What is liquid glass ?

So you’re saying it was the Graphene of the 1980’s?








Sorry. I need some humor tonight. Even if it’s self-induced.

I have Liquid Glass that I purchased in 2016. The can states that it will last a lifetime if the cap is sealed properly. It’s one of those sealants that claim you can layer it over and over, 4 hours apart I think, and let it bake in the sun inbetween coats. I recall doing 4 coats in a day and not seeing much difference after 1 or 2 so I stopped there and only used occasionally after. Once I tried some other newer products in the coming months I never went back. It could be used on glass as well.

It’s not bad, but probably would be considered below average compared to today’s popular sealants in looks/longevity/beading. I recalling it applied and removed pretty easily.

It looks like maybe some old stock may still be available at Advance Auto Parts. Many years ago, I was a member of a Corvette club, and that was pretty much all they used.

I first heard of Liquid Glass in 1984 when many of the car sealants and waxes were using a "space age polymer formula". A guy at work let me try some of it and it lasted a lot longer than Rain Dance. He told me to apply the product in the shade and then let it bake in the sun. I don't know if that was necessary but it did last a good 5 months.

I had an email exchange about 10 years ago in 2011 with the inventor of Rejex and nu-finish (essentially the same stuff)… He told me that liquid glass was a forerunner polymer of his product.
