martybhoy Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 So I've been messing around again with the new products I got as a gift at Christmas. Let me know what you think? Tips on techniques etc all welcome. Quote
ilogikal1 Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 My only tip for your technique is that the pad doesn't look to be quite flat on the surface (looks like you're applying more pressure on the front of the machine than the back there), so maybe just something to be conscious of next time you're using it. I am a big fan of AF Ultra Glaze, easily one of the best glazes on the market in my opinion. 1 Quote

Thanks 👠Yeah I have been looking for something that would give the paint a nice depth to the black and it seems to be doing the job. I only tested it on the bootlid for this vid. Does a glaze require a sealant on top? I finished off with a quick coat but I've never used a glaze before to be sure. Quote

I finished off with a quick coat but I've never used a glaze before to be sure. It does really, yes. Ultra Glaze will just wash off it's not topped with an LSP. Being an oily glaze it works best being topped with a wax, but some sealants will also work (albeit resulting in a slightly reduced durability compared to applying to bare paint). The only exception being solvent heavy sealants, as the solvents will strip the underlying glaze. 1 Quote

It's quite an addictive hobby when you get started and there's clearly tonnes to learn. 1 Quote
Alpinaman Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Looks great....... The best glaze for dark cars i have used is 50 cal show glaze...Does need a LSP to seal the glaze in though. Worth a go if you like using glaze,its cheap enough that i always keep it in... Quote
