    • Acid rain retardant
    • Stone chip resistant after 25 coatings
    • Extremely durable and mirror shiny
    • Super slippery
    • Reduces drag and increases top end speed on racing cars, planes and boats

    Sounds like a load of poo poo to me.

    I can attest to the reduction of drag. Here are some before and after pics, albeit taken from different angles, but I think it shows the amazing transformation.

      Many sealants do resist/reduce the effects of acid rain.

      This is an acrylic sealant that hardens like a shell so who is to say after several layers it wont have some "resistance" to rock chips like how opti-coat is a coating.
    • Extremely durable and mirror shiny

      Many sealants are durable and "shiny."
    • Super slippery

      Most if not all sealants are extremely slick.

      Maybe it does reduces drag. A slick finish could possibly reduce air friction against the surface like when you clay and wax a car you can put a bottle on the hood afterwards and it will slide off.

    Sounds like a load of poo poo to me.
    Sounds like every other sealant can claim those effects too.

    Iono. I bit over priced maybe but you cant exactly say until you try it. To me the claims dont sound that outlandish.

    tcollins33- LOL, nice.

    No comment on the specific product, but I love Physics and thinking about this kind of thing. It's funny cause the show Mythbusters did an episode testing whether a clean or dirty car was more aerodynamic. It ended up that covering the car in an inch or two of soft pottery clay and cutting out divots like that of a golf ball was more fuel efficient because it reduced drag, despite the added weight. At higher speeds air resistance becomes a much greater force, increase your speed by 2x and the force of air resistance increases by 4x (because you move past twice the air in half the time). Air moving past a flat surface, like the hood of a car, produces very little drag regardless. It's the shape of the object and the turbulence created in it's wake, not the brand of wax on the door panel that will make a significant improvement.



    Not that I don't love Wax's and Sealants, I'd like to see a full review on the stuff. Someone?

    Re: Liquid Glass Legend

    If someone wants to send me a bottle of it, I'll write a review. I dont have the proper equipment to test coefficient of drag or even top speed differences aside from looking at my speedometer. But, hey, I am always up for a free bottle of expensive sealant.
