What happens when a wax last longer then the glaze underneath?

Hey guys, I've been considering glazes recently and wanted to know what would happen in a combo such as this:



Product X or Megs 80 followed by Collonite Liquid Wax?



I'm assuming the liquid wax will last longer then either glaze. So will the wax just disintegrate away as the glaze's durability gives way?
 
Not too sure myself, but I would think since the glaze would be sealed in by the wax, durability won't be going anywheres anytime soon. Actually I guess you would need to know how the two bond together? Once again, not really too sure..
 
Dont know but I dont think the glaze would break down if it was protected by a wax. But if it did, the wax would probably fall off.
 
you wax will remove some of the glaze when you apply it. you really just end up with a heterogeneous mix of stuff in the end. You will probably just get something with a durabilty more than the glaze, but less than the wax alone
 
yeah I was wondering about this. I put on RMG, then later I was putting on 476s with the PC and thinking about how the RMG would hold up under all that pad rubbing over the surface... does it hold up at all ?
 
#80 is more of a polish than a glaze. Anyhow, if you seal the glaze in with your wax/sealant, I'm pretty sure the glaze won't be affected until your LSP gets degraded.
 
I've used various old-school glazes under carnaubas and it's generally just not a problem.



The waxes usually don't hold up *quite* as long as on a "clean" finish, but you'll usually never notice any difference. Collinite over Meg's glazes lasts a long, long time. The 845 compromises the glazes a tiny bit more than some other LSPs, as per LouisanaJeeper's post, but as long as you're not really aggressive about the wax application technique I don't think you'll have any problems at all; I never have.



Note that Meg's glazes (including the stuff #80 leaves behind) are designed to be used prior to an LSP application; this whole subject is factored in and Meg's is adamant that it's not a problem. Consider the Deep Crystal 3-step process as a perfect example.
 
I tried Danase Wet Glaze under a wax and sealer and then topping a wax and sealer - that product looks better to me -if it's the topper.

I too have found better results with DWG using this method. Instead of using DWG under a sealant or wax, when I want that extra shine/pop I apply a layer of DWG over top with a foam app. It looks great and is so quick and easy I frequently do it after washes. I have had great results topping 1000P with DWG.
 
Glad to know I ain't the only one that likes DWG as a final layer. I'm sitting here, wired to the gills - because of my diet I only eat Special K at night, but I can have COFFEE!!! OK, I'm going to put a coat of Wheel Wax on the van's rims.
