    1Z Glans Wax

    Glanz is a synthetic wax..no real carnauba in it...so you could call it a sealant in a way..but with a waxed look...its a very watery product...like Klasse .... you can top another sealant with it or just use it straight from the can....or even top with a wax if you desired.. AL

    Aaron...it will be best to get some good pictures to see what we are dealing with....Like David said..it could be a hack job..or they did not finish or buff the paint correctly.... Fresh paint should not look hazed at all... Al

    Hot Water Extractor

    why not use in the solution tank....I do...then after I do the wash I use plain water in the tank and re do it sucking up any residual cleaners...using hot soap solution is much better than letting it dwell...plus using a traffic lane cleaner you spray that down on the rug first to dwell...then...
