Since you are going to buy it...
then, in my experience:
It's always best to follow the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Here's Liquid Glass':

Liquid Glass Auto Polish/Finish
Application Instructions

-Before using, shake can well!

-The surface must be clean and dry.

-All wax residue on vehicles should be removed.
We recommend the use of Liquid Glass Pre-Cleaner.
Our Pre-Cleaner will ensure optimum results by
prepping/cleaning dull, stained, oxidized, or
previously waxed surfaces, thus enabling the
Liquid Glass Polish/Finish to adhere better
to the applied surface.

-Apply Liquid Glass sparingly, but evenly,
using a coarse cotton cloth in a straight
back and forth movement.
-Apply one section at a time.

-The ideal applied surface temperature should
be between 50 and 80 degrees.
-After a haze appears on the surface, wipe off
with a clean, dry cloth.
(Terry cloth or Turkish towel may be used.)

-For best results, allow at least four hours
between coats to permit "curing."
-When finished, "baking" vehicle in the sun will
bond Liquid Glass Polish/Finish to the surface.

-The greater the number of coats, the greater
the protection afforded.

-Occasionally on dark colored vehicles, streaking
may occur. Temperature, previously used wax
products, and buffing cloths are all things that
can affect streaking.
-Streaks can be eliminated by rebuffing the
surface with a damp cloth.

-Liquid Glass Polish/Finish can be applied to any
nonporous surface including aluminum, stainless
steel, brass, glass, ceramic tile, etc.

-There are thousands of uses for business
or in the home. Caution should be used,
however, since a long-lasting slippery finish
can be dangerous in places (for example,
bath tub or shower floor).

-Do not use on porous surfaces such as fabrics,
upholstery, leather, vinyl, etc.

I'd be very particular in my selection of "coarse cotton cloth"...

[DBAILEY]

It's been a really long time since I've used Liquid Glass. I remember it being one of the strongest smelling detailing products that I have ever used.

[Eldorado2k]

Those directions sound straight from the 1960's or something. Turkish cloth eh? Let me see where my grandpa stashed them. Lol.

Waiting on derisive comments about
"baking" vehicle in the sun...

Save you money and move into the 21st Century of car detailing. I used Liquid Glass back in the 80's. There are so many other sealants on the market that are so much easier to use and have fantastic durability.

Yes, if yo uleave it on too long, or put it on too thick and need a chisel to get it off.
