Great guides! I have been spending a lot of time on here reading up on how things should be done but im still unsure of where after the wash/polish process does a glaze or sealant come in, do you use both or one or the other? or do you use them after you have waxed the car? really unsure in this area as nothing really puts it out there in plain! can anyone put it into a short simple guide?
