    There is a rather large thread on the subject that covers everything about LG !!!
    Instructions say apply and let it haze over, wipe off, then bake in the sun. Ideal temperature should be 50 -80. I apply mine in the garage...once all polished I wheel it outside to bake for 2 to 3 hrs.

    I have done it both ways... both work...the sun does have an effect ...It come easily either way!

    I purchased a foam polishing ball that fits into my drill driver and use it with polishing compound for the swirls. Then apply liquid glass even on the wind shield. I can now wash bugs off with a wet rag after every ride. I ride a f6b trike and the bugs really accumulate on the front of the wide fenders.

    I tried Liquid Glass nice shine but it still would show light scratches then I tried Wizard wax better shine and protection. I was happy with it but still small marks scratches would still show.
    I just order some Glare wax yesterday. I called Glare and talked to the head engineer and he told me to order the Winner package he said it would be a three step process and all your scratches will be gone and it will have the best shine ever.
    Check out the site watch the video if it works as good as advertised I will be happy.

    I called my dealer and talked to the parts guy. He didn't seem too interested in answering my questions, but did suggest using the Honda Gloss spray and polish products or something equivalent that has few abrasives to get the light scratches out prior to waxing. He also said that the Honda Gloss serves as a wax. I want to get the scratches out, but also protect the finish from UV rays while it sits and bakes in the parking lot at work.
