WG Finishing glaze under McKees coating?

[Dale1990]

Hi all,

I tried searching but the forum seems to be throwing a lot of errors/blank pages for results so I'm sorry if this is a duplicate/dumb question.

I just ordered the McKees coating kit to prep my car for winter but, I need to so some polishing first - nothing major, just some light swirls. One side of the car was repainted with a very soft clearcoat that gets scratches/swirls just looking at it much less washing/towel drying.

I was planning on hitting it with some Wolfgang Finishing Glaze with a white or red pad (low/no cut) on the last step before starting with the coating prep stuff. Will this cause a problem with the coating? A few threads mentioned that glazes leave behind oils/waxes/etc. that can interfere but others mentioned that Wolfgang doesn't and is really just a very mild polish but no mention of coatings.

Ideas?

Thanks! :cheers:

why not use a regular polish that does not have word glaze in it and wipe down with ipa before coat?

Primarily because I am trying to make use of what I have on-hand instead of going out and buying more stuff. I also have some WG swirl remover that I could use but it is probably a hair on the aggressive side for what I need.

You want a clean surface for the coating to adhere.

With that said, the WG glaze is advertised as not containing any fillers or waxes so it seems more of a polish than a traditional glaze. I'd try the WG glaze, clean with dilute ipa afterwards, then coat.

It is a finishing Polish, not a glaze. I think they should rename it as this confusion comes up frequently. As you can see from the product description, it contains no fillers...

Thanks, all!

Sounds like I should be fine as long as I give it a good wipe down before starting the coating process.
