What Glaze Does The Most Filling?

Of the many glazes that are available that are easy to use, which would be considered the one that would do more filling on very old single stage paint?

FWIW, Two glazes that I definitely don't have any interest in would be 3M Imperial Hand Glaze and Meguiar's #7. If you use them and are happy with them, then I am glad for you. I have tried both several times and am not interested in trying them again.

i would like to know this as well. i've used WG Glaze on non clear coat with a fine polish because a swirl remover coudn't be used.in the light the paints defects are very much noticable (swirls/marrring) am i expecting to much when using a glaze?

Thanks for the info about Mother's Sealer Glaze.
I doubt that I would have even thought about the Mothers line and that's unfortunate. They have a lot of good products at good prices and are available lots of places. I just tend to forget about them.

Sherman8r44:
Have you used the Sealer Glaze?

Any more suggestions?

Yes, quite a bit in fact. Used it before I found the "good stuff", and topped it with Mothers Carnauba. Hides most small swirls and spiderwebs as long as the carnauba on top is intact. It's very easy on, but it leaves a lot of chalky white residue that can be hard to take off--The oils aren't the hard part of removal. Cheap, easily available, and looks deep and wet.
 
I just used Clearcoat's RMG by hand on my b/c paint and it looks pretty good topped with Natty's Blue. The last time I used it was under EX and I was less then happy with the durability. Some of the swirls reappeared, and beading was poor after the first rain. I'm hoping that the carnauba holds up better. It's only been a few days so far. The car is red if it makes any difference.
 
I don't understand why you would glaze to remove swirls? If it just fills them in they will come back after a few washes? Why not just get rid of them using an SSR and a polisher?

A bit more manual labour but definitely worth it at the end! But if I'm wrong please correct me!
 
Bigs- "...filling on very old single stage paint..." sometimes you just need to fill rather than polish. The very old single stage paint is the reason for a filling glaze. Avoidance of polishing could be for many reasons, mainly though I would have to say it is because it is "...filling on very old single stage paint..." ;)

You are right on Scott. :yes:
While I think the Vette had some paintwork done before I bought it, it hasn't had anything but a lot of rubbing for the past 18 years that I have owned it.
Red, Acrylic Lacquer single stage paint isn't really noted for longevity. :stick

And yes Bigs, you are right about removing being the better choice in most instances.

Charles, Meg's NXT wax fills/hides pretty well. You might want to give that a shot if you have any around. I know.... it's not a glaze, but it might give you the results you're looking for.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I have used Meg's NXT wax a couple of times to try it out. It did a good job, but I decided to go back to my KAIO/UPP.
As I usually do with a product I think I will no longer be using, I gave it away. (I sure seem to give a lot of stuff away.)
The vehicle I used it on didn't have a swirl problem so I never checked out the NXT filling capabilities. The NXT didn't seem to be a long lasting product which didn't really bother me since I use a LSP so often. I did think it darkened the red on my wife's GTP and that was something I didn't care for. Some people would have liked it, she couldn't see any difference. :)

Menzerna sealing Wax is pretty good
heres a black mazda 6, was a car yard job and they needed it in a hurry so filling was the best/quickest/easiest option
white edge pad with sealing wax, topped with signature for that extra "pop"

Never heard of Menzerna sealing wax? Are you refering to Final Touch Glaze(FTG)? Or is the product you are refering to FMJ(Full Molecular Jacket)??
 
The Menzerna product Chris is referring to is APO63 Sealing Wax..........I havent seen it mentioned on the US forums.

Cheers
Dave.
