Title: Glazes, who uses?
Post by: scarr89 on 05 March 2013, 21:42

Anyone actually use a glaze after a machine/hand polish? I never have, but am considering getting one to get help fill in some of the swirls after a DA polish. I am no expert and only have a DA with a cutting and finishing compound...

Any recommendations?

Reflex silver mk4 BTW  :wink:

Britemax blackmax is a fantastic glaze on any colour, really slick finish and very quick and easy to apply and remove.

This is the only glaze I use now as it works on everything.

Chemical guys EZ creme glaze is an old favourite of mine and is still worth considering.

Poorboys black hole is very good on dark cars, I can only assume that white diamond is just as good on light cars

Just about to mention britemax black. Used it today on solid black which had heavy swirls. Totes amaze :cool:

Dodojuice Lime prime is another quick bling product with a mild cut and full of oils.

Poorboys black hole i find it stains dark paintwork. I prefer using white diamond on all colours myself. It's just more forgiving.

+1 for Poorboys Black Hole on my Carbon Grey paintwork, finished off with Collinite 845 Insulator Wax.

This car was done with White Diamond then waxed over the top. Was hand polished with Lime Prime before.
I think the shine is really good as it can be hard to get white cars to come up like this sometimes.

Prima amigo, Britemax Blackmax, or good old AG SRP for lighter coloured cars. The SRP is very filler heavy so I find it a bit dry and very dusty. Topped off with some Bilt Hamber Finis wax, Finiskare 1000p, or Collinite 476s for a job well done and months of protection!  :wink:
