Glaze before Coating?

[PiPUK]

DJ Mayo says glaze before coatings is a bad idea, BUT....glaze (EZ Crème) is a great idea before a sealant.

He indicates that EZ Crème has lots of cleaners in it, which I did not know.

I just know that it looks great underneath Wolfgang Deep Gloss paint Sealant. I have not seen any decrease in the longevity of the WGDGPS when used w/ EZ

'Sealants' tend to be different and less sensitive. In practice, sealants generally contains some or all of the same ingredients you find in glazes, plus something extra. I have long questioned people glazing and sealing. To my mind, if you need to do this, your sealant just isn't the best one for you.

You also have to keep in mind that not all glazes are actually glazes at all. There are numerous examples which are more like what you would expect from a sealant.

Coatings are another matter entirely.

depends on what coating and glaze. You can use Wolf's Chemicals Shine & Glaze before applying Hard body as it leaves a good base for it.

Hard body is not really like most other 'coatings'.

I think that, even after polishing, EZ Glaze adds a little something, before WGDGPS.

It only takes me 30 minutes to apply and wipe off.

Just an opinion.

Glaze after coating would work

Yes, it would.

I would be curious to see what it might add and how long it would last when the EZ Crème wasn't "Locked In" by the sealant

Glaze after coating would work

Only after proper curing has occurred. Which varies depending upon the coating.

Hi Jason...

Would you consider the time it takes for the: proper curing of a 'Coating'...
to lie somewhere within the realm of its: total curing's time frame?

Thanks in advance for your viewpoints.

Yes total cure time. At least that's what I think your getting at here.

So for example Opti-coat pro is chemical resistant after 24 hrs but the total curing time (or hardening) is 30 days. So, I would wait for the 30 days to be up before "glazing" it. As there is going to be some friction and abrasion with a glaze, even if it's minimal.

That's along the lines that I was also thinking:
Let the 'Coatings' completely cure!!...(Before they start getting "touched").

The only thing I'd use before a coating would be a coating specific primer.

Aren't those "specific primers" just another way of saying that they're some 'Coating'-Brand's specific polishes?
