Glaze

gsm29742 · 03-10-2007, 11:17 PM

Hi I've got the Megs no7 show car glaze but am not sure when to apply it. 1st I will polish with menz but after that i'm wodering whether I should glaze, jetseal then wax or polish, jetseal, glaze then wax? I'm worried if I glaze 1st the jetseal will not bond or if I glaze after will it take the jetseal off as it says it's a pure polish on the bottle!

Thanks

I would glaze immediately before you wax as the glaze has no protective functions whatsoever.

I take it the Megs #80 glaze is a light cutting compound?

I think you'll find that it has very little, if any abrasive ability.

A glaze is purely an aesthetic product that contains a very, very light abrasive (Kaolin) to lightly burnish the surface. A glaze provides gloss but very little protection; it's often referred to as Show Glaze because glazes tend to create a "wet-look" (jetting) shine they have come to be used by enthusiasts to maximize shine and gloss on concourse show cars, historic and exotic vehicles.

#80 does actually have, despite its name, a notable cutting ability. Meguiars rate it as having a cut of 4/10 on their cutting scale. Personally, I would say that it has a cut equivalent to that of Menzerna PO016FF Final Finish, perhaps a little more if anything. It does contain glaze oils in it, which is why Meguiars named it such I would imagine, but it does have a notable cut to it as well...

I did a side by side comparison yesterday with IP3.02 and Megs 80, and I can agree with Dave's comments. It did have some cut to it, and did seem about on par with FF.

No one else has said it but I thought it was sposed to be glaze - jetseal - wax?

Yes, glaze a bare surface (post cleaner if need be) then seal, then wax.
