0 Chris@Adams Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I say yes......naturally not like a red or say black, but you will notice a difference. EPHIOS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BRZN Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 One my wife's white Volvo XC70, honestly, I can't see a difference if I apply Brilliant Glaze to it or not, prior to wax or sealant. If the vehicle is polished to almost perfection, I wouldn't bother. If it's been a while since the last polishing, I'd do it for the slight filling properties afforded by the Brilliant Glaze.

0 MMHayden13 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 This is a picture after correcting polish, finishing polish, and brilliant glaze and wax. TBH I really didnt see much difference. But it did look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Roshi Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) BG for sure. I notice increased shine - but of course i have a layer of LPS, 2 x Americana , and regularly use RW and DS. Edited September 26, 2014 by Roshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 EPHIOS Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 We have two vehicles. One black and one baby blue. I noticed that when I applied BG to both vehicles, that the black car seemed to pop more than the baby blue car. However, I did noticed that a shine difference on the baby blue car, before and after applying BG. It is not as amplified as with the black car, though.

0 Adam Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Darker the color, the more reflection you will see from the Brilliant Glaze. Still, on our pearl white kiddo-mover, I will clay and Glaze it every three washes. It's so easy, and the results are with the effort...IMHO.

0 NowDatsG Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Mine isn't white I have a bright silver. I see a slight difference in the sun, makes the metallic pop more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does claying every 3 washes have any affect on sealant life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Beemer Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Does claying every 3 washes have any affect on sealant life? Yes. Claying will remove your sealant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) the solvents in Glaze also will break down the sealant slowly, that's why Adam clays/glazes often, and its probably therapeutic for him. I'm sure with that kind of regimen he is always adding protection, similar to my regimen. After a clay bar session in my years its always best practice to apply a layer of protection afterwards, whether you're using Glaze (a week to 10 days max), Buttery (a month), Americana (3 months), or Liquid Paint Sealant/Quick Sealant (6 months). Just keeps everything slick and keeps contaminates from bonding as quickly. Edited November 12, 2014 by Ricky Bobby TheWolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Dan@Adams Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I just finished a full detail to a friend's white/cream Acura Integra about 3 weeks ago. It's a custom white, but it has no metallic in it. I could maybe notice a slight improvement in clarity (I like using the reflections of my neon Pontiac sign on the garage wall), but it certainly helped in minimizing the appearance of a few deeper scratches in the hood that I wasn't able to fully polish out with the Cyclo. Here's the car in question, quite an exceptional GSR: Brilliant Glaze applied to the hood by hand...I usually apply it with the Cyclo or Flex, but I wanted the extra exercise. I will say that Brilliant Glaze sure does seem to bring out the pearl and metallic more in my White Diamond Tricoat Regal GS though! It shimmers like crazy in sunlight. It's so easy to apply and remove that I put a coat on every vehicle I detail Edited November 14, 2014 by psu goat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Adam Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 That's a clean Integra Dan! Nice work, great photos, and write-up! As for the Odyssey, yes, they are made in Lincoln, Alabama. We won't have a minivan for long, but my wife refuses to drive the Dodge or Chrysler minivan, the only American options. Bought it used, and my wife is literally trying to kill it. Every day.

0 Ricky Bobby Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 First to Dan, what a clean GSR example, not too many of those left nowadays! That's a clean Integra Dan! Nice work, great photos, and write-up! As for the Odyssey, yes, they are made in Lincoln, Alabama. We won't have a minivan for long, but my wife refuses to drive the Dodge or Chrysler minivan, the only American options. Bought it used, and my wife is literally trying to kill it. Every day. You learn something every day, thats pretty awesome that the Odyssey is made here nowadays, my wife's 4.3 Rav4 was also USA made, always a plus! I would take it over a Dodge/Chrysler any day however (and the Dodge Caravan is discontinued as of nex year, only the Chrysler T&C remains), and I get a kick out of your wife trying to kill it. Short of putting sand in the engine oil, as long as there is gas and oil in that engine she will be trying quite a while to get that Odyssey to die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PaintTech Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I just bought a 2011 Grand Sport...so, I'm detailing again! I've always use BG to accomplish 2 things. 1. Cleaner 2. Fill any tiny imperfections I couldn't get out or couldn't see inside my garage . We've all done it... Full polish in the garage... Looks perfect with the halogens, looks perfect with the LED shop light... The. You get it out in the sun and find that one thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
