Default Glaze

I used Glaze for the first time. After polishing, I applied a coat of Menzerna Glaze before the sealant and ... Wow! What a difference it made. I wonder how often can I apply Glaze? Can I apply Glaze everytime before sealant or Carnauba wax?

Thanks,
Tim

tim-
you can but i wouldnt...
glazes have the least amount of polish of any of the polishes and are not very aggressive. they still do have some grit-
if you dont wax every time you prob could glaze- but again, i think that you shouldnt really need to.
glazes are great before a car show (cause they have oils and give a wet look), or for newbes (easiest of the polishes to use)- beyond that, its my opinion that a good polish and wax followed by proper care for the paint will minimize swirls and the need for glazes and/or polishes.

which glaze are you using?

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't you NOT supposed to put a glaze down before a sealnt because the sealant needs to bond directly to the piant?

I thought glazes were for before wax.

in that ad, they dont say that i have a synthetic cause they dont sell it!!

i understand your concern, but can tell you from experience that it works with all synthetics that i have tried-
