What do you like to use before your LSP

[DM101]

Wax route...... What do you like to use before your LSP? Car is all preped. Do you like to use a glaze such as RMG or Pin XMT finishing Glaze? Or a pure polish like Meguire`s #5, 7, 81? I have been using the pure polishes but wonder if the the glaze might be better before my HOPE for polycharged wax. THXS......

I`m starting to like glazes..... I had a sample of FK`s #300 Hand Poly Glaze, that looked rather nice.. I really want to try the RMG..

Depends on a few things, like how nice the finish is and what my plans are for the vehicle. I`ve sorta gotten away from the glaze-then-wax route and have been using various 1Z polishes for the final polishing step instead. These leave [stuff] behind, similar to glaze. But on dark colors where I`d appreciate the added richness (and on single stage), I`d still use a glaze. Probably #5 because it`s so user-friendly, but that`s just me, not saying there aren`t better choices these days.

Terminology police on alert :) I have always considered the Meguiar`s "pure polishes" to serve the same purpose as a "traditional" glaze. Of course, every vendor has to have their way of describing things...



Anyways, back to the original question, I generally use #7 before my wax of choice. I only abrasively polish once every two years so the filling aspect of glazes or "pure polishes" is key for me. I do like using sealants, but none really fill-in well and get horrible durability if layered on top of the aforementioned glazes. I do need to try z5-pro, NXT, and #21 though as I hear they have capable fillers.

Give #81 a shot someday. It is Meg. latest of pure polishes. Easy to work with. No dusting problems.

Clearkote VM (or Klasse AIO, but that`s not really a "glaze" type product) ..... hit all the trim with it at the same time. Trim is now done and paint is ready for LSP.

If you have already done the prep work, polishing out all your swirls, scratches, etc., why not hit it with a coat or Klasse AIO or Werkstatt Prime/prime +, apply a glaze like Meguiars #7/#5, and then your choice of a sealer or wax.



Short on experience, long on reading.

PS. Meguiars #5 and #7 are pure polishes and a glaze.

I have tried the sealant / wax route. I just don`t like the look of the Pin. Souveran afterwards. JMHO .... Meg. #21 has provided the best sealant/wax combo on "MY" car. I going to go straight to the Polycharged PS route since I wax at least once every 2 weeks. THXS ZOOM-----ZOOM ------

I like mixing VM&RMG then what ever wax I`m using.

[Way2SSlow]

If I am using OCW or any nuba, I`ll use Poli Seal. If I`m using SG, I`ll use AIO ofcourse. If I`m using PB`s EX, I use PwC. Any other sealant (EXP, Zaino, etc.) my final step (before sealing) is *usually* always PB Pro Polish. That`s generally how I do things, but it depends on what mood I am in. Some times I`ll see something I havent used in a while and I will just go with that....

[Scottwax]

Poli-Seal, Vanilla Moose or RMG, Meguairs #81 or #3, Prime or PB`s Polish w/Sealant if I am using Acrylic Jett.
