Default Opinions on Glare Polish - protecting polished parts

Hey guys,

I've had good experience with caswell products polishing/restoring the wheels on my car and various engine parts, aluminum mostly. I originally clearcoated these parts using Glisten PC from POR-15...three years later rust has developed underneath metal parts and has started to flake off two of my wheels. I love low maintence but having a coating fail on is not good. I'm done with clearcoating my parts, I'll just try and keep a good coat of wax on my wheels.

I'm in the process of building a new motor for my car and am deciding what I should polish, largely based on how much I want to maintain. I drive my car every day and the lower maintenance it needs the better, but I'd like it to look good aswell. In my searches, I cam across "glare polish" that happens to be sold by caswell. I read the article posted here:

http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/glare...are-polish.htm

and it mentions it can seal polished parts for up to 5 years. I've visited their website and it sounds like bull mainly. "parts of glass the bond to the metal" so...somehow they've made sand into a liquid?? and "Glass is the only thing that blocks UV rays". this is definatley wrong...but I won't get into it.

anyways, I don't care what bad marketing information they spew out, so long as it works. some people on corvette forums have had good luck with it on their paint but I'm mainly interested in how it works on polished parts and it's long lasting protection.

does anybody here have any experience using the polish as a protectant? if so, I'd love to hear your experiences.

Thanks,
Steve
