New Griot's Garage Paint Glaze

Griot's Garage Paint Glaze

Griot's Garage Paint Glaze

There are some situations when polishing is not the best option. For example, if you have a classic car and you’re trying to maintain the original paint finish. Even though polishing removes just microns of paint, it’s not something you want to do for every little swirl. Richard Griot knows how it is. His team developed Griot’s Garage Paint Glaze for just those occasions when you want perfect-looking paint without polishing.

Griot’s Garage Paint Glaze contains premium oils and fillers that hide swirls and light scratches while enhancing the overall look of the paint. Layer the glaze for better coverage. Even as you’re filling in the low points in the paint, the overall finish will appear clear and bright.

Apply Griot’s Garage Paint Glaze very sparingly. This user-friendly formula is designed to do a lot with just a little. Apply it by hand using a foam or microfiber applicator, or use the Griot’s Garage 6 Inch Random Orbital Polisher and an orange pad. Spread a very thin coat onto the paint and wipe off. There’s no need to let the glaze dry before buffing. Then apply a coat of Griot’s Garage Best of Show Wax or Paint Sealant.

For the occasional swirl, Griot’s Garage Paint Glaze is an easy, effective way to hide the blemish until your next detail. Only you will know it’s not perfect; it’s Griot’s Garage Paint Glaze.

New Covercraft Reflec'tect car covers

Lightweight sun protection!

Covercraft’s Reflec’tect car cover fabric offers excellent UV protection in a light, easy to handle car cover. The fabric is water-resistant and repels dirt and dust. Keep your vehicle clean and cool when it’s parked. The Reflec’tect car cover is convenient enough to use every day. Take it off, fold it up, and stow it in the trunk.

The Reflec’tect car cover is made of UV-reflective silver, woven fabric that reflects UV rays to keep the vehicle cooler. The cover is mildew resistant and breathable to allow any moisture to escape from underneath the cover. That, combined with the cover’s soft touch, make the Reflec’tect car cover a great choice for all seasons.

FEATURES

  • Moisture Resistant – Acid rain, industrial pollutants, tree sap and bird droppings will not harm the fabric.
  • Breathable – Air easily circulates through the fabric to help it dry quickly and reduce heat build-up under cover.
  • Dust / Pollution Barrier – The middle barrier layer acts as a filtration barrier against most airborne pollutants.
  • Easy To Use – Won’t shrink or stretch and retains it’s tailored shape.
  • Three (3) Year Limited Warranty – Against defects in workmanship and/or the fabric becoming unserviceable during normal use. Covercraft will repair or replace, to the original purchaser, after required inspection.
  • Double stitched overlapped seams
  • Neoprene elastic hems – the elastic in the front and rear hems helps hold the cover in place
  • Reinforced, non-scratch grommets – use a tie-down rope (supplied) or a vinyl coated cable and lock (optional)

RECOMMENDED USE
The Reflec’tect car cover is good for indoor or outdoor car storage. The reflective silver finish reflects sunlight to keep the vehicle cooler when stored outside. The cover is dust-resistant, making it perfect for indoor storage as well. Use the cover daily to keep the vehicle cleaner and cooler.

FIT
This fabric is available in custom fit.

Click on the order button below and follow the instructions to select your cover. Exact pricing will be displayed once you have selected your cover.

Antenna openings – All Covercraft covers are made to fit vehicles with retractable antennas. If your vehicle does not have a retractable antenna, you will need to make a small opening in the fabric. Please indicate in the comment box of your order that you need an antenna grommet and we will be happy to send you one at no extra charge.

Mirror pockets – If your vehicle was manufactured before 1965, the cover you receive may not have mirror pockets, even if it is a custom cover. If the pattern for your particular vehicle does not include built-in mirror pockets, we can send you mirror pockets for free, but they will not be sewn into the cover. Call us for details. This only applies to pre-1965 models.

If your vehicle was made after 1965, your custom car cover will have mirror pockets already sewn into the cover.

You get Covercraftsmanship in every Covercraft car cover!COLORS
The Reflec’tect car cover is available in silver.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
