| | | Would you top XMT Glaze?
I just got some XMT Glaze yesterday (thanks again Meghan!!), and I'm wondering if you guys top it, and if so, with what? I thought I would top it with Nattys Blue which I already have. I'll be testing it out on the red Cutlass in my signature.

| | Yes a glaze needs to be topped. It has oils and fillers to beautify the paint's surface and minimize the apperance of swirls while amping the shine, but iit will not last on it's own. I think the XMT finishing glaze and Souveran are a match made in heaven. On detail I just did of the black VW bug I used that combination.

| | | I am planning on using it, as well as all the other XMT products, this weekend and am also wondering what to top with. Most likely Natty's Blue, however, it's rumored that you can top with some sealants, like WG or BF, without effecting the durability. If I can get some positive feedback on putting one of these sealants on top, I may have to try it... |

| | | Maybe I'll throw a sealant in there as well to see how it works out: Glaze, then EX-P, then Nattys Blue.

| | | You could do that combo just keep in mind that most selant will not bond well over glazes. PB and UPP seem to be an excetion to the rule.

| | I wouldn't top XMT finishing glaze with a sealant. It contains carnauba and the sealant wouldn't be able to bond properly. If you're using the XMT glaze stick with a carnauba wax for your LSP.

Winter time and since you are in Michigan, I would pick durability for now. |

wystang you are correct ..sealants dont bond to glazes due to the oils in the glaze..I think WGs Glaze and sealant may be the exception.. Is this correct with WGs package?
