Was contacted by this gentlemen who was looking to prep the car for the spring/summer. No paint correction was done. It needs a light compounding and polish but nothing major, it's in decent shape to start from. I knew exactly what I was going to do to this one and it turned out fantastic. I didn't take any before pictures just a few quick after ones as the owner needed to return home. I believe this is the Titanium Silver Metallic. Total time was 2 hours and 45minutes. I thought I would finally have a day off and the owner called and told me he was on the way to the shop, so I got ready and drove over.

Great pics man! Love the last few alot.

EZ-Glaze and BF sealant is great stuff as well..great job on cleaning her up!
 
I look forward to your posts! Great job as usual! You are really starting to sell me on the EZ Creme Glaze; I want to try it out with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant.
 
Nice job!

Any particular reason you used max speed on the pcxp to apply a glaze? You weren't trying to correct, right?

I use it to clean the paint and prep the surface for the sealant. No correction is done.

Isn't EZ Creme more of a sealant than a true glaze?

It is a glaze that has a acrylic base to a sealant can be put on top of it without bonding issues. Provides little protection by itself but you can top it with a sealant unlike other glazes that can not be topped because they are oil based.

Exactly the answer I was looking for. :xyxthumbs:
 
Exactly, it's a great prep product for a sealant. Plus I can get about 75 cars out of 1 bottle.

I'm going to be applying EZ Creme for the first time tomorrow. I assume I can run the DA over the paint surface quickly since I'm not trying to correct? Do you have to work it in for a long time?

Thanks

1 small pea sized drop will do half a door or an entire fender. Speed 6 and work it in for about 25-30 seconds perhaps. You will see how it absorbs into the paint and no wiping is needed. You can go straight to your sealant then.
