Glazes - Facts and Tips:

• Glazes can help increase the depth and gloss in the paint

• The filling of light imperfections is only temporary and will return over time

• Do not expect a glaze to fill in too many imperfections, only the slightest imperfection can be masked

• If you are using a glaze that utilizes mostly oil based fillers, then top it with a wax since a sealant will not bond properly to it

• Glazes typically cannot be layered, so only one coat is necessary for maximum results



Sealants - Facts and Tips:

• In general, sealants last somewhere between 3 to 6 months

• When applying a sealant, it's best to spread it as thin as possible

• In general, you should give each coat of sealant at least 24 hours to cure and bond to the paint

• Some sealants can be layered to increase the depth and gloss as well as protection

• Sealants can be topped with a wax to get the best of both worlds in terms of looks and durability

• In general, all in one products with protection will last less than a pure sealant


Carnauba waxes - Facts and Tips:

• Carnauba waxes typically last between 3 to 8 weeks

• Apply your wax as thin as possible, only a microscopic layer of wax actually sits on your paint, excess wax is just wasted

• In general you should give each coat of wax 12 to 24 hours cure time

• It is best to work in the shade when applying and removing a wax

• Most waxes can benefit from 2 to 3 layers for maximum depth and gloss

• When your paint stops beading water, it is time to reapply a coat of wax
