shaunwistow Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hi What is the benefit of using brilliant glaze & Patriot together? Will the glaze offer additional gloss? Cheers Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dan@Adams Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hi Shaun, yes the Brilliant Glaze will provide a little more gloss and also has filling properties to temporarily mask minor imperfections that may not come out 100% when machine polishing. Since Brilliant Glaze does not offer really any protection, you can layer it as well. I like to put on a coat the night before a car show, or even at the show once I park the car to add that extra wow factor for the judges James__, shaunwistow and Chris@Adams 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mc2hill Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) What Dan said!!! I apply BG, then top with Americana for my clients with show cars. They LOVE this combo, as it really adds a pop to the paint. I use it on chrome too.

0 shaunwistow Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Cheers, looks like another Adams product I need to add to the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 James__ Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Definitely a good product to have and a little goes a long way. It also performs incredibly well on chrome and really shines the sever chrome under-bite that it my front bumper lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 shaunwistow Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Right glaze ordered, any benefit of applying it with a dual action polisher rather than by hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chris@Adams Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Right glaze ordered, any benefit of applying it with a dual action polisher rather than by hand? The benefit of applying BG with a machine is it's faster and you can get a nice even thin coat. Warning, make sure you wear your sunglasses when you wipe the BG off! lol James__ and shaunwistow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 James__ Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Right glaze ordered, any benefit of applying it with a dual action polisher rather than by hand?Just speed and the ability to apply a more uniform coat of glaze. Either way it wipes off with extreme ease. Edited April 5, 2016 by James__ shaunwistow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 LT1xL82 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 On the subject of Brilliant Glaze: Dylan told me that the amount of petroleum distillates in the product is minimal and hence it is safe for paint protection films (Xpel Ultimate specifically). Is this still Adam's position? I'd REALLY like to try this on my car this spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dan@Adams Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I've had no issues with Brilliant Glaze on 3M Clear Bra but I have not yet tried it on Xpel. It should be fine to use occasionally, but like any other polish, wax, or sealant product, you want to pay special care to keep it away from the edges of the paint protection film so that it doesn't build up on the edge or try to lift it off of the surface of the clear coat.

0 shaunwistow Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Glaze just arrived After applying the glaze can patriot be added straight away? if so, after I have applied the wax, how long does that have to cure before I can add another layer of glaze?

Correct, glaze, wipe, wax, wipe, don suglasses and enjoy! shaunwistow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 shaunwistow Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 So, no curing times in between layers? I didn't know if glazing after just applying patriot would harm the curing of the wax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Wax doesn't really cure in the way a polymer sealant would. If it's haZed and wiped off go ahead and top it if you wish. Although with Patriot you won't need to. shaunwistow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 rkj4243 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Shaun, Below is a photo of my car which was waxed with Patriot Wax, then a coating of Brilliant Glaze applied over it, and driven 65 miles to a show. Wax and glaze were put on a couple hours before I left home for the show, with no waiting in between products.

0 Joeinmo Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Alright, I'm going to beat a dead horse a little bit more. One of my vehicles currently has LSP and buttery wax, buttery wax was put on several washes ago. The other just has LSP, put on last week. Would the procedure be 2 bucket wash with just shampoo, machine on the brilliant glaze, wipe off, apply Patriot, wipe off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Sure that would work fine. Man you'll have a ton of shine with LPS + glaze and Patriot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Joeinmo Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I'm looking forward to it! Just using things I've gotten in mystery boxes. Apply the glaze with the grey pad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 James__ Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'm looking forward to it! Just using things I've gotten in mystery boxes. Apply the glaze with the grey pad? Apply Glaze with a red pad if possible. It's a finer foam designed to be used with the glaze as it is a finer product. Joeinmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
