| Re: Glazes are for what????
There are several important issues to consider with a glaze, first is the definition versus the actual product. Some detailing terms like polish and glaze are now used for marketing purposes and to standout amongst their peers. (ie. Wolfgang Finishing Glaze, not a glaze but a finishing polish)
My take is that pure glazes were popular in the past for two reasons, one is their ability to add significant wetness and gloss and the other for temporary filling or hiding of swirls. These were often used at car shows and though had no protection often showed the best of a finish for judging and gone by first wash. They could be topped with a carnuaba wax for longer durability as desired, but often looked best without it.
There are indeed newer glazes (think Poorboys) that work with sealants and still offer the benefits of additional gloss and wetting agents and yet still allow paint sealant to cure and bond. So these products "could" be considered valuable as part of detailing but not a mandatory step.
