Some GLAZE questions...

Lot's of variances, you have ones heavy in oil, heavy in oil and fillers, and then you have something like XMT Finishing Glaze thats like a combo cleaner/oil/carnauba. Some like RMG have fine abrassives that also allow nice final polishing.
I went with XMT glaze as it isn't heavy in fillers, and has a nice base thats more duable to work with, some people like it better "lookswise" then RMG which if thats the case then I can't wait to use it and top it. It's also a carnauba base so will last longer then normal glazes. You generally apply a glaze after polishing and then top witha wax, though a few rare sealants like EX-P can bond over a glaze pretty well, must be the resin makeup of EX-P (try that with others and you'll have a smear fest). Danase Wet Glaze is another different glaze as it doesn't really have correcting ability and has no cleaners, more of an acrylic gloss enchancer that again is more durable then a normal glaze but really adds great wettness and depth .

It's my understanding that glazes are applied before your wax or sealant to enhance the wet look. Like Surfer said they all seem to be a little different. I'm using XMT Glaze. It says that it is a gentle cleaning polish and wax in one. It says that it will remove light haze and fine swirls. It does this and lays down a layer of high gloss carnauba wax. Probably a light coat. I plan to follow up with my paste wax.

ClearKote RMG and Pinnacle XMT glaze are some of the best glazes out there.

Interesting stuff. Most of the swirls are out of the truck, I just recently redid the doors. But I already added a nice layer of sealant on there and am going to put down another one before finishing up with NB. Sounds like the glaze will be for next time...

There are some new tech glazes out now that are not oil based..but acrylic and ureathane based..they work very good..they not only fill lite marring..they last longer since they do harden like a sealant does..and do not wash out as fast from washing...some have used these type glazes under zaino with no adverse effects to bonding since they are not oil or wax based....
Just some info to pass on

I think Meg #7 is heavy in oils and has some fillers. I have it to use when I work with single stage paint. I have heard that Meg. is about the best to use on SS paint. I also like the Wet Glaze mentioned by Surfer b/c it doesn't have fillers and makes the surface look wet. It works well with a sealant. I may try the xmt glaze since it has nuba if I am just going to use wax as the lsp.
