Am I doing this backwards??

rnoggle · 01-30-2009, 09:47 AM

After completely detailing my car with the PC and the machine products, I routinely wax it with the buttery wax. I like the shine I get as well as enjoy waxing by hand. After waxing, I apply a coat of Brilliant Spray Glaze.

My question is should the wax be applied before Brilliant Spray Glaze or after? I read on the forum here somewhere that others were using the glaze first, followed by the wax.

I love the results

Just wodering if I'm doing it right

Bob, If it's working for you it can't be wrong.

What I'm doing come spring is Fine Machine Polish and Machine Super Wax with the PC, then a coat of Brilliant Spray Glaze.
Then a week or two later, I plan on a coat or two of Buttery Wax. Planning to maintain the shine with Buttery Wax and use the Machine Super Wax every 6 months or so.

That's my plan.

That's pretty much exactly my plan. The car sits in the garage all winter. I plan to fully detail it every fall before I park it. I keep it covered in the garage, so I just need a light detail and wax in the spring and I'm ready to go. Then I'll maintin throughout the summer with the Buttery Wax.

That should work fine. I'd wait to hear from some of the detailing experts. They may have a better solution for you.

There are a bunch of new products in the works.

Who knows what will be released next...

I'd say that the wax should go down first.....followed on by the Brilliant Spray Glaze. Not so sure how well the wax would stick to the glaze.

I use Brilliant Spray Glaze after wax, not sure what would happen from using it first, Jason or Adam ?

I'm guessing it would be fine but usually a sealant first then a wax then a glaze

I do similar. PC, with Fine Machine Polish & Machine Super Wax then if time, I too enjoy applying the butter wax by hand, caressing her curves, getting into her tight places. Then at the show, or wherever, I'll do the Brilliant Spray Glaze just for extra POP.
