I think your thinking of Glaze.
Because my car is so new, I really dont feel I need to do it right now. My pait is in fab condition and when I polish it looks great so I dont feel I need the glaze on top to make it more blingy, I think its blingy anyway at the moment.
Dan and Guy will prob get cross with me for saying that though. :grin:
Oh yeah, a Glaze is what you apply after polishing, it brings out that shine in the polishing you just done and gives it that wetter look.

its all good Kev :cool:
100 wax points to you Kev for paying attention to our replys on the detailing forum :wink: :laugh:

100 wax points :kiss:

cheers guys been on your wax web site and seen a megs 3 step kit would that be any good as a starter kit to get used and learn how to detail :smiley:
pm you now mate.
-
It's not bad, but there are better products available. It's really not a bad place to start, however I guarantee you will want to replace the products before they run out, therefore you may be better buying excellent products to start with.
I'll get the catalogue sent out tomorrow for you :wink:
-
kk nice one mate if you could have a think aswell about a kit or group of products to get an let us know that would be great.
