Hang on, you said you'd leave that process out?
Don't mention Glaze, Benito will get emotional
Is this the forum equivalent of a pikey call out video on YouTube and faceache?
It's fairly easy to see they've made a typo and meant that claying is a step they wouldn't leave out and highly recommend it.
I've left this thread alone because it's evident you haven't a clue what you're talking about and do nothing more than scaremongering and/or misinform forum members.
By all means, continue. It's very entertaining.
A glaze can be used in the following scenarios.
1. You're too lazy to correct paintwork.
2. You don't have the budget for paint correction.
3. Your car has a long list of owners and you're unsure of its history with regard crash damage repair/replacement panels/previous polishing.
4. If you don't have time to fix a blemish.
5. If someone has scared you into thinking compounding, and polish to a lesser degree, is like taking a hot knife to butter so you want to play it safe.
6. If you're happy enough with satisfying the "it looks good from 6 feet away" rule and overall have a safe wash technique and maintaining it will still have your car looking better than 90% of vehicles that go through a brush wash or the local scratch & wash once a week.
7. You're a wannabee detailer looking for Facebook likes/retweets/snapchat followers/becoming insta-famous when in reality you don't know how to use a polisher any better than your dick.
I don't like glazes as is, so to say they form a great base for a wax is madness. Especially if it's an expensive wax. You're ****ing money to the wind then as you're ruining the longevity.
Have you ever tested longevity and refraction side by side of panel areas just glazed, glazed and waxed, wax and a corrected panel with wax?
No need to answer, I won't reply.
If anyone would like decent car care tips, throw me a PM.
