3M Imperial Hand Glaze

What is everyone`s opinion on 3M Imperial Hand Glaze? I`m a rookie to detailing and my father-in-law recommended this.

Thoughts?

It`s an excellent FILLING glaze but don`t expect it to play well with a lot of sealants. I use it a lot on show cars that just need a show shine for a day or two and I top it with a Carnauba Paste Wax.

Back when I was just a lurker here (circa 2000 or so) IHG topped with Blitz brand wax was the hot combo. IHG isn`t bad for use on fresh repaints, or for a quickie job like what Danase mentioned, but IMO it`s generally used by people who don`t/won`t/can`t correct problems instead of just hiding them (and regulars here know that I`m not strictly opposed to concealing so don`t take that the wrong way).

We`ve come a long way since then....or have we? :think:

not an easy product to work this. Make sure you remove it soon enough (before it dries completely)

That`s my recollection. I have an industrial sized bottle buried in the back of the detailing cabinet.

You for sure have to apply it as thin as possible. LOL It can be a pain to get off.

Heh heh, yeah...there`s some food for though, huh? I`ll be interested to see how today`s perfectly corrected paintjobs are holding up in about five or ten years
