Should I glaze first or wax first?

[sjb89]

Hi guys, Any ideas on this from experience would be appreciated! I am doing my 2006 TRAILBLAZER SS in BLACK. I ordered BRILLIANT GLAZE AND AMERICANA WAX. What works better, Should i wax first,glaze after or Glaze first then wax. Will the wax LOCK IN the glaze shine?? What is the final step you found that works best? Anxious to hear your results. Thanks, STEVE:cheers: Again I am trying to achieve that BLACK WET LOOK

Glaze before wax always.

Glaze then Americana. BG has no protection properties. You need the wax after to protect the shine.

Another vote for glaze then wax

Remember that MSS (Machine Super Sealant) is NOT a wax... If you ever step up to using the sealant, you'll put it down before anything and then BG and then Americana.

If you BG then Wax, you can still BG on a later date after waxing!

Or you can do it this....

 

1. Get the car all cleaned up

2. Totally forget that you have a bottle of Brilliant Glaze

3. Apply Americana Paste Wax

4. <insert forehead slapping smiley here>

 

That's been my experience anyway...

BG after works well too! I'd only do it if your trying to impress though... On a DD it doesn't make a ton of sense. Sealing it between Americana allows it to last longer.

I use the BG on my car after every few washes just to add the little bit of shine when i dont need a fresh coat of wax. works awesome!

BG before Americana and of course make sure you clay and use revive before hand it will last longer.
