Is it okay to use glaze before coating?

[choijw2]

Is It okay to use glaze such as menzerna top finish machine glaze to hide minor imperfection before coating application?

coatings claim that, they fill up the minor imperfection to hide them, but not as much as glaze in my opinion.



I am planning to ceramic coating for the first time on my car.
and it does have minor swirls since its been almost a year since I polished it, but its mazda...... and mazda paints are extremely soft and thin
so my plan was to just jewel with SF3500 and glaze it before coating if possible.

The answer is "no".

In order for a paint coating to properly bond to the paint the paint must be free from any substance that would hinder the coating from bonding.

Glazes have polishing oils and these oils would interfere with the bonding of the coating.

Maybe try this product and follow with CQuartz:

CarPro Essence Xtreme Gloss Enhancer 250 ml

Thats what I though
and I IPA or coating prep will remove fillers so I guess it just waste time and money

Just a word of warning using a non-CarPro coating over Essence--Optimum, for instance, states unequivocally (well, at least in a forum response) that Essence is incompatible with Optimum coatings. Don't know what Gtechniq says.

There was a thread on Autopia about different coatings over Essence. I stopped following cause the original poster never made an update ;( Maybe that has changed lately.

Would this also be true for Wolfgang Finishing Glaze? I plan on applying Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Coating. The review & how to article recommends use of the Wolfgang Finishing Glaze before the perfect finish paint prep and coating application. I realize the paint prep is intended to remove the oils but wanted to make sure the Wolfgang glaze wont interfere with the coatings bond.
