With that being said if the finish is correctly polished glaze or an lsp is not going to enhance the finish what so ever. The reason you use an lsp is to protect all your hard work and the finish.
    I agree 100% with you, I prefer to go straight to a wax after correction too. You make a very valid point, as I polished half my hood back when I was trying out black hole. The difference was noticeable, I could immediately see the difference between the IPA'ed side and the BH side; much clearer and less 'muddied.' This is why I don't use any products inbetween final polishing and waxing, I was merely describing an optional step.

    My point I guess is that glazes can create their own unique look, mostly a 'softer' tone to the paint. Not saying it is the best, so I will concede that my use of the word 'enhance' is not warranted.

    What about D* Wet Glaze? Can this not make a perfectly polished vehicle look deeper? I am going to use it on a portion of Skybaby when I get her all polished up and see for myself.

    Asphalt rocket said that the lsp main purpose is protection .
    I agree.
    Following that logic , the best lsp would be one that has the most durability and protection .
    Is that right?

    Once again this is a glaze, it does not matter who sells it. Plus that glaze is made by someone else that makes a few other glazes for different companies.

    If you vehicle sits out side, yes.

    I think the better question would be, how many does he have. I know I switch things up every once in a while.

    I certainly dont claim to be an expert. I have tried tseveral. MY favorite is Blackfire Wet Diamond. Durability is not an issue to me since I am a detailing addict. If it were, I would use Duragloss TPP 105 over PBA 610. I use this combo on my wheels with great results.

    I only have three sealants, I am a wax person, but out of the three I have the Blackfire Wet Diamond is best one to me. Easy on, easy off
