<HTML>thanks for your reply bud.i think renny doyle uses raceglaze exclusively and has helped in the development of the product in recent years.im no chemist but its my understanding that companies are getting away from products with silica because of the health hazards involved with breathing it.anyway im going to orlando in january and i look forward to meeting you.</HTML>by dave rosh - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>bud i know raceglaze claims to use no silica,i dont use their stuff a lot i mostly use autogylm compounds they work the best for me.although i plan on trying some detail plus product very soon.i was wondering if your swirl remover was an actual remover or a swirl hider before i order any.</HTML>by dave rosh - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>raceglaze also uses this reference,its my understanding that a leveler is less abrasive than a compound and creates less swirls atleast thats their marketing pitch.still a good product none the less.</HTML>by dave rosh - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>autoglym is the best product i have ever used,as far as buffing goes.but ever since norton stopped selling autoglym i cant seem to get their products.i think ill give menzerna a try if its that good.also try optimum its seems to be on the right track.</HTML>by dave rosh - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
