If you were to add a glaze to a detail, can you glaze over existing wax ?
Would BF Crystal Seal be a good thing to top it off with to seal in the expected shine ?

To start a glaze is used after the polishing is done. It adds POP to the paint and with some glazes they have fillers and can fill in any minor marring. Then you seal and wax or both.

If you want to add a glaze to the top of a wax or sealant it should pose as no issue. I`ve done it with PB BH many times, but this was only to get a wetter look, just remember it adds no more protection it`s all about appearance.

And, to add to the perfect response above, a Glaze is very temporary, and will most likely be gone by the next carwash or sooner..
Back in day, Meguiars Nbr-7 was the Glaze of choice for about everyone on the show car circuit, to dial in those beautiful Acrylic Lacquer and Enamel Paint jobs..

That and Meg Mirror Glaze, back in those days. I use to work those all by hand and what a job that was!
