Hello, im currently looking for an inbetween product between finish polishing and applying a sealant

1. Is Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion basically the same as Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer in terms of usage and purpose? These are both considered Pre-wax Cleaners right? And if so which one is better?

2. With this statement "Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0 is a fusion of our original Finishing Glaze formula and Menzerna’s Nano Polish. " Is Wolfgang Finishing Glaze still considered a glaze? or a finishing polish? OR both finishing polish and glazing step rolled into one?

3. With this statement "Paintwork Cleansing Lotion uses a combination of gloss-enhancing oils and micro-fine fillers to polish your car without abrasives." and this one as well "This is a mild polish best suited for newer vehicles or vehicles with good paint condition." Does Pinnacle Cleansing Lotion contain any abrasives as its medium as a cleaner? im asking because of the mention of the word polish

4. If im going to consider using WG Paintwork Polish Enhancer and Finishing Glaze, which ones goes in first?

Thanks in advance, i know its a lot of questions but i tried to put out all the questions in my head so that people could get a better understanding of where im going, i'll be ordering the gallons sizes of pre-wax cleaner soon
 
I use prewax cleaners (Wolfgang, Pinnacle or P21S) on nice finishes when I dont want to polish paint. It cleans and preps surface for sealant and removes old wax/sealant.

Now if you are looking for more gloss, then use a sealant compatible glaze like Poorboys BlackHole prior to the sealant. Its not necessarily a huge difference but a choice in older sealants that arent quite as glossy as say the newer DP Polyseal or Menzerna Powerlock.
 
Actually im thinking about whether to get P21s, Pinnacle or WG pre-wax cleaners, and i guess i just want to know which product you guys think is best, im more inclined towards WG and Pinnacle since the pre-wax cleaners are available in gallon sizes thats why i opted to remove p21s but i know and i've used p21s and its really great

so between WG and pinnacle what would you prefer? i guess im looking for a product to really allow the sealant to bond better to the paint, i've heard somewhere that Pinnacle is better if you're putting a wax on top and WG is better for putting a sealant on top, any comments?

I've already tried PB blackhole, i've been getting great results with it but i guess it sometimes depends on the paint as well, i have this dark blue BMW that sort of doesn't respond that well with PB blackhole so im looking for something that might be better than PB blackhole or something equal it, you think WG finishing glaze can do the trick? any other glazes you can recommend? tried XMT but i like PB blackhole better, looking for something better perhaps?
 
up?

anyone thats tried both? any comments which one is better?

and so WG finishing glaze would be categorized as a finish polish right?

I have used Dodo Lime Prime Lite, Wolfgang PPE, & Pinnacle PCL all with the same results, a clean surface ready for wax or sealant. From my understanding the WG Finishing Glaze is like a finishing polish. There is a polish chart floating around somewhere showing each polish and their cutting ability, maybe someone can attach it here?
 
1. Yes both the same

2. It is basically the same as menzerna 106FA

3. Both the wolfgang and pinnacle don't contain abrasives. Dodo lime prime(not the lite, reg) does contain them and will remove lite imperfections.

4. If you use the Wolfgang finishing glaze there is no need to use the paint cleanser.
