lol yes bob you are correct. :props:

I understand this can be an issue at times, but the OP didn't mention paint thickness as an issue..

I was touching on the core concept of how glazes are...

I would highly recommend finding and using a dry plush, long nap, and absorbent drying medium over a waffle weave. Preferably in a light color so you may be able to monitor your washing patterns.

The other issue to consider here is:

Why use a glaze to temporarily cover up defects when they can be removed all together with paint correction? :buffing:

It wont matter if this is for you or...

Glazes are meant for shine enhancement and defect filling.

Any cut involved is a byproduct of the pad its applied on.

Meguiars #40 is super sexy...

the OP is stressing user friendly...

DEFINITELY use Ultimate Compound then.... M101 is THE most agressive compound in the Meg's line.... that isnt necessarily something that will help someone...

GREAT LIST!!!

:iagree: but id replace d171 with D170- hyper dressing as it is a variable sheen and a GREAT darkening dressing for wheel wells and such..

Also i would add D143 Non Acid Wheel...

This isnt a 205 issue because 205 isnt used in a horizontal motion unless its applied by hand.

More than likely the culprit is one of the following:

A] Towel was not soft enough to address this...

I would spray it to the current portion of the towel that will be in contact with the paint.
