks it along with the pre-wax that you should use before applying it.

It is definitely a buy. Zaino / others not a comparison in my book.

Dawn does not stay on a vehicle long enough to dry out the seals etc but it will take off old waxes, etc. Next step would be to clay, rewash with whatever, then Zaino.

If your car wash strips off the old waxes then yes, that would be a solution. The key is not to Zaino with wax on your car.

I came to know Zaino from having a black vette and found most vette and exotic car owners use the product with great success. Keeps bikes just as clean although Zaino recommends cleaning chrome with other products such as Mothers (to clean and polish). Then for a deeper shine seal with Zaino Z2 or Z5.

I use a product called "Auto Magic." Proprietary formulation only available to dealers. Don't know if it can be bought by the public. This stuff is incredible. Friend of mine got me a gallon from the supplier. Wipes on, dries quickly to a white haze and removal is fast and effortless. Rags slide right off of the freshly waxed surface, so slick it's unbelieveable, if not rediculous. No swirls, just bling-bling-bling shine.

Never heard of the stuff until you posted but they have a website where it can be purchased. http://www.automagic.biz/
