Modern Marvels TV Show..Simonize GlassCoat

[Bacon]

Last night I watched the Modern Marvels TV show about WATERPROOFING. The last segment was on Auto Waxing and WaterProofing and paint protection.

They highlighted a product from Simonize as being state-of-the-art science for paint protection. It’s called Simonize GlassCoat and it comes with a guarantee of 7 years of protection. The did a 50/50 test on the hood of a car; they ran the car through 100 industrial car washes; the Simonize side still looked great with beading and shine.

Anyone else hear of this stuff or have experience with it?

thanks!

I watched that too and was going to post the same question.
Looks like the stuff has been around since 2007, but I didn't catch when that MM show originally aired..

Here is a link to the video.

Or go with Opti-Coat for permanent protection

Back in the day 'Simonizing' used intermittently with waxing.

I usually Simonized my Father's car...Right after I'd picked up his dress suits and shirts after they were Sanforized at the Dry Cleaners.

"Simonize Glass Coat"...It is a true Phoenix arising from the ashes...A modern-day miracle!?!?

I did a google diddiligence...it looks the the GlassCoat is ONLY a dealer applied option...oh well, i was hoping for more AG insight and experience with this stuff.
But it still comes with a 7 year guarentee!

These type products break the paradigm for waxes. IME waxes are to bead. The finish can shine and reflect in the sun, but in the rain I expect beading. Am I wrong or is it just my preference for a wax . Think I'll start a thread to get opinions.

Beading is nice. But I only see it when I rinse off my car or where it rains(rarely).

So shine is more important for me.

10-04. Been wondering since I have been using wax for over 30+ years, but now debating whether to go just with sealant. The biggest difference for me would be the beading.

Since I use ONR the slickness would not be a factor.
