Need some quick advise. This is the first time I've used Menzerna Products. I'm working on an 04 Toyota Highlander (My first Black Car :D). I did a test section to see what I might be getting into. First I tried the IP with a White CCS pad, not enough cut to get the swirls or scratches, so I moved up to an Orange Pad... Worked out great; broke down quickly, some dusting. Then I went to the Finial Polish with a White CCS Pad, this time it didn't seem to break down all the way didn't turn transparent or dust at all (after about 4-5 at minutes at 5.5 on my PC). I wiped it off still had good results. Then I tried the Finishing Glaze with a Gray CCS Pad. Still didn't break down all the way, it acted just like the Finishing Polish.

Here's the questions: Am I doing something wrong? Like using too much product or not working them long enough?

Next question; I've been reading some of the other posts on Glazes and Sealants. From what I gather it's one or the other. You shouldn't use a Sealant over a Glaze. (Right?).
In the ad/info on AG Menzerna recommends Wolfgang Deep Paint Sealant over its products. Does this include the Finishing Glaze too? If so how long should I let the Glaze cure before applying the Sealant or even the Wax?? (I'm using Souveran Paste)

Sorry this is so long :o .

Thanks for the help .

Since Menzerna does not make a non-cleaning wax or sealant, we recommend Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant to seal in the shine after using Menzerna polishes and finishing glaze. Wolfgang’s water-based formula is compatible with all Menzerna polishes.
 
I have not had a problem with Menzerna breaking down. I use the pad combo as you did, my trick is do a 2x2 section and move slowly over the area up and down / side to side / and diagonally. Go slowly and don't be afraid to put it on 6!
 
Glaze doesn't need to be cured. You can apply a coat of sealant, let it cure (12+ hours), then apply wax.
 
a pure glaze with oils and fillers to wet and enhance paint will not allow a sealant to properly adhere to it. There are a couple glazes (usually more like a finishing polish) that sealants like and seem to work well with. I would however remember that generally waxes and glazes go together.
 
Thank you all for the help. :D From the looks of things I'm going to be a busy boy tomorrow :D:buffing: Have a great night, and a better tomorrow!!!!
 
I tested Menzerna Power lock on my E200 Kom.A result look right BFWD.
