Why other companies promote a sealer/glaze before wax?

Re: Why other companies promote a sealer/glaze before wax?

Ciera, yes, you can apply a coat of #20 and then top it with either 21 or NXT. #21 and NXT are very similar, so you would want to use one or the other. We all like to try out various combinations of waxes and sealants and see how they look together.

#20 is a cleaner wax of sorts, so you would want to use it as your base coat. You may, of course, find that you like the way it looks all by itself, but if you decide you want to top it, you could use any of Meguiar's other waxes (#21, NXT, #26, Gold Class).

Have fun and enjoy!

So #7 would have as much filling / hiding ability as a product elsewhere called a glaze and touts it for that purpose, before wax?

I've certainly used #7, but never mentally thought of it as filling anything.

That's a good question. I have not compared #7 with the the "filling" glazes (Poor Boys' Black Hole, Clearkote Red Moose Glaze, and Chemical Guys' EZ Creme being the most notable); but I do recall Dave KG over at Detailing World observing that #7, which he loves, does not hide defects in the way that the above mentioned filler glazes do. That is not a criticism of #7--it wasn't created to significantly mask defects.

Appreciate that information. I thought it might be something to try. I try to remove every defect I can, but I say why not hide some too? ha-ha. Hide some things I can't see maybe even. ha.

Mothers has one of these products, that they call glaze, which is where I brought this all up from. Some of their forum members seem to really like it.


I can see Meguiar's may think less of fillers, since they believe in removing defects.
