Quick question, what does the glaze do? This stage is something I've never done, so don't know which products are Glazes. I also didn't realise you needed to seal and wax, thought it was one or the other but often did both usually a week apart trying different products. At the moment I wash, (sometimes clay), polish, and wax - would I get a better finish adding in a Glaze? Would the finish last longer with a sealant and wax?

Thanks

Glazes give a higher shine after the polish, a couple of good products are:

Poorboys Black Hole

or Prima Amigo

I have used both, but prefer the Prima

and then I use this sealant

and lastly finish off the car with a coat of this

Here is a couple of picture after all that has ben done

Britemax black max is a good glaze too. It has a little cut in it as well, great by DA polisher.
