Liquid Glass is considered a 1st gen polymer sealant. When 1st introduced, it was a huge leap forward. It is still a decent product; but the application process requiring curing, longevity, and need for reapplication doesn't measure up to the latest products.
Zaino is a lineup of terrific, modern polymer products with great durability and shine. But cost, availability and application process make it difficult for me to convert.
I really like the Meguiars NXT tech wax (it's really a sealant). Mothers and Turtle wax also have similar products, but I have not used either of these. All of these products are readily available in local stores. These give a very good shine with excellant durability. NXT is very easy to use, and a little goes a long way. NXT can also be topped easily with a pure carnauba wax for great depth of color. Just don't top with a cleaner wax. And always use a good microfiber cloth to remove waxes and sealants.
Also - if you've never used a clay bar on your car, this is a very easy thing to do, and prepares the paint surface for polish or waxing. The surface prep work is critical to good results. After washing your car, run your hand across the paint - you'll likely feel some grit embedded in the paint. Clar barring will remove the contaminants, leaving the paint super smooth.
IMHO, Liquid Glass is not a product I would choose with the availability of newer, better products.
