Misconceptions
The Beading Water Myth
Regular wax and virtually all other paint protection products on the market produce large water beads (i.e. droplets) on the surface of the paint. Glare Polish produces tiny water beads instead. Droplets can only form on surfaces with strong adhesion to water. (i.e. the water sticks to the surface). Tiny water beads means the water cannot stick to the car as readily. Droplets contain much more water than tiny beads. This is important for two reasons:
Rainwater is acidic. While the acid in rainwater does not affect GLAREŽ Polish, it does affect virtually every other paint protection system. The better the water sticks to the car, the more damage to the paint.
Rainwater contains dust and other impurities. Larger droplets means there is more dirt left on the car as the water dries off. With GLAREŽ Polish, your car will usually be cleaner after a heavy rainfall. Waxed cars usually get very dirty in the rain.
Cannot be applied after Sale
The aftermarket lady is trained to tell customers that paint protection cannot be applied after the vehicle leaves the dealership. Somehow, it’s ”too late”. This is not true regardless of which paint protection system you choose. The advantage of doing the paint protection to a new vehicle, is that you only have to polish it and you are doing it before any damage has happened to your paint. With a used vehicle you most often will need to repair scratches to your clear coat and reverse some oxidation before you polish it.
“Our System Removes Scratches”
There is only one-way to remove scratches in the paint: Repaint the vehicle. There are a couple of things to note, though:
Scratches in the clear coat can be filled and completely repaired with GLAREŽ Spider. It is the ideal filler as it is clear as glass - unlike other paint protection systems.
For in-paint scratches: When you apply GLAREŽ Polish, the paint surrounding the scratch becomes very shiny. This tends to take the eye off the scratch, even though it is still there. Someone who does not know the scratch is there may be “blinded by the shine” and not see the scratch. This is very common with GLAREŽ Polish.
Car Make X does not need Paint Protection
Not true. All currently used UV absorbers and HALS (hindered amine light stabilisers) volatilise and are lost from the coating over time and migrate into the base coat or even into the substrate. This leaves the paint unprotected against fading and oxidation. Automotive paint manufacturers have been working on this problem for decades and have found no economical solution to date.
Light coloured cars do not need Paint Protection
Acid and fall out marks are less noticeable on light cars. You will notice after only about 3-4 years that the paint becomes much duller over time. GLAREŽ Polish does not just protect the paint against acid attacks. It also makes your car easier to clean, and less prone to becoming dirty in the first place. Also, if your car has “orange peel”, GLAREŽ Polish will repair it. Orange peel is highly noticeable regardless of colour as it causes the paint to look dull.
