Quick Sealant + Glaze / Wax

[ADL]

I looked and did not see this discussed. When using Quick Sealant, can Brilliant Glaze be applied under it and can Buttery Wax be applied over it like the Liquid Paint Sealant?

I would not do either and here is why:

 

The glaze will be gone after the first few hours in the hot sun or the first rain so your not gaining anything long term.  It will also cause the sealant or wax to degrade prematurely.  IMO glaze should only be used for car shows, photo sessions, or special occasions when you just want a little extra pop.  Putting it underneath a sealant or wax is counter-productive.

 

If your just doing it for a show, pop on some glaze and a nice carnuba wax and be done for the day but as part of your maintanence routine, definitely not.

Several members of the Adams team have said recently that putting Brilliant Glaze under their sealants will not cause the sealants to degrade or lose performance in any way. So going off of their input, you can put the Glaze under the sealant with no ill effects.

 

However, for years it has been said that sealants need to go on bare paint to perform the best, so I still go with what camaro2ssblack said above

Adam and the team has done testing and came to the conclusion that BG under sealants (QS or LPS) does not effect it's longevity.

Yes it can.  You can apply the BG before the QS or after, either way is fine.

 

Call me "old school" but I prefer to apply BG between a sealant and a wax.  Just my preference.

I have done the same with Adam's and non - Adam's products.  Never had any issues.

My plan when my liquid sealant arrives is polish--->sealant----->glaze----->Waxing*. *for me waxing is going to be optional.

I apply Glaze (Brilliant or others) on bare paint for their minor filling properties. I then "lock" the glaze down with sealant or wax. I've been doing this, this way for 35 years.

 

A couple/few years ago I did my own testing when the directions here were to apply sealant or wax to bare paint, glaze over top that and then top coat with wax to hold the glaze on. I did several test panels on my daily driver Dodge Magnum a couple different times. All test areas seemed to hold their product for the same length of time no matter what order they were applied.

 

My thought is, "how can the minor filling properties of the glaze better attach to the sealant or wax than to bare paint?" Just didn't make sense to me.
