Sure you can use all three at once.



1. Wash

2. Clay (if needed)

3. Meguiars #9 Swirl Mark Remover (if by hand, expect a workout)

4. 3M IHG

5. Wax with #26, more durable than Gold Class and doesn`t contain cleaners.

Thanks guys, the guy at the CMAX store, more or less said putting a wax over a glaze would be defeating the purpose?? i sugested the #26 over the glaze would just ensure a longer lasting finish.

Actually Meguiars recommends Gold CLass over #26 for new dark finishes.



I have a 2000 Ford Crown Vic (dark dark blue) and they told me to use Gold Class. I asked about #26 but they said the #26 is a fine product, but not suited for new dark finishes :confused:



#26 DOES contain:



18-25% petro distillates

10-15% naptha

I think this is a widely held misconception...I just hope on not on the `wrong` side of it.....I ve always believed glazes were like polishes without any abrasives....As such, they need wax or sealant over it as the protective step...Ive never seen Glazes listed in the protective step. Maybe the confusion stems from the idea that paint, when it is brand new, should not be waxed for a month or so...But during this time, it is ofen recommended that a product like IHG or other glazes may be used because it doesnt seal the paint, and allows it to breath...But I dont think this means that Glazes are subsitutes for waxes. If you just glaze you car, it is basically unprotected.
