Thread: What to Do after clearcoat has aged.

Tweet

Use some polish and glaze mixed together. I do that with a buffer on about 1200 rpm and it comes out like glass. SM foam polishing pad glaze and Snap On polish to be exact. Cleaner Wax is ok to use after to kind of keep it shiney after washing but not needed. And Bob is right about the outgasing of the solvents and having to wait 30 days. When we are doing a car though and the customer needs it right back and wants it waxed then we just do it. Haven't had any problems with that.

Well with the new clears i recommend wax in the spring and fall. Polish all summer just to help in release of deeper dirt and grime .

For a "glaze" I recommend Meguirs "Mirror Glaze no. 7", has been the main stay for years in the show car circles. I have tried a lot of them, nothing has ever performed like Mirror Glaze as far as I am concerned. I have applied many coats one after another of the stuff and it just gets better and better. I have even "sealed" that look under paste wax because there is just no look like it.

I used to Mirror Glaze my truck every saturday when I was a youngster with more energy.
