Obbop, the curmudgeon of twisted mind and persnickety persona, is a reclusive shanty-bound behemouth but tends to trend towards truthfulness in his opining.
Gave up on Liquid Glass after tendering many recommendations.
"Oh my gawd, WHY?!!!!!!" I can hear the collective gasp of the assembled semi-multitude.
Because I am growing lazy in my advanced years. Liquid Glass takes more effort to apply and remove than the new-fangled spray-on waxes, polishes, sealants and detailing sprays.
Sheer basic laziness. But, it is laziness that compelled many inventors to find more efficient methods of performing chores. What would yah' rather dig a ditch with... a pick and shovel or a backhoe? See. Laziness can be GOOD!!!!
Okay, is this decal on the flanks of the Silverado reflective?
Too lazy to don some clothes capable of fending off a trillion skeeters and shine a light on the dern thing.
After multiple applications of Liquid Glass, a few of Nu-Finish and a whole bunch more of other paint/finish protective products I have yet to see any degradation of the decal. Of course, care is taken with the physical application of product when upon the decal so as not to lift an edge etc. due to too aggresive application or removal of protectant.
The decals still look akin to new even after the sundry products have sat upon the decals, one per side.
Hopefully, someone can chime in to declare if those decals are reflective or not.
The decal upon the back is not reflective:
and there is no evidence of damage. Oh, shanty shed in the background says "Howdy."
I know this diatribe isn't of much help until some kind soul can let us know if the 4x4 decal is reflective or not.
My cootish gut feeling with no objective replicable clinically-studied proof is that the greatest possible danger to any decal/applique/whatever is the physical aspect of buffing/rubbing/etc. when applying or removing a sealer/wax/polish/whatever.
Righty-O
