Stuf Products is the brainchild of a bunch of car guys and gals who gottogether at lunch one day and thought, How hard is it to make wax?

Our associate editor was sure to include Eagle One in this list, buthe'll admit to being a bit biased, saying, "I've used this stuff since Iwas old enough to drive." Admittedly, this wasn't that long ago (wedidn't know you really could get a license out of a box of CrackerJacks), but we'll overlook his driving record for now and concentrateinstead on the product.

One of the easiest brands tofind at your local store, E1 offers a wide range of high-qualitycar-care products.

Glare was once a relatively unknown company that promised big things inthe future. Long a standard of the aviation world, Glare recently beganoffering its polish for professional and casual automotive use.Formulated with the silicate Glassplexin, Glare polish purportedly"turns to glass on and within the painted surface and becomes part ofthe paint." According to Glare, Glassplexin forms a covalent bond andbecomes a rock-hard barrier that protects against sunlight, road grime,and just about everything else. If it sounds too good to be true, justtake a look at Glare's five-year warranty. If a reapplication isrequired within that time frame, a Glare referral center willprofessionally detail your car free of charge. We'll be trying Glareourselves in the near future, so look for a product review in anupcoming issue.
