First of all I would like to say hi to everyone here. I found this site through an automotive forum link and spent several days reading all I could about auto detailing :dblthumb2:
My question has to do with Pinnacles XMT finishing glaze. I purchaced the light swirl removal kit, following the instructions and using a PC7424XP. Working on a metalic black cherry '05 Miata with clear coat micro scratches. The fine and ultra fine swirl removers worked well, giving the paint a smooth glossy shine but the glaze seemed to put a slight haze best described as a silver tint to the finish. At first I wasn't sure but looking carfully under lights you could notice it. Next I hand applied some Mothers carnuba wax I had on hand and the results were much better. No reduction in shine and a bit more depth to the finish.
Has anyone else noticed this and if not, could it be something in my technique that might be causing this? Is the Glaze really nessisary or is the carnuba over the light swirl remover enough?
Other than that the results are fantastic, thanks to all that contribute to this site.
