I have to work on a 1995 911 with SS paint. Car is red and the paint isn't faded like some older cars. I've been seeing some write ups where people use a glaze right before waxing the car.

I'd like to know why is a glaze ? Is it always recommended when working on SS paint?


Thanks
 
There's a lot of products with the word "glaze" in the name on the bottle but the "glaze" that has been around since the Model T, or in other words has been around since single stage "automotive paints" were introduced and continues to be here through the last 100 years of car paint evolution is the #7 Show Car Glaze.

This is non-abrasive, pure polish that contains polishing oils that have historically proven themselves to be very good at bringing out the full richness of color in single stage paints.

Any oily polish will soak in or migrate into a single stage paint to some level and increase depth.

Perhaps others will chime in with the "glaze" type products that work best for them...


Note that on brand new clear coats, whether a new factory finish or a new re-spray, the clear layer is very dense or impermeable and so the oils in glazes don't tend to migrate into the paint as much or very far.



Now how about a picture of this Porsche?

-Nothing better in the "glaze-horse-race", in my humble opinion...
than perennial 1st place winner: Meguiar's #7.

-Although often considered a different 'animal'...
3M Imperial Hand Glaze runs a very close second!
