1Z Glans Wax

[detailgod]

i also like that combo. i will actually be using it on a black sonota this weekend. last summer i used it on a blue sentra. when the owner walked out of her house to inspect the car she looked at it and went back into grab her sunglasses handed me payment and said the car was fine. she never got within 20 feet of the car and was impressed. 1Z is a hidden gem few people talk about. some may think i am crazy but when it comes time to impress i pick 1Z metallic polish and top it with glanz over souveran. that includes on black and red cars.

Is Glanz wax a sealant or do I need to use one first ?

1Z Einszett Glanz Wax Hart Glanz”


using a sealant is a personal choice. and i dont think Einszett makes a sealant so not surewhat would be compatiable with the Glanz. i have always used the Metallic Polish before using the Glanz. it is pretty much like any other wax. the better the surface is preped the better the finish results will be.

Glanz is a synthetic wax..no real carnauba in it...so you could call it a sealant in a way..but with a waxed look...its a very watery product...like Klasse ....

you can top another sealant with it or just use it straight from the can....or even top with a wax if you desired..

I was reading the descriptions for the 1z stuff. Is this correct?
1. Paint Polish - mild abrasive polish
2. metallic polishwax - wax with cleaners
3. Glanz - synthetic topper

This is 1z's 3 step process...

Glanz wax is real watery as memory serves. Looks nice however, like a sealant wax combo. The other hidden gem in that line was a product called WaxPolishSoft. I can no longer find my bottle ...

my previous Einszett contact suggests it is no longer available as it did NOT meet VOC's. Claims you must find the leftover stock ... I dunno.

How will you create holograms if you use a pad that has no cut and a product that has no abrasives? As long as the pad is primed, you use low speed and don't overwork the product(dust), I can't see a problem occuring. How would the abrasion be created?

However, when I first tried the 1Z Glanz Wax, I discovered this is one you don't want to apply by machine, but rather with a foam applicator. In my opinion is too watery to use a machine. I'm not saying it can't be done, it just seems like you'll be wasting a lot of product. That was just my impression. I would think once the pad becomes saturated that you would need less product as it should go a long way after that, but not sure how much product you would have used to get to that point using a buffer

I've also applied alot of LSP's (including 1Z) by machine (PC). Do you think a product that is thin/watery might spread better? If so, wouldn't this be a plus in a rotary application because the pad gets saturated easier and like you said, you'll just need to reapply it in smaller doses once this occurs.
