Short Story;
We never review our shipping rates last time we made some changes to the site so we sold a 4oz kit to Hawaii, it cost us $33 USA, to ship the kit alone, the kit was $24.00 a total loss for us, but for me, I am sure I gain a new customer because of our awesome product.
So yes I could ship to you guys in CANADA, we ONLY charge what it cost us, if is $10 or if is $2 we dont make a penny on shipping, heck we make very little money on all of these deals, but for me what is important is that the new customers try our products and realize that yes indeed you have a choice.
Same goes to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico

1. Do we have a sealer or glaze?
Our paint protection could also be termed a sealer somewhat, although the proper terminology for any product for an application like this would probably not be a sealer.
The term itself says that you are sealing something up, painted surfaces need "to breathe" so to total seal one off is not the best.
A glaze on the other hand is for all practical speaking "lipstick on a pig" meaning, you are probably hiding something. Think of it this way, most women wear makeup, with it on, they are hiding blemishes, etc, but just as soon as they wash their face, the defects are still there. We prefer to fix the problem rather that cover it up.
If the customer is looking for a product that does what those other products profess to do, then I suggest they use our SRP, Spot Repair Polish, which is in the bodyshop line, performs the function of a glaze but is not a coverup, it actually takes the imperfections from the surface rather than covering them.
Will we ever make a glaze, just to have one in name, probably not, I prefer function over form. Identifying right at the start what we are going to accomplish, then doing just that is most important to us, no matter what name you might have on the product.
We do not want to have a product that washes off the car and reveals something that we should have done with a product earlier in the process.
2. Difference between a sealer and a glaze?
The general thinking is this, a sealer is to lock in a particular condition of the paint and keep it looking that way. You can think of it as putting of a coat of clear.
As I mentioned earlier, a glaze tells me right off that there is something that is being hidden.
When you ask most people why they use a glaze, first of all, most don't know why they are using it and the others will tell you that is to cover minor surface imperfections. Why not fix the problem rather than covering it up?
Going through the steps we suggest with the products we suggest will produce the results we advertise and will not wash off. some glazes are even color keyed for the paints, i.e., light for light colors, dark for dark. Now think about that.
3. Products that will last a year?
First, that is a pretty open-ended statement. Our product will last one or two years, providing that the car is kept in storage, no dust around, not driven, etc. Now, things being under "normal" conditions, drinving, etc., there is not a wax out there that will last a year.
Some of those that put that claim, have a little statement on their ad that says " with proper maintenance and a new coat every three months" it will last for the time prescribed. Most of the off the shelf waxes out there are so solvent laden that after a few days or weeks, there is nothing left. On those that there is a question, look at their MSDS sheets and look for the solvent content and it will answer some questions.
4. Products that claim to seal your paint?
A true sealer would probably not allow the paint to "breathe". What you mainly want to do is to protect the surface from the elements, somewhat of a barrier, yet still allowing the paint to breathe. You want something that will not penetrate the paint, so it must not be high in penetrating solvents, it needs to just attach to the surface, in this case, the paint.(Now this why is am so adamant about the surface being free of contaminants, i.e. overspray, because if you don't, you are just putting wax on contaminants, and it will wash off right away)
Hope that helps

we dont recommend to mix our products with other brands, all the R&D that we have done is using our own line of products.
