here is a question I would love if someone could answer. In my web research on the "what is the best wax" question here is one product that has popped up as very highly rated several times:
Liquid Glass LG-100
here it is on Amazon - please check it out
Now, what I want to know is why that link says it is not available for sale in the State of California?
as a side note it also seems to have been discontinued - :O
I believe it's against the law to sell Liquid Glass in the state of California because it contains aliphatic hydrocarbons. It's not illegal to own it there.
I used it a very long time ago and it did produce a nice finish, the paint should be thoroughly prepped before applying so you don't trap dirt particles in the application process.

As already mentioned, there are more products than you can shake a stick at on the market. I was a member of a large corvette forum for many years and there was always a debate/fight going on about what's the "best" product on the market. "Best" is a very open term and basically it boils down to what works best for you.
I've used more than my fair share of products over the years on many different vehicles and honestly, a few things I've learned, I use different products on different vehicles and even different products on the same vehicle. When I would take my bike to a show, I'd put a nice coat of Pinnacle Carnauba wax on it right before the show, it looked amazing but here in Florida, it had no durability in the sun/heat. I've used Zaino, Chemical Guys, Rejex, Meguiar's, Mother's, Menzerna, TW Ice....the list goes on and on.
More importantly, is your prep...you want a nice clean base. I strip off the old sealant/wax using a nice sudsy bath of Dawn dish soap and some quality microfiber wash mitts and rinse very well. I dry with a dedicated electric leaf blower that's used only for my vehicles than I perform the "baggie test". I put my fingers in a plastic baggie and lightly slide them across the clean and dry paint. If it feels rough, I would clay bar the entire vehicle, rinse and dry it again and use the baggie one more time. If the paint has any swirls, I'd remove them and finally, I'd apply a polymer type polish/sealant to finish the job.
Remember to use quality towels and applicators as cheap ones can cause "spider webbing" in your finish.

Thanks flipr for the heads up. I've been looking to purchase the keyless ignition and after seeing the sale price, I pulled the trigger. Greatly appreciate you posting this.
