Glanz Wax fully compatible with carnauba waxes?

I am assuming that since the Einzett polishes contain carnauba, that Glanz Wax can be used on top of a carnauba? Is this correct? If I have some Souveran on the car, I could top it with Glanz Wax if I wanted some more durable protection or whatever? The Glanz Wax would apply fine and all?
 
No! :o



1Z polishes don't contain carnuba, and, if you apply GW over a carnuba, either it'll strip it and bond or it wont bond at all.

Actually, this is completely incorrect. All 1Z polishes contain a degree of premium white carnauba. Extra/Ultra has the least while Metallic Polish & Wax and Express have a high amount.



And 'no', there are no bonding issues with Glanz Wax and carnauba. At Einszett, we don't toss the word 'bonding' around :)



'Yes', the solvents in Glanz Wax will remove a majority of carnauba but you are replacing it with a more durable protective layer. If you are worried it will take away the depth and gloss that the polish produced then I can tell you that this is not the case. Both depth and gloss will still remain.



Something to consider: if you were to put Glanz Wax in a spray bottle and spray it on the surface, this would allow the solvents in GW to evaporate and simply leave the wax behind. Then you would just buff off the excess wax. This is just a thought. I have no lab results demonstrating that this would leave the synthetic wax of GW on without removing any carnauba. Just sounds like it might be a solution.

Thanks Mike. I am not really trying to get the beauty of Souveran and the durability of Glanz. I just want to make sure that carnauba on the car isn't a factor for using Glanz.



If I've used Souveran and the car is still imacculate and doesn't need polishing, and it's getting to be winter and I want more durability, or a road trip, or I'm gonna be lazy, or whatever, it's nice to know I can just toss on some Glanz.



However I end up using it, it will be very convenient that I can use it on other products without having to polish first. This will make it a very useful/versatile tool in my toolbox. Thanks! :)
 
Mike,



I made the mistake of buffing off in a hurry and some streaking ocurred due to my carelessness. Since gw is a solvent, would it remove the streaks if I were to reapply the glanz to the affected areas? Thank you sir.

Jet, streaking usually occurs because you applied too much or an uneven amount. Reapplying will even things out and should take care of the streaking. :up

Mike--is this a disadvantage or an advantage? Is the solvent mixed into the GW as a delivery agent for the wax or is it there for a cleaning property for the GW to properly adhere to the paint's surface? I used it last night with a spray bottle and foam applicator and was delighted with the results. Thus, can I assume that w/o solvents the durability will be decreased? It certainly didn't handicap me in terms of application. Thanks for the continued communication.
 
Solvents are strictly a delivery agent aka "carrier". Also makes application really easy.



Durablility is strictly in the wax not in the solvents that carry it on to the paintwork.

So you are saying to keep doing what I'm doin' if it works for me? Like I had said, it worked great and the application was easier than that of S100 (the previous benchmark of easy app for me).

*edit* OR if the solvents are the delivery agent and they are gone, can the wax be "delivered" to the applicator from the bottle?

"Yes" to both questions. BUT, be sure to shake the can well before applying or pouring into the spray bottle so that the wax is mixed well in the solution.
