glaze

Hardly any glaze comes without cleaning power (and quite a few with abrasives). As a topper on wax/sealant, only a couple options exist.
I personally think "within" the family glaze/wax bonding should work (PB, CG, prima, auto finesse etc). Also, besides oily glazes (that work well with waxes) there are acrylic glazes (PB , CG, AF) that do let the sealant bond well. But this may all be just my perception.

Sorry but hardly any liquid based product comes without cleaning power. Many will come with the same abrasives and such which you are talking about. So if you are concerned at the glaze harming your sealant/wax, why do you think that your sealant/wax will not harm your glaze (which is inherently less durable)?

Within the family - sorry but that is mostly marketing to have you buy their products. I would hazard I would be able to actually name the functional ingredients in many products. The product manufacturers rarely (if ever) actually make the functional additives. We buy them in from someone who synthesises them. Unlike products on the retail market, there are not hundreds of 'brands' to buy these from and there are not thousands of products. There are a handful of multinationals who make them with a scattering of specialists. Within that, the differences between the materials of the same class are small. You might find that one gives more durability and slightly different beading but you don't find that one works and the other doesn't. Going between glaze and sealant means that you have two distinct groups of actives - you might as well be going from one active supplier to another. At best, the manufacturer has tested and shown that you can layer one on top of the other and it looks good. At worst they will never have bothered because the reality is that there is almost no good reason that they won't.

Acrylic glaze - what is that? Acrylic is another one of these terms that gets thrown around and I am unsure that it is used in a way that matches the technical meaning. I have seen the nano term applied to glazes as well. This game is all about marketing and the more complicated manufacturers make it sound, the more inclined (it seems) that the detailing community will want to try it (and, indeed, believe it).


I disagree, Mike Phillips has stated (at least with the Meguiar's Line) that the trade secret oils in their polishes and glazes do not adversely affect the adherence of their waxes and sealants. Maybe he will see this and chime in.

I don't disagree that the adherence will be OK, this is what I would expect. However, sealants bond to surfaces, that is how they work. If they bond to the surface, the glazes/oils are no longer in direct contact so, contrary to the 'sealing in' view, they are now back on top of the sealant, not underneath it. With a wax, as above, this can be different. The wax is just non-bonding hydrocarbon which sits on top, just like the glaze. That being said, the chances of the glaze not being mobilized during application of a wax are slim to nil.

Swanciyouth tested PL over Blackhole with no issues. I have used sealants over glazes no issues,all sealants lasted normal duration, glaze didnt have a negative effect.

Again, I am not suggesting that the glazes have a negative effect. In fact, most sealants will have many of the same ingredients. What I am saying is that a sealant will not have the positive effect on a glaze which people seem to believe.
 
Bingo. I was not impressed with EZ Creme Glaze at all. Another worth mentioning is CG Blacklight. Does a good job at filling but adds a little wax too.

I just used some ez creme last night and its fantastic! Blacklight is a glaze/sealant combo.

It's all good bro. I'm just trying to find an easy combo to hide swirls for the car shoe season. Not worried if it only last a weeks just want the paint to look good for the weekends lol

It will do the job. I put some on last night on some light swirls and it looks amazing. It got dark so I couldnt do the whole car but I did some 50/50 and its night and day difference.

I have found the same thing with both Black Hole and Amigo. Both were designed to be covered by an LSP. Blackfire GEP is another glaze-like product like Amigo designed to be topped. In my case, I've topped both Black Hole and Amigo with 845 and never experienced any durability issues.
 
I like CG products I ordered some of their glossworks glaze and lava can't wait to try them both out also grabbed some jetseal gotta have that
 
CG glossworkz is a great filling glaze, but the glaze that does everything well is BHole.
