Glaze is not wax...Glaze is a liquid product that fills-in swirls and imperfections in the paint. Some of the better glazes create a much improved wet-look from their high level of oil content. I used to use 3M imperial glaze until I realized how much it sucks (really)! I highly recommend Vanilla Moose glazes because of their ease of use, great swirl-filling capability, and high oil content. So much oil is in the stuff that the oil separates from the rest of the product, just like peanut butter! Glazes are usually used to absolutely, completely remove those last little swirls that could not come out from polishing. It is ideal for new-car paints to remove those minor imperfections without sacrificing the clearcoat because a glaze is non-abrasive. If a client where to have a vehicle with a very thin clearcoat, I would prefer to use a glaze just so that the clearcoat is not cut in anyway. Here are two ways of using glaze, depending on whether or not you where to use a chemical cleaner like Klasse All In One...
Wash, clay bar, wash, dry vehicle, polish, glaze, sealant, wax (sealant would be non-abrasive, like Menzerna's Full Molecular Jacket).
or
Wash, clay bar, wash, dry vehicle, polish, chemical cleaner, glaze, wax.
I am beginning to stray away from Klasse All In One when I am using a glaze because from above you should notice how two layers of different product are used when not using a chemical cleaner instead of one on top of the glaze.
