Great car polish product

[StarPD]

As some of you may recall, I had the '05 Q45 which I purchased in January 2007 detailed by "European Detail Specialists" in Phoenix. When I got it, it had a lot of those fine scratches from the car washes the PO used. The detailer got most of them out, but not all, as some were just too deep into the clear coat. Now, it looks much better than when I bought it, and has stayed that way. I elected to pay extra to have it finished with a product called "Glare" instead of Carnauba wax. I was a little skeptical at the time, but Rick (Rich?) at the detail place assured me that it would last at least 2 years, and is far better than wax. So I took a chance.

I'm glad I did. I don't usually believe in extreme claims, but so far at least, in this case, it proved to be true. The detail was done last June, and so far, the "Glare" finish is still working great. I have driven in the rain, and when I got home, there was practically none of that accumulated dirt from driving in puddles and getting sprayed by other cars. Except for a small amount of dirt on the rocker panels, the car was clean the next day. Apparently, the rain kept rinsing the dirt off the car as I drove. I couldn't believe it.

A few days ago, it rained heavily around my house. I thought I was okay because I didn't take the car out, but when I opened the garage door to let my wife bring her car into the garage, apparently, the rusty and dirty water from the garage door dripped all over the hood of my car. I didn't notice it until the next day, when it had dried, leaving large rusty spots all over my hood, front fenders, and bumper. I freaked out, figuring the rust had stained my beautiful pearl white paint. I dusted the car with my "California Duster" (purchased from European Detail Specialists), then wiped down the hood with a wet terrycloth towel and dried it with microfiber cloths. I was amazed! The rust spots came right off, and there's no trace of them anywhere. What a relief!

I don't usually tout products, except maybe for Infinitis, but this stuff is phenomenal. Since the detailer applied it, I don't know how much effort goes into putting it on, but it sure works. It may require a buffer. I heartily recommend it for anyone who wants their Q45 to look like new and stay that way for a long time without re-doing it periodically.

Yes, lots of claims, like every other car finish, but in this case, the claims are true. I swear by it. Don't ask me which of the products listed they used, but I suspect it's the regular "Glare" polish. It works.

FWIW, the "California Duster" works too. It removes accumulated dust from the car without leaving scratches. I dust my car with it about once a week, and can go for a month without washing the car, and it always looks clean and freshly washed.

Between "Glare" and the "California Duster", I don't have to spend hours keeping my Q45 looking like new, and only have to wash it once a month.I sure like that!

Anyone living in the Phoenix area, I can also heartily recommend "European Detail Specialists". I got their name from another member here whose boss paid to have his engine compartment detailed by them, and went there, after finding out they do the cars for the Barrett-Jackson auction. They are expensive, but worth every penny. Cost me around $375 for a complete detail in and out, buff the overspray from when I had a new front bumper cover put on and painted at the the dealer as well as the car wash scratches, and apply the "Glare" finish. Best money I ever spent. And no, I have no connection whatsoever with either the detailer, "Glare", or "California Duster" except as a customer, and a happy and satisfied one at that.
