2quikta Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I usually just use an Americana hex, but when putting through my last order I had the glaze pads in the cart and took them out at the last minute. Made me wonder how many people use a machine to apply their glaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scootertrash19 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I have the machine pads, but still apply by hand, for now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I use a machine, every single time. It's so much faster, and it spreads a nice thin coat. I only work by hand in tight areas that I can't reach with a machine. Kingsford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 camaro2ssblack Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I don't always apply glaze, but when I do, I use a machine. Team Adam's, Ricky Bobby, Hot_Wheel and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 b_pappy Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I like using the Cyclo to apply Brilliant Glaze, but sometimes just do a quick one by hand. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 hockeybawler Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Right now I am using the mini americana applicators, not too sure if you can but it seems to work fine for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DaveVY Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I have two machines, the PC and Flex, but when it comes to applying glaze it is always by hand for me. It is therapy time for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chris@Adams Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Probably half the time by hand and the other half by machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 egott_91 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Usually by hand. I feel like I use too much product when I use the machine. Plus, I don't like how the Rupes lays down sealants and glazes, don't have the 4" machine glaze pads and usually have the 4" backing plate on the PC. So, unless for some reason I have the 6" backing plate on the PC, I apply it by hand. It's so easy to apply there's no need for me to bring out the machine. Wastes energy running the machine, wastes time pulling the machine out and cleaning the larger pad after the use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Methodical Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) I usually just use an Americana hex, but when putting through my last order I had the glaze pads in the cart and took them out at the last minute. Made me wonder how many people use a machine to apply their glaze. I only use my machines to apply polishes, wax, glaze and sealants. Personally, I am not doing this stuff by hand anymore; it's just more efficient to use the machine to apply to vehicle with a large finishing pad. Maybe I'd consider it if I were doing a small car, but the Sequoia - no way. Just One Man's Opinion Edited May 11, 2014 by Methodical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Gen9Rolla Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I use machine and hand. Depends if I have a polisher out already or not. I wouldn't set up a polisher only to use brilliant glaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I don't glaze. Sealant plus wax only for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BigBlue2007 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I only use the machine if the polisher is out (after polishing and sealing/waxing) and I want to apply Brilliant Glaze. No need to grab a machine if I am just applying some glaze after a wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 j-r35 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Machine, gets it done quicker and more evenly for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 blcksilv08 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I've only done it by hand, but I now have the pads to use a machine so I will probably go that route next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
