0 Performance Auto Detailing Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I LOVE brilliant glaze. It can help cover up stuff you didn't get out during polishing and gives a great shine. .G.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 camaro2ssblack Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 It's instant gratification but not much longevity at all. If you are getting ready for a show, maybe worth it, otherwise I don't bother to take the extra 30 min. Just my opinion, not bashing the product.

0 Performance Auto Detailing Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 +1 on the longevity. but I would say it's meant to be an instant gratification product. not a long lasting product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chase@InsanePaint Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 UNDER Americana or Patriot, you'll get better length of enjoyment, as it won't dissipate until the wax does. BEFORE a show, it'll melt your face off. And will last about a week, before UV rays or water eliminate its effect. It's an absolutely RIDICULOUS shine. But you have to understand the context of its application. It has its purpose in the lineup, and when used for its intention, you will LOOOOOVE IT. Agreed it's not my most "frequently used" product. But when it's used.......!!!! Redbeard, BRZN, GaryW and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 EPHIOS Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 BG can cover up most of the defects that you cannot remove during a correction session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 j-r35 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Sad thing is i've had it for close to a year and only used it twice. Probably apply another layer w/buttery on the gtr for kicks, then do a strip wash and americana before i store it for winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dipolley Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I love this product. After a paint correction it will fill and "hide" any micro-scratches and basically flatten out the finish. Add Americana on top and oh man. The depth of the reflection is amazing and really increases the shine. Once at a show I add another thin layer on top of the Americana and also on the wheels. This coat of Brilliant Glaze does not last long especially on the wheels but on a sunny day you must wear sunglasses when looking at your vehicle. As far a windows, I love it. It is not much of a stretch to add it to the glass. It has a bit of a detergent quality to it and the filling effect will decrease the surface tension on the glass giving a Glass Sealant effect for a short time (days instead of weeks compared to Glass Sealant). Hands down this is one of my favorite and most versatile products in the Adam's line of products. And the smell is wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 On a DD IMO it's not needed. I won't say it's worthless, but it's not something I use. For a show car, or a car you want to impress people with, it's the bomb digity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GaryW Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) I cleaned up the Sonata lastnight,, Pressure wash really good to get all the Florida bugs off. Got it all washed up,, beaded up really good. Of course just waxed ole girl last week. So I broke out the BG, laid a coat down and wiped her off real good, hit all the chrome and windows and all the lites. Ole girl was glowing. Looked like it was still wet. While BG will make show car pop, made my DD feel like a show car. The paint looks so clear and sparkles. The tail and headlites looks so clear and bright after BG. Just went out and checked it out again, and it still glows really good. BG has no protection, but the car still has a good coat of wax . Just my thoughts...

BG will degrade your carnuba wax which is why they recommend topping with BW, APW, or Patriot... Sealant not so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 KKJ Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I have an all black Yukon and I applied brilliant glaze over machine super sealant and americana, and sorry to say, I really didn't notice much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 .G.. Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I used it for the first time after my paint correction to get ready for a show last week. I must say it really made the paint Shine. Of course I then followed it with Americana. I think brilliant glaze is my favorite product ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 RonBoy Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Worth it even on my DD, just glazed this morning and will lay on either Americana or Patriot this afternoon. It isn't a show car by any means, but I am heading to one tonight. It is fun to have your car looked at in the parking lot & get the what do you use question. I just smile and point to my Adam's sticker. Found the sky on my trunk, BG followed with Patriot. Edited August 10, 2013 by RonBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 crazycody93 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I was skeptical at first, and i decided to give it a shot on my truck which is my DD/Show truck. I was working on it in a garage, under fluorescent lights and it didn't seem like i was getting any results, but i couldn't quit because those lights show EVERYTHING. So i went around the whole truck, and laid some wax over the top, and as soon as i pulled it out into the light was blown away at how well it shined. It made any flaws you have left, seem to just blend in, instead of standing out. And on my truck (black) as most people know, it's easy to see anything that's wrong with it. It is easily one of my favorites now, and even with everyones input, i don't think you'll be able to tell it's value until you try it yourself. I love it, and will absolutely recommend it, but my guess is if you decide to try it, you won't be disappointed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 CMDChase Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 BG is also my favorite product. After a wash for a quick shine or under Americana it can't be beat. And on glass...it's the best. Loads of uses inside the house too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BRZN Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hmm, is BG worth it? Let's see, put it on Friday evening and took this home Saturday afternoon! Makes blacks blacker, reds more vibrant and metallics like mine POP! Team Adam's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 03blackSSS Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 LOVE IT! I sealed and waxed my SSS back in May, I am due for a re-wax, but need to go deeper on the polishing. So last night I laid a coat of glaze to bring the shine back on my truck to hold me over a couple more weeks. MAN does this thing shine! My Adam's arsenal never seems to let me down! Brilliant glaze is worth every penny every time I use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
