Will a Glaze make a wax last shorter - #81/NXT

[jsoto]

Hopefully, if the weather forcaster are calling it right, it`s going to hit above freezing this Saturday. It`s been awfully cold in New York.



It`s not warm enough for me to spend a couple of hours polishing however. I`m thinking about #81, followed up with NXT. Would the oils in #81 hinder/dilute the durability factor of a product such as NXT.



Granted, with polymers (SG or Z), it`s fact that any oil will hinder bonding......what is the story with NXT.

Yes, I too am curious about this fact.

I`ve never noticed any loss of durability using #26 (which does have polymers) over #81.



I don`t know what kind of testing Meguiars has done with #81 and NXT, but I would think they would try to make sure they were compatible.

Havn`t had any problems putting Nxt on #7, actually I preferred the look of Nxt on my car.

I doubt it. I would think that the cleaners in NXT will take care of the oils in #81. Plus, NXT itself is an oily product. Oils + oils (like #26) works.

Do you guys feel glazes make a quantifiable difference on well prepared surfaces when used under top shelf carnaubas like Souveran, P21S, etc? TIA

From what I’ve seen/heard NXT does not contain a cleaning agent

A glaze is an emulsion formulated from polymer resin and Carnauba wax that ‘fills in’ small paint surface scratches, abrasions and swirl marks, without removing them. Sometimes called Show Glaze as it’s a purely aesthetic product as it’s filling abilities usually wear off in a matter of days before the surface abrasions become visible again, washing the paint film surface will accelerate this process. After the application of a glaze the paint film surface will require a protective wax or sealant.



If the paint film surface is well prepped (little to no surface marring, swirls etc) you shouldn’t need a glaze, polish and a wax should give you what you’re looking for.

I don`t agree. While glazes do fill in "minor" imperfections, they also improve shine. In fact, glazes in general shine better than waxes. That is why people like Forrest only use glaze on his garage queens. It is also why glazes are so popular amongst the concours crowd....hence the name "show car glaze".



Also, I don`t think your quote above is too practical if one`s daily driver is black.
