Few pics to showcase her swirlfree paint... sun shots on various panels.

This weekend, I did the following (after a wash and dry)

CG Glossworks Glaze via PC, 5" black CCS, speed 3.5, no pressure...

After 6 hours, applied CG Blacklight via PC, 5" black CCS, speed 4, no pressure...

After 8 hours, applied CG Pete's 53, by hand.

Immediately did a CG V7 final wipedown.

thanks.

































 
Nice reflections, colors look a little unnatural though, maybe you just have nice grass!
 
great car- but did you really to put on that stuff. Seems like an overkill and doesn't glaze just cover up and fill in?

Thanks. Technically with that logic, with just washing and boosting with detailer, I don't need to apply any further LSPs till the main one wears off in 2 to 3 months or more. But that's not why I do it. I do it for therapy, and for the sole purpose of major overkill lol.

Gloss works glaze is a good base for blacklight.... Why I used it
 
I think your product selection is spot on. Pics speak for themselves.
 
nice rustang! lol jk. i actually test drove one just like that M6, same color, gt premium, brembos etc. nice cars.
 
sorry for any misunderstanding, but is CG glaze an actual glaze? Or does it contain abrasives?

Because then wouldn't it just be hiding the swirls?

Given your post history and not being a noob, I'm guessing the glaze has abrasives...

Either way, it looks great!

I don't believe it has abrasives. It does, however, serve as the base wet-look, and a good 1st layer underneath blacklight. I'm sure it does have some filling ability, as does blacklight. If so, fine with me. And if not, no swirls to hide anyways. She's been swirl free since the day she came home to me 2 years ago...and will continue to be while I own her.

Oh... gotcha!

See I thought you were showcasing a correction's after photos. My mistake for not paying enough attention :props:
 
Very nice! Your level of meticulous maintenance is an inspiration.
 
I think glazes get a bum wrap. They do have a place especially the CG products. Why would anybody remove clearcoat when its unnecessary?

If you have already corrected the paint to a swirl free finish, or if you are fortunate enough to not have any swirls because you've managed to maintain the paint correctly, why in the world would you want to use any product that has abrasives in it?

I think some people need to work on a tint coated clearcoat as I have and see your pad turn red as you polish the paint. It will wake you up really fast when you see what you are actually removing coming off on your pad.

I love glazes and frankly a good glaze will actually enhance the gloss and shine over what polish-only can achieve. A properly glazed car has that extra something which unless you use one, you wouldn't understand.

The Glossworkz product does not wash off after two weeks, nor does BL or EZ creme for that matter. If you top the glaze with a good sealant or wax you are good to go. Some glazes are great cleaners as well. I always apply EZ creme after polish and before a sealant or wax without any IPA wipe down or similar wipe down products. It's the perfect post-polish, pre-LSP product.

If you think a glaze is a waste of time, then I guess removing clear coat unnecessarily makes sense.

Well said, fox... Thanks. I LOVE glazes. Actually, you know what... I haven't used my bottles of EZ creme, in a long time. They're in my secondary stash in basement lol. I need to dig those out. You prefer that over glossworkz?
 
Awesome man! Marilyn is looking as sexy as she always does.:dblthumb2:
