Hey there everyone, well the daily driver has been polished using Mz IP and Mz FP and the results came out great (I topped with a sealant and carnauba). I plan on polishing the car about twice a year but in between that the daily will receive its weekly wash. Now we all know that swirls are inevitable and I was wondering if anyone knew of a long term glaze that would fill in the minor swirl marks left behind from daily driving/weekly washing? I know glazes are usually meant for show car purposes only and are known degrade only after a few hours of application. So again does anyone know of a filler type polish/wax/glaze that can be used on daily drivers that would work in junction if topped with a sealant/carnauba?

I know another problem is that sealants usually need a clean surface to bind to so would the proper way be polish, sealant,glaze type filler, then carnauba? But i have heard of carnaubas streaking if a glaze is used as a base layer..

 

I use a glaze, then a synth, then carnuba. I don't think there is a long term glaze though.

 

carbrite - phaze glaze

 

No such animal as a glaze that lasts a long time.

 

what kind of glaze,sealant and carnauba do you use? Do you ever get streaking?? I thought sealant needed a very clean grippy surface to bind to that had no oils?

 

When you say you are using a synth over the glaze is it a sealent or could you use Klasse AIO?. Would the AIO remove the glaze?
I was thinking of glaze Aio than sealant. Would this work?

 

Why use a glaze and just hide your problems....Use a good polishing product like menzerna p106ff and REMOVE your problem. When i was not well informed i would think glaze was "protecting" the car so well and helping wax adhere better tot he paint. I now strip everything off the car with 50/50 alcohol water mixture after polishing, then put on my wax that i know is sticking to the actual paint, not some oil/grease crap from a glaze.

i think that it depends on the color of your car also- i get the best results with a black car with minor swirls with the glaze... when they are starting to show up, but not enough that i want to do a full removal.
otherwise, as above, removal is the best choice.
