Hi thoughts on a Glaze for the wet look
I know that the paint has to be in good condition.

Thanks
 
I've used Megs, and basically every 3M Glaze ever made. All the 3M products have always been very good.
The reformulation of Megs #7 is probably a good bet.

And like Ronkh57 says, the Poor Boys World Glaze is quite outstanding.

Never tried the White Diamond yet, but have bought and used the Black Hole Glaze, and it is a fantastic Glaze IMO. Liked it so much, I sent 2 Bottles of Black Hole to my buddy Cadillac Jimmy in Sarasota,Fla, to use on his Black '65 Caddy that still has the original paint.
 
You also have the CG acrylic glazes to choose from too and Prima Amigo if you don't want an oily glaze.
 
I like the following products that have
the word “Glaze” in their name, as well
as on their label:

•3M Imperial Hand Glaze (IHG)
•Finish Kare 303 Foam Pad Glaze
•Meguiar’s M07 Show Car Glaze

Hi thanks I have tried
I add this is for modern clear coat

1. 3M Hand Glaze 05590
2. 3M perfect it finishing glaze 09377
3. Poorboys Black Hole
4. Meguiars no 7

The above order is how I would rate them. The 3m have the edge but the others are still very good

I wonder what the Chemical Guys ones are like


Thanks
 
HD Speed correction glaze isn't what most people think about when they hear the term glaze. BUT, when used on a soft foam polishing pad IMO the Montan Wax combined with the very fine abrasives in the formulation leaves an incredible finish that creates the most gloss, lasts longer, and is MUCH easier to apply than any dedicated glaze I've tried. Especially Finish Kare 303 Foam pad glaze. It's one of the worst traditional "glaze" products on the market IMO. I'm pretty sure AG has struggled to even give that stuff away.

If you are set on using a more traditional glaze, you may like Britemax Black Max Ultrafine glaze. It's pretty easy to use. The gloss left behind by HD Speed is still better.
 
Going with mwoywod and HD Speed.....crazy slick, glossy wet look when applied with a polishing pad....
 
I have wanted to try CG Glossworkz Glaze but have went with other options. But if you where to try CG I would consider this. And from what I have seen Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant would maybe work great to top it of. Or something that brightens up and not has a darkening effect. I know that Gyeon Wet Coat does leave a crispy bright gloss and those spray on spray off seems to stick on anything.

For my car that I will when spring comes I have been intresting to test out Polish Angel. So it became PA Angelic Gloss Kit that contains esclate lotion that is a abrasive paint cleaner but has the ability to improving the intensity of the paints color as an abrasive glaze maybe. Then the Master Sealant to protect it and är more wetlook and gloss. Then as a maintance topper High Gloss that does ad what it's named. I have been recommended to apply 2 layers of Master Sealant. And they will be able to apply to 5-7 cars a little goes a long way.

Going back 35 years, I can remember all sorts of Glazes. Never forgot.

The old Blue Coral Glaze in the Glass Bottle that came with the little Glass Jar of Carnauba. The Glaze was great, and so was the wax, as long as you laid the wax down, and came immediately behind to take off. Otherwise, Angle Grinder time just about.

Ah, Liquid Ebony, brings back good memories, and long gone.

Meg's #7, back in the day, again Angle Grinder time, and with a fresh from the shop bottle, lay it down and come behind instantly I often found it would work you to death! I dropped Megs completely for 20 years at least, as life is short. The new stuff might be better in this regard.

3M, I've used everything, Imperial, Microfinishing, Perfect-It in various blends, for rotary-machine and hand glazes.

I've taken dull lackluster rides, and transformed them with 3M and a rotary to knock your eyes out show winners, and as smooth as glass to the touch.

But I also have noticed that when many of the 3M Glazes get a little old, they too become very difficult to work with, especially to remove. That's when you know it's time to toss them, and buy a fresh Bottle.

I would assume with Poor Boys, and any others that are true Glazes would possess similar traits when they get old. That they get harder and harder to work with, and won't produce as well end results.

After proper paint correction or paint in good condition as you put it, the only wet look you going to further add will be from a carnauba.

I'll be honest with you, I think the one of the best looks my car ever had is when I used show car glaze and just topped with turtle wax ice spray wax back when I didn't know what I was doing. The problem is it only lasts 2-3 days. Ive come to the conclusion its not really worth using.

Thats not true meguiar's show car glaze will add an enhanced wet look to any paint no matter how good it's polished. It just won't last.

Really, Bob loves that stuff. I know its an abrasive finishing polish with glaze in the name. I bought a bottle on the cheap and never used it.
 
For me it depends on what I'm doing.

If I want to hide defects, Poorboys Black Hole is my favorite. If I want to spruce up the finish a bit, I'll use Prima Amigo. From my experience, Black Hole has much better filling ability, but the mild abrasives in Amigo makes it almost work like a paint cleaner.
 
The Auto Finesse Ultra Glaze is probably the best filling glaze I have ever used, but its the oily type and you 're limiting yourself to a wax on top. I don't think any sealant would sit well on top.

I'll second the notion for the Polished Angel Escalate lotion as a fantastic paint cleanser finish polish . It really does make colors more vivid.

Hopefully someday you’ll realize
the paradox that lays within your
above statement.

Aha...it just won’t last... when you learn to properly correct and finish paint and a glaze adds something, go back to learning how to cut and finish. The fact that you are able to get a wet look from a glaze after your correction says alot about the correction itself.
 
I also subscribe to the school of thought that when your clear coat is well polished, a glaze doesn't add much.
