Glazes

**imported_Intel486** · 12-10-2002, 08:38 PM

What glazes have people tried and liked?

I`m familiar with 3m`s Hand Glaze but have used it and don`t really like it.

I`ve read cvcaelen`s experience w/ 3m`s finishing glaze and that makes me what to try it. I need to order some. Does anyone know a cheap place to order a bottle of it?

What other glazes are on the market? I would like to be real glazes. i.e. they are meant to add brillance to the finish and hid imperfections. Don`t really want them to have abrasives.

#7 is great. It adds a lot of gloss. Sometimes it can be hard to buff off, but is otherwise pretty easy to use. It hides swirls like a champ. I think mainly it`s when I use too much that it`s hard to buff.

What is the durability like?

I used to use One Grand Omega Glaze and absolutely loved it. With a coat of Blitz on top it was a terrific combo. I can only imagine what Omega Glaze and Souveran looks like.

2days with out a wax above it, maybee less if its real hot or bright sunshine, i used it on my black 4runner and toped it with mothers , lasted about 2-3 weeks. but i think it was b/c the mothers was gone and the #7 evaporated i think under some 26 or klasse it would last as long as the wax

I tried it under liquid #26 and it seemed to last as long as the wax.

I found that taking it off was easiest with two separate MFs.

And the stuff was amazing looking. :up

TAxlady, are you saying that the glaze lasted as long as #26? If so that is great.

NYREP1, I thought that AIO would remove it somewhat?

I like Mother`s Sealer/Glaze the best. I`ve tried 3M IHG, Meguiar`s Hand Polish & Meguiar`s #7....if anyone is discerning enough to notice a difference in the shine between any of these products, my hat truly goes off to them. While they all produce a fantastic shine, I like Mother`s the best because it`s the easiest to use.....by far. The stuff wipes almost as easily as P21S.

**jcattarulla** · 12-11-2002, 04:45 PM

I second that emotion: #7. I apply it with a PC. Then I use P21S wax by hand. Awesome results.

Another vote for Mother`s. I like the shine on #7, but it seems hit and miss to not have streaks. Mother`s is much easier to use. As a matter of fact, I am going to go back to it, even though I have a full bottle of #7. I just find that I am reluctant to use it because I am worried about streaking, particularly on dark cars.

mothers sealer and glaze gets my vote!!!!!!

**imported_2wheelsx2** · 12-11-2002, 07:27 PM

ive used the mother also, and its much easier to use, and just as reflective but did not seem to hide the swirls as good to me, but this was before my autopia days. i was still obsesive but did not have as high or exacting standards

**Nagchampa** · 12-11-2002, 07:36 PM

I like the Mothers also. Does a great job for a low price!

**jcattarulla** · 12-11-2002, 07:47 PM

ok, this weekend i will do a 50/50 split on my trunk lid, as a comparison. will upload photos and experience re. ease. mothers is sounding good, though i`ve been a #9er.
