Pure Polish / Glaze Application

How does one apply CG WMF? Does it work like LSP where you leave it to dry before removing? Or more like a polish...work it a little bit on a paint and remove it before it completely dry out.... Or is it like meguiars #7, where you wipe on wipe off like a lotion?

AG doesnt condone talking about other products. They just dont allow people trying to push or advertise a product they dont carry. You havent been here long enough but AG has loosened up on this a lot. In the past you could never say the name chemical guys as its name was blocked on the forums as "##."
 
Apply it in a small area and work it in a bit til lit is almost gone then just wipe off all excess. Will give you a pretty darn good look, personally like ez-glaze better as it can be used under sealants also.

I thought you would of known about them Shawn, they are pretty well known in detailing circles. Thought as a AG tester you would test AG products vs. the competition (which they are deff one).

You can talk about other products, but no links. Not too cool to start a link however.:nomore::nomore:

He tests for Auto Geek and they don't carry Chemical Guys products. So why should he lose his title?

To fully test something it should be put against the competition and see how it stacks up against others. CG is a competitor, AG products should go against this and be tested against them. If they truly are good they will come out on top, if they do not work as well as others then back to the board to improve them. If you only testing out one line of products and that is it, it is not really testing but just using.

Go to any company and they always have competitors products in the shop to test against, beta testers are encouraged to put them against what they are currently using. It is the only way to improve on a line and give a true test/review of a product.

Like sufer said, he was just messing around saying he does not know CG. I was just going on this and messing around saying if he didnt they should pull the title as he is not testing the products like one should to give accurate reviews of them.

True, but AG is just a distributor and not a manufactor so it would hard to improve a product that they don't make.
 
I understand your logic, but one can test products without comparison against other brands.

They do own the PBMA line.

Would expect more from a "Official AG Tester" as in testing against others to see how it stacks up.

Not trying to take away from the thread or argue about it. Was just messing around and seems to of been taken bit too far. Sorry.

Back to the OP, wipe on, wipe off and you are good to go.
 
It's all good with me bro! I was just making a simple statement, not trying to start anything either. :xyxthumbs:
 
To the original poster, it can be used either before or after a sealant. You can put it on by hand or by orbital buffer with a very mild pad. Either way work it in till it disappears. It is a very nice product for that little extra that you sometimes want. It will fill though, so make sure you do your job properly first with polish to remove any and all faults and then use the WMF.
 
Wow...talking about response..not even 24 hours and so many replies. First apologize for even mentioning ##... haven't been active on this forum to know the forum ethics/rule... mod can delete this thread if u find it inappropriate...again was asking for opinions, not trying to start anything.

I'll change the topic into pure polish/glaze... Anyway the point was how to correctly apply polish/glaze as i heard two sides of opinion...some work the product more like jeweling and others see it as wipe on wipe off and see no benefit in working the product long enough....

I was a bit confused since some of the LSPs contain strong enough solvent or cleaner that can wipe off the result that I got from glaze... I was trying to get an extra depth from the glaze and multiply the result with the correct LSP. Either my eyes aren't trained well enough or the final result that I was getting were more from the LSP... Again any feedback will be really appreciated....

Yupe...just trying to follow to code of the forum..... My LSP is either Collinite 915 or Megs#21... both said to have strong solvent and lil bit of cleaner respectively... I've also different LSPs that I want to ask as a pure polish/glaze topper...but darn they're not AG supported product :)

Anyway...for those who've tried it with those two LSPs does it make any sense to have another step before it with PP/glaze?
