Glazing if you still desire to do it would come after jewelling.

| | | in the XMT case .... yes ... because the glaze has some light abrasives like a finishing polish (so does RMG) . You would use a machine, finishing pad, and speed versus hand application in that case.
And yes in general, I find no need for a true glaze (meg 7) ... as a properly prepped finish and a good carnuaba or sealant offers plenty of gloss and/or wetness. |

They may contain cleaners, like this one, but primarily they serve as a moisturizer for the paint." Talking about XMT Glaze. |

| | | Scott which finishing polishes do you recommend for the final "jeweling" step? I've heard good things about the Menzerna line? Is this any better then XMT? |

| | | XMT 1 and Poorboys 1.0 work fine ... but Menzerna's 085 Ceramiclear polish (no longer avail US) was my absolute favorite. |

I was using Menzerna FPII, but I find XMT 1 has a little finer of a polish and is therefore more effective at jewelling the finish.

| | | Is Menzerna's PO85RD the same as PO106FF? or are they different products? |

| | | If you started with an orange pad and #3 XMT polish, you would then more than likely use #1 XMT to "finish" the polishing process. Would the #1 XMT polishing in this case be the jewling? Then of course follow with a LSP. | | |
