Although this name is huge in the US in the Automotive industry? Cam why dont you test it to see how good it is...then I can use it on my stuff too!!!!!

this is a very well known company that has been around for yonks, Glisten, I had a go at on sill covers, didn't work for me, left brush marks, may of been better if I had sprayed it on

I have used POR Glisten on most of the polished aly parts on my GT40 & have been seriously impressed.  At first, I was dubious about the "hammer tough" claims, so I did a test - cleaned up a test piece & brushed some Glisten on.  I left it for 3 days then whacked into in with a ball-peen hammer - all I got was dents - no cracking / peeling / etc !

I found that the best way to apply it is is one rather generous coat (everey time I tried the recommended 2nd coat, I had brush marks).  With one solid coat (using 5-10% POR thinners), the self levelling capability is amazing.  BUT, you must follow the recommended cleaning process with the right POR products beforehand.

I'll be using this for all the alloy/aly bits on the Vette - it looks better than silver ceramic coating, & is way cheaper & easier.

BTW, don't bother trying to use it on mild steel - looks good for a while, but then you get rust steaks.

Kind Regards,

Peter D.
