    A little more info. You may have already seen the link in the previous thread I sent you (post #5).
    http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/47256-clear-bra-correction.html

    Seems to be varying opinions on this. I'd be as gentle as I could be. No harsh abrasives, but perhaps a very fine polish by hand (Ultimate Polish)? Don't take my word on it. Do a little research. At the very least, I think any polymer paint sealer would be fine (ULW, for example) to seal it up. I'd stay away from coatings. And as mentioned in the post- any carnauba without cleaning properties is also ok. If it were mine, I'd use ULW or 303 aerospace protectant. I think the 303 would have to pretty much be wiped dry, though. ULW might work a little better for sealing. No need to let it sit. Wipe on wipe off with a microfiber. Again, that's just me. Bet water would roll right off with a coat of ULW.

    I've not used it, but I think it might be an acrylic based product, as opposed to polymer based like ULW. I've been trying to get to the bottom of this. Arylics are polymers. But I don't think all polymers contain acrylic. Easy to get tied up in the verbiage. Users love liquid glass. Lots of fans. But I've read that certain acrylic based sealers actually etch clear coats. Something I'd like to avoid if possible. So... Basically I know nothing about liquid glass, and I'd want to know more before trying it. It's very long lasting compared to anything I've mentioned in the post. It's different tech than more modern "coatings", but I'd tend to put it in the coating category.
