Hey guys we are always talking about waxes and sealants and polishes and pads.
What about Glazes? Products designed to maximize shine and depth and designed to be topped with a carnauba wax (usually) Some contain micro abrasives that help boost gloss as well.
Ive personally used blacklight and plan to mess around with it more to see if layered with a wax if it will create a stellar look or if it affects durability at all.
Im interested in getting Chemical guys EZ Cream, it seems to be pretty popular with the pros followed by a premium nuba.
Do a writeup if you decide to use ez cream. Glossworkz glaze did a pretty decent job of leveling out. It also left an incredibly slick feel. I need to play with it more though.
Well we are all after that super wet nuba look, as long as a glaze doesnt affect the wax durability then i think its a great idea to help boost that wet look of the paint.
When i redo my wax test im gonna still do 4 sections but im gonna do half of each section with blacklight before hand, see if it makes a difference at all in beading/sheeting/durability.
If it doesnt affect durability ill use it on my mach 1 before i wax it.
I used blacklight before the AM car show this year to see what it could do. I applied it with my DA and a finishing pad. I have to say I was pretty impressed with the results. Definitely increased the gloss a lot and made my light swirls disappear. I topped it with Pete's 53 and was blown away with the finish. My sig is a picture taken by AM at the car show after a Griot's Speed Shine wipe.

Yea i used BL on my moms car that had never seen an LSP before, it darkened the paint substantially. Im going to do a test soon to see if BL affects wax durability, as long as it doesnt, itll be going on my mach 1 before the nuba
What's this $400 Brazilian carnuaba I keep hearing about from major detailing sites ect. I forget the brand but its a paste and its $400 for a small amount, would their be any reason to spend that on a wax as a topper?

I'm on the market for a glaze, should I go with EZ creme since I want more depth and gloss or should I go with blacklight? I have jetseal so I'm not worried about durability and protection but I don't want it to disappear in a couple of days.
EZ cream i think will offer the most wet gloss, i think BL is more of a darkener/color enhancer makes reds redder blacks darker. EZ cream i think makes your paint look really wet and is wax friendly so you can lock in the look with a good sealant or nuba.
Jetseal isnt as durable as BFWD and some others but its not bad. It should do well topped with a wax. I did my car in Jetseal and Pete's 53, my car looked like it was covered in oil, it was great lol, super wet. Jetseal has a pretty good reputation for looking really good for a sealant.
I use Blacklight and Wet Mirror Finish quite a bit on personal & customer cars - it's always turned out great. Also used 3m Finesse-it, Meguiar's Mirror Glaze, and Poorboys Black Hole/White Diamond with great results. I've been thinking about trying the EZ Creme when the truck gets polished, but haven't decided yet. I'm really thinking I'll just use the Blacklight since I know how it will turn out with the PC.
I don't have any of the GT or Lightning detailed up, but here's the Supercrew.

Nice bro that metal flake is poppin really nicely, thanks to the BL im guessing.
I have blacklight and i know it helps make colors richer and darker and boost gloss. I want to pick up EZcream since its not expensive and alot of the pros use it religiously.
My car is black and when i correct i get ALOT of depth and darkness, im hoping glazing before waxing will make it look super wet.
I have some ez creme that i havent used yet. Im actually thinking of selling it to get blacklight but id like for handz to elaborate on the differences.
Ultima WW+ 3oz of the concentrate will make you 1 gallon of it to be used as a QD/Waterless wash/clay lube. Not much else out there that is better.
and for the stupid low price you can get at DC if your a member for on sale at autoality now for 14.99 will make you 5 gallons https://www.autoality.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=6242&idcategory=
UWW+ is the ****. No need to try any other QD/clay lube once you use it. Bird **** literally melts in the stuff. Love the way it leaves the paint super slick. Use it every time after I wash.
I have a 16 oz bottle of EZ creme glaze that I only used once. You can have it if you want.
Your glaze is on its way. Shipped today, but what a pain in the ass. The post office closed @ noon due to the holiday. Luckily one of the local grocery stores has a post office inside that didn't close early. Should get it by the end of the week hopefully.
I think a cool function of a glaze is...one with microabrasives could help if you enduce any water spots if you prefer to wash your car after polishing and before waxing...
Im looking forward to doing some testing with EZCreme
