Wet Paint Glaze?

In another forum I'm on, there is a thread about this stuff and people swear by it. They've posted pics after using it, and I gotta say I'm pretty impressed with a product that is a wipe on-wipe off application. I'm usually skeptical of them.

So has anyone else heard of it or tried it? The only thing about it that kicks in my BS meter is that in the Q&A section, it claims to remove swirls.

I just toured the Web site. It looks pretty good and you can also apply it using a variable speed polisher and a MF bonnet. I'm curious if anyone has tried as well.

Hey Joe, it's got kerosene. Possibly in the same category as 5 Star Shine, FW1 Racing Formula and other products similar in nature.

Wow looks awesome...

Is it detrimental to the car to not wash (particles and dirt on paint already) and then rub them around with a terrycloth towel with a small amount of lubrication? Wouldn't that produce a lot of swirls, especially on a black car?

How do you rate those other products? 5 Star's webpage reads like an infomercial. The guy on the other board who swears by this stuff says that its a very low concentration of kerosene, and has been using it for years with no ill effects.

And I cant deny some of these pics from members that used it for the first time:

See, thats another red flag. But the proof is pretty apparent looking at the pics above.

I couldn't tell you what a low concentration would be, but according to the MSDS it's 5-10% by weight. It's been several years since I've tried an all in one product and don't want to be judgmental. I'm so used to the 3 step detailing routine. I've always said if you find a product that provides the result you want, keep using it. Can't deny the gloss and reflectivity of the photos. You're absolutely right on about the infomercial content on the 5 Star site. lol . . .

Someone try it out and let the rest of us know how well it works ... Excel Detail also sells several brands of no-rinse wash (Freedom Original Waterless Wash and Optimum No-Rinse Wash and Shine). Both of these are spray-on and wipe-off products. I don't know if they can produce the shine that it looks like Wet Paint Glaze can.

I'm going to try it, but I can tell you now I'm not going to apply it to a dirty car. I really woulndt use this product for that purpose.

I will. Though I'm not sure when because I put a coat of UPP on my car a few months ago and its still holding up pretty well. I'll have to find another car to experiment on. My Aunt wants me to do my Uncle's white BMW, though I think its going to need more work then a wipe on/wipe off product. What I might do is Wash/Clay/Polish and then just apply the Wet Paint. I could always clean it off with AIO if I dont like it. I've found light cars work better with Acrylics anyway.
