That is the order that I would use. Like Ray stated above, Brilliant Glaze helps hide minor imperfections through the use of fillers. If the glaze is applied on top of a sealant or wax, then these fillers cannot fill the imperfections, since the imperfections are covered by the sealant or wax. For the longest lasting protection, the sealant should be applied first. Here's some more info on why you would want to use the sealant first, and when you might want to apply the glaze first. Sealant bonds best to clean paint, because the acrylic resins in the sealant need a clean surface to get the best bond, to provide the longest protection. Using glaze first leaves fillers on the surface, preventing a full bond on the sealant. The sealant will not last near as long being applied on the top of the glaze, perhaps only a few weeks, not the normal 6 month lifespan that the sealant can provide. Its all about the science of how the sealant gets its longer duration of protection, by bonding to the paint. Just like in different types of painting, whatever you put on the top layer is only as good as what's under it. You could have a $100 per gallon epoxy paint that will last 30 years, but if you do not prep the surface right or use a $5 per gallon primer under it, that expensive epoxy paint is likely going to peel off in under a year. You can apply glaze before sealant, nothing bad will immediately happen, but the sealant won't last as long because it does not bond to the glaze. Its a trade-off, if you have imperfections that you want to fill, you can apply glaze first. If you are only using glaze for the shine, then put it on after the sealant so you get the longest protection from the sealant. In summary, if your goal is to use the glaze to hide imperfections or to add more gloss, and you want it to last a little longer than normal, apply it first and then add a layer of sealant or wax on top to make it last a little longer than if it were by itself. However, if your goal is to have a long lasting layer of protection by using the sealant, apply it first to bare, clean paint, and then add the glaze on top for a little more shine.  Here's a quote from the FAQ:

Those are the Premium Dilution Bottles, in which I replaced the original labels with the labels from the 32oz versions that used to be available. They used to have many products available in 32oz bottles, which were the same as this one:

New H20 Guard & Gloss????
TheWolf replied to enoch7fa's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
The new version contains SIO2, in addition to the acrylic sealant. It is also my understanding that it is easier to apply when using the Dry Method (ie dry paint, wet towel). It will be interesting to hear feedback once this product gets out there, to see if the standard applictation method is also easier to apply without streaking, which was a complaint some users had. I think the original version is a stellar product, but some people don't use it because they could never get the application technique figured out. -
New H20 Guard & Gloss????
TheWolf replied to enoch7fa's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
Yes, it is water-activated. When applied to a dry surface, you would use a wet towel for spreading the product, as the video shows when applying to the door jambs. -
Yes, thank you!
