    Re: New Car Advice

    I was given a glaze to try and was curious if I can apply atop my Meguiars UQW that has been keeping my finish up nicely between washes. In fact, I just washed it today and applied UQW everywhere.

    I suppose at worst, the glaze would remove the UQW and I would need to reapply either UQW or ULW. Wasn't sure if a white car would "pop" with a glaze...my son used it on our friend's car he was detailing after polishing with 205 and then he applied ULW and that car looked great. I would like to just apply the glaze only but the contents state it has no wax, is not a sealant but does provide UV protection and anti-static protection (i.e. water based).

      I think that depends on whether the directions on the glaze recommend that the surface be completely stripped before applying. It may not bond properly to a surface with UQW (or any other wax) on it...

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

          I am using Chem Guys Glossworkz. It has UV protection but has no wax or sealant properties. Meant to just fill in small swirls and give the wet look...For the time being, since I just washed it yesterday and had already done a good job of using UQW, I won't try applying the glaze until next big wash. The last rains in L.A. definitely took the smoothness off the car until I reapplied the UQW yesterday. If we have another down pour, I might wash, then glaze, then seal...

            I would just stick to using UQW. White is different and a glaze would not really amp it up anymore than UQW. If you want to see if it does anything try it on a fender.
