Is glazing necessary?

[davidl351]

As the topic asks, is it necessary (or desired) that I glaze after I polish to rejuvenate the paint`s vigor? I`ve been reading that you can glaze, but don`t have to in order to get rid of implanted pollutants that inevitably get embedded into the paint. Can anyone provide some insight?



If I go with glazing, I`ll purchase DWG, since I`ve heard great things about them. My process will go like this:

- Wash/dry

- Optimum Poli-seal

- Wash/dry

- Glaze

- Wash/dry

- Optimum spray wax



Sound good?

Poli-Seal is a light polish and give the paint the same deep rich look that a quality glaze will. I don`t see any reason to wash after using Poli-Seal, it doesn`t dust. No need to wash if you glaze either, all you are doing is making extra work for yourself.



Wash

Clay if needed

Poli-Seal

OCW

Relax, watch a ballgame or something

I`m with Scott... that`s too much washing... I almost never wash even after some polishes let alone something like Poli-seal...



As for glazes, I use them on many clients` cars that have been poorly detailed in the past and I don`t want to take off any more paint, so I will yearly use a very light polish, then glaze to hide any of the lighter swirl marks and defects left over... after glaze and wax 85-90% perfect cars start looking flawless...
