Question from a newbe. Do I understand correctly to apply the finishing glaze, after the swirl remover, then the wax? That's what I did today and the result is beautiful - 3 yr old black S2000 garage queen. Am using Pinnance XMT and souveran wax. Was not sure if should apply the glaze then the wax, or wax and then the glaze. Would applying the glaze over the wax produce an even better shine? Or would it be better to apply several coats of wax ? thanks

What glaze are you using?
 
Its glaze and then wax. The glaze fills in the light marks that the buffing couldn't remove. Depending on the glaze, there may be a light amount of carnauba present for a little protection. You then top this with a wax of your choice, obviously made of carnauba and not a cleaner wax. If you use a glaze without carnuaba, which I suggest, you can then top it with a sealant and then a wax.

Good luck, ask more questions if they arise!
 
yep! You got it. :) most abrasive polish first, then finishing polish, then glaze then wax. :)

What glaze would be the superior out of the bunch that doesn't have carnuaba? I already have Klasse's sealant and some P21S, Meg's #16, and some NXT wax!

Red moose glaze (RMG) comes highly recommeded. I have some Menzerna glaze which is nice and rmg is ordered and on its way. i would go with rmg for a glaze..i have never heard a bad thing about it.
 
CG's EZ Creme Glaze is very good too and has a little acrylic protection.

I have heard of that one, but AG doesn't carry that! I want to get something from here since they have always taken care of me. Any other suggestions?
 
WG Finishing Glaze and the DP Finishing Glaze are both carnuaba-free. I use teh WG and its awesome!

Toping that with the WG DGPS is incredible, especially then topped with SSII or Souveran, OMG.
 
How is the Klasse Glaze compared to the others mentioned? I know all glazes have a cure time, but which waxes aren't compatible with Klasse Glaze?

Klasse's sealant glaze is actually a sealant. Glaze is one of those words that gets thrown around alot in detailing, but doesn't really have a set definition. Sometimes a glaze is a finishing polish, sometimes it's a paint cleaner, sometimes it's a beautification product that hides imperfections with oils and fillers and as you see in the case of Klasse, it can also be a sealant.

Glazes that are finishing polishes, paint cleaners or beautification products do not have cure times. The best thing is to read the label to see what the glaze will do for you and that will give you an indication of what it's composition is. If you are ever in doubt you can always contact the company and ask one of their representatives. :)

I hope this helps you. :)
