#80 Speed Glaze straight to wax?

Absolutely! Just make sure you work it long enough to break down the diminishing abrasives.



We (as in Aurora40 and I) went from #80 to NXT on this 350Z:

The professional detailer that mentored me before I found Autopia recommeded I try Speed Glaze instead of #7 on my black M3. My only concern is how often I can safely use this product as it is a #4 on the abrasiveness scale. I like to polish/glaze and wax my Jet Black M3 every 6-8 weeks.
 
I do it all the time, great looking with anything on top.

Well, you get the idea. I love to go from #80 to my LSP. :D
 
I go straight to a LSP all the time after #80. However, for a really sick look, if you're skilled with a rotary, try #3 Machine Glaze and then a carnuaba!



If not, try Hand Polish or if you like #7 then your LSP.

I sure hope this doesn't sound bitchy, but you really shouldn't have to polish (as in abrasives) that often. You might want to refine your wash/dry technique a little if you have marring to deal with that frequently.



I agree that #80 might be a bit strong for such frequent use, maybe you oughta try #81 instead if all you need is something to add a little pizzaz before you wax. But if you're dealing with marring, then it's a tough call, as you need something abrasive (but then you're back to "is this too much/often..").



Or you could switch to 1Z's Metallic Polish. It has *mild* abrasives, but they are *SO* mild that frequent use just isn't an issue.
 
Splichy-just FYI, Machine Glaze #3 works great by hand (and I am sure, PC) too. I used that for years until #81 came out.



ebpcivicsi-Dude! Nice work, you even made a Malibu look great!
