Was visiting cars today and came across "aglaze" - http://www.aglaze.com/index.asp - being offered by a BMW dealership.

Has anyone heard of this before? Tried it?

Any thoughts?
 
It'll be the same as Supagard, Diamond Brite etc.

Buy a tin of Collinite 415 wax, it's £15 and it will last longer and give more protection than that stuff!

Collinite is very good stuff and not expensive at all. Just a bit difficult to apply in this weather!
 
Don't do it. Good surface prep (clay bar etc) and then good wax and seal with look much better and last and can be reapplied.

Yup, complete waste of money.

Admittedly years ago i got caught by the diamond brite, but it was free even though they put it on the invoice at £200! Never again :wink:
 
If it were any good every car leaving the showroom would come from the manufacturer with this kind of surface coating as standard, rather than them spend millions on paint finishes.

Waste of money imho and right up there with magnetic fuel mileage improvers and similar snake oil
 
As above waste of money with the money you save buy some good detailing products then

Clay
Polish
Seal
Wax

Then use a QD after every wash to keep that just waxed look.
 
Agree with the other guys. Money would be much better spent on some good wax/sealant.

Finish Kare 1000p is another great one; it's extremely durable, leaves a nice finish and can be used on your wheels aswell!
 
Many years ago, in a former life in the motor trade, I confess to selling (under pressure and duress) to selling Supaglaze. It was a spray on type of polish that cost us about £20.00 per application. We would sell it for as much as the mug.....erm, customer would pay. Often up to £200.00 which was shared 50/50 between the dealership and the salesman. Sounds like the same stuff.

Yea i used to sell it also. Cost about £20 plus £15 to the pikey kid *ahem* 'technician' to apply it. Would cost the customer £200-£300. Total ripoff. It works but its essentially no different to a wax.
 
Thats a fairly resounding no to that then.

Thanks all!

(They want £350 for it, and its apparently what is used on aircraft ...!)

Here you go and very good service http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/collinite/cat_48.html

Personal favorite is the 845 so quick and easy http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/collinite-no-845-insulator-wax/prod_208.html

but remember the prep is the most important bit.

FK1000p as recommended to me by Scott is very tough. Easy to apply and buff too.

I can vouch for the service from CYC, I've never had a spot of bother with them!
