Polish vs Glazes? - DetailCity.org

00GREENMACHINE · 08-08-2005, 08:34 PM

What is the main difference in these. I am getting ready to order some pwc and was thinking about the RMG. I live the VM I have and have heard good things about the RGM. I also have a black car. But is a glaze a waste of money? Could you just from cleaner to glaze to LSP? I understand that a polish can remove some defects from the paint will a glaze? And lastly does anyone here perfer one over the other? Thanks

I have yet to find a AIO product like P-w-C that is any better for removing minor swirls and bring back luster......Most all the glazes that I have seen do not remove swirls. Megs has a machine glaze that claims to remove swrils but I have not used it.....I'd go straight to the sealant or paste wax after

Well, some glaze has filer, which I dont want.
Polisher, can remove light swirls/marring. Whereas most of glaze dont(I dont think RMG has either)

could you go from something like a DACP or PWC to a natty's or s100 etc?

Green

When I do cars I start with SWR if they need it most al do...then to P-w-C as the next step.....Depending on what I have talked with the customer I use a sealant, then top with paste wax......Most of the times its straight to wax for the cars that I do.

Polishes will clean and bring lustre to your paint and even some light swirl removal.
A glaze is ment to give your paint that wet look, that is generally done with oils and fillers, Meg's #7(show car glaze) is a prime example.

A glaze may give you bonding issues if you are planning to top with a sealant rather than with a carnuaba.

Good Luck,

polishes are products used to clean paint and at time may have abrasives in it used to level out swirls. depending on the harshness of the polish means u might have to follow it with a lighter polish that would remove the haze/micromarr left by the harsh polish.

glazes are products meant to be used on a new/just polished/clean surface. its intended use is basically for looks only and tend to have qualitys that hide swirls/scratches.
