dynamic, you're basicly right about the glaze. glaze is a "temorary" thing,...like before a car show or to throw that quick shine down. so covering it with a sealant will lock the gaze in a little longer
Ok, this is honestly one of the single most confusing things to me... so let me see if I can get this straight once and for all:
1. Sealants work BEST and are INTENDED to be applied DIRECTLY to the clear coat, on freshly cleaned paint with NO waxes, glazes, or old wold sealant underneath, right?
2. BUT... sealants CAN ALSO be used to put OVER other items like Glazes or Waxes for example, to extend the life of whatever is below them, it just won't be able to bond directly to the paint in this situation, but will still render the same crisp detail and gloss, along with the durable protection and longevity... it just won't be curing and bonding directly to the paint!?
Feed back please
I see a lot of posts about "topping" sealants and waxes with other waxes. If you are going to layer your products you definitely want to lay down the sealant first. A straight carnauba wax isn't going to last as long but some people like the added depth and warmth it gives the paint. Most sealants are designed to bond directly to paint or on top of the same sealant. Anything else in between the paint and the sealant is going to shorten the life span of the product. Likewise with wax.
So, you may be getting a little more depth or gloss by layering but I don't think you are adding a whole lot more durability. My personal preference is to wash/clay/polish/chemically stip the paint with 12% IPA, then sealant or wax. IMO this gives lets the LSP do it's job which is form a strong bond with clean paint and create shine and lasting protection.
Now, many people do apply a glaze before a sealant to hide minor swirls. The trade off is reduced durability of the sealant.
You should use one or the other.
1. They both do the same thing.
Your wasting time money and product using them both.
2. The defenition of a glaze or polish (glaze/polish are the same thing) is a product that contains no protection.
There would never be any wax in a polish/glaze. After using a polish/glaze product you would then want to protect the shine with a wax(natural) or sealant(manmade) I'm not sure the second layer would even stick to the first. Nothing sould stick to a freshly waxed car if your using a half way decent product.
oh, BTW sixty3...let us know what you think of the 5050
is it worth the $$$ ?
