Question regarding Glazing OVER Sealants

[JeffW]

OK, I've never really paid much attention to glazes, consequently now that I'm interesting in using I have some confusion.

It is my understanding that the glaze, in the traditional process, is after polishing and before wax/sealant. Some with cleaners or fillers, and some without.

However, can a glaze be put on top of the sealant (BF, UPP, BL) without degrading much the sealant, to give it a super wet look, however short term the glaze might last (days, weeks)?

For example, can CG Wet Mirror Finish Gloss Magnifier be used for this? what other products?

Thanks for any responses!

I only use a glaze want I don't want to polish or it doesn't need it. I find that some glazes to reduce the durability of a sealant some but not to the point where you need to apply it more often.

Some acrylic based glazes (one's w/o cleaners/abrasives) can be used over sealants (and carnuaba). I've used Wet Glaze 2.0 over both sealants and wax, and Wet Mirror Finish over sealants. Looking for gloss enhancement not long term durability.

i just purchased the CG wet mirror finish to use on my vehicle . I did all the pre prep work before using the WMT ,then on speed 2.5 on my Makita rotary witha red LC pad applied the WMT . The gloss and clarity of the finish was impressive ,I then applied collinite 845 on top ,looks real good.

Waxman... How much of a difference could you tell in appearance with Wet Mirror over the sealant? I'm not too concerned about durability of the glaze as long as the base sealant is retained well.

The manufacturer's instructions for each glaze specify how they can be used. That's a good thing since there is no uniform definition for a glaze that anyone uses.

Not sure what your point is? To read the instructions and not ask others experiences and opinions? That one should not deviate from the manuf instructions?

Hello the experts,

I have ordered Meguiars #7 glaze and a bit confused after reading that this product is not easy to remove.Is Someone already used this glaze? I don't have a garage and work outside. What is the best way to apply and remove it.My first idea was to apply it with my PC7424XP and use the same tool to remove it.Apparently this glaze contains oils and this is the reason why it is not easy to remove. Your answers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.:confused::confused:
