I'm gonna try the Glow Foam polish, by JBS. Gonna introduce it next month, as a "Glow in the Dark" 3x foam, as a Halloween type theme! Hopefully it will boost my night time sales, & my Automatic sales overall.

The Glow Foam is certainly a colorful product but it doesn't seem to do anything.

It doesn't claim to provide any protection and there's no noticeable difference in the finish.

I haven't even noticed that it is any brighter than my other glow foam!

We were using the glow foam polish - maybe they reformulated it, because I don't recall it saying anything about having silicone carnauba wax in it, and it stained a bunch of cars.

how powerful would it have to be, to stain someone's paint?

Never heard of that... My Glow Foam is very avg in color. Any more advice?

The only permanent staining I have seen was on some badly oxidized single stage paint jobs. The paint was in such bad condition that we could not risk any serious buffing. Most staining can be removed either with a good cleaner wax or light duty compound.

The staining we had from the JBS was on faded vehicles, but it was never permanent. The sun would bleach it out in a couple days.

Yeah, old conversion vans from late 80s early 90s are real bad on this. Many were two tone with white faded chalky paint. Color gets stuck under the top rails and runs down. If you foam brush it right away it will come off.. But the paints so faded you have to do the whole thing so its evenly clean.
