The Ultimate Glaze Showdown

Very impressive comparison. As we all know there is a lot of personal choice or preference for products that oft go beyond tests like this. But you did an excellent job at laying out solid pros and cons. Personally, I am not surprised that Poorboy's World got the highest marks
 
Would a glaze work over a coating? Just wondering if it could be used to give a coating some extra pop for special occasions.
 
A glaze will work over a coating...but the coating's properties are all but eliminated. For a car show or a short term "high"...go for it.
 
^ Thanks. I imagine the glaze will pretty much come off at the next washing, but might be a nice look for a few days.
 
As a new member, it was cool to see this thread bumped up to my "new posts" list. I just finished my spring cruise/show prep on my "survivor" El Camino. After a couple hand rubs and overnight soaks with Meg's #7 and a machine polish with Meg's #80 it always can use just one more step before application of an LSP. I had been using 3M foam pad glaze, or Meg's #3, but was always open for trying something new. Black Hole did a great job. Easy to use by either hand or machine with nice clarity of gloss. After 20+ years of rotary/wool pad polishing, the paint is so dangerously thin that maximum results with minimum abrasives is a welcome quality.
Thanks for the review!

Looks GREAT
 
Thanks for the showdown, Todd :)! So being that our glaze does have abrasives, it may leave micro-marring on some paints if the abrasives don't break down properly. I've always been a rotary guy, but when using a DA and it leaves marks like those, I switch to a stiffer pad and it does the trick. I'm not sure why it was difficult for you to remove though?? The only thing that I can think of is that it sort of "clumped up" in one spot and if it does that and starts to dry it could possibly be a bit difficult to remove. It works fast and sticks like poop on a diaper, so this may be what you've experienced.

I like the Prima polishes, never tried the amigo but now I feel I have too! Great review. I've used the finish and swirl. Both great!
