Didn't mean to give the wrong impression there. You are correct I believe, I was speaking specifically about Black Hole, which hides minor swirls with fillers.

Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0 isn't a glaze at all, its a polish. They dropped the ball when naming it.

my aunt drives a pretty swirled up black acura 1.6 el. I think I'll divide the trunk lid into 3 sections and do:
1.PBBH then Natty Blue
2.CG blacklight then KSG
3.nothing but pretty swirls
I'll leave it for a month then check how the swirls look.
watch for my post!

Ah I see. So the Pinnacle PCL for example which chemically cleans paint but also has fillers might be considered a glaze?

glazes generally don't have any cleaners. The glazes I do have are geared towards darker colours and therefore seem to be darker in colour (purple and dark purple).
Maybe it's part of the hiding process in that the fillers also stain the edges of clearcoat swirls to make them less noticeable.
Most polishes and cleaners have oils and carriers so the abrasives can do their job. If there are still swirls after you are finished, then these oils can fill the voids and make you think you have perfect paint when you really don't, which is why ppl do wipedowns etc. Some also feel that the oils don't allow for proper bonding. I'm no chemist but I don't think the oils will interfere that much unless a product specifically states it must be applied to clean paint (see Mike's article on synergistic compatibility / miscible & immiscible).
Anyway, imo, a cleaner can have some filling properties but it must be something over and above the normal carrier that must be present otherwise, all polishes, compounds, cleaners, waxes etc could be called glazes...
