I guess
it because glaze really did help single stage paints, and they never grew out of it. Not understanding the base coat clear coat system.
I told them I don't glaze it's pointless.
It's not polishing and not protecting it's a waste of time to me, unless you don't have alot of time to polish and need to hide some defects, other then that :thumbdown:

I was talking about people that don't understand the difference, and just used the word glaze, cause it sounds cool!
So you guess...?
Thanks, I guess, for trying to help.
But that was yesterday.
How can you better embarrass yourself today?

How did I embarrass my self?
There was no reason to take offense in what I said.
The majority of People from the old school rotary and rubbing compound Era have not adapted to times, and understand how everything works today.
My father is one of them, he still loves, to glaze him self, he prefers palm olive dish soap then any car shampoo on planet earth. He thinks you can one step a car with 3M compound and a rotary.
And I found this to be with alot of the guys he went to school with, nothing wrong with being the reason I was referring to age.
Was because of that particular time Era, we're there wasn't alot of products offered and people never adapted or leanred, the difference between
compound, polish, glaze, wax, sealant.
Witch is fine for the everyday person who doesn't care about car care, but guys that own muscle cars, and attend car shows, they all should know, the difference

How in the world have I missed this thread for 3 weeks? DUH!
Just a question...If a "polish/wax" is considered a jeweling wax, wouldn't "Meguiar's NXT2 Wax" fall into that category?

I've used a LOT of NXT in my life. NXT Tech Wax was the idea for an all synthetic wax that I included in the report I wrote in 2003 for Meguiar's management titled,
The Zaino Case Study
It was a product intended (by me) to compete head to head with Zaino Z2
The idea was accepted only instead of a non-cleaning pure synthetic it was decided to give it some very light cleaning ability because it would be marketed at the masses and as most of us understand, the masses drive daily drivers and because the paint on daily drivers becomes stained over time, any wax sold at the retail level for the masses must offers some type of cleaning ability or the masses won't see a "difference" from before to after.
While NXT does offers some light cleaning in my experience it doesn't work like an ultra fine cut polish which is how McKee's 37 Jeweling Wax works. I know I wouldn't use NXT Tech Wax to try to jewel paint nor would I try to use it as a replacement for McKee's 37 Jeweling Wax.
Everyone's mileage may vary.

Re: Jeweling Wax - Definition
Thanx Mike! I understand what you mean.
I kinda remember some of the 'Zaino War' from 'back then', but being on a dial-up in those days I never had a lot of time to read and digest it all. Is that case study available to read nowadays?
Thanx again...

McKee's 360 and jeweling wax are 2 different products.
360 is going to have more cut and correction power, than jeweling wax, jeweling wax has a mild abrasive that you might find in a product like menzerna sf4500 but it also has a wax.
360 can be used as a stand alone peoduct, or a second step to go behind a compound process.
Jeweling wax is usually the 3rd step after typically to jewel paint you would have to compound, polish, jewel, then use wax or sealant, but with jeweling wax you can compound, polish, jewel and wax at the same time. Witch means you can skip a step and do the 3-4 steps all at once.
