What glaze do you suggest to use before topping off with 845 on new cc black paint?



Also, will a glaze affect 845's durability?

I have used 845 over CG's EZ-Creme with great results. As far as the durability, I haven't seen any effects whatsoever.
 
Glaze is usually an ultra-fine polish, so you are being pretty gentle. The GlossHaus glaze I use is a jeweling step for better pop when you get to wax.



I would recommend glaze - I use it with the white LC pad.

Thanks to the generosity of a fellow Autopian, I have a bottle of CG's EZ-Creme glaze that I've been messing around with a bit lately. It really is good stuff. Like, seriously good stuff. I wish I hadn't put off using it for over a year.



It doesn't "pop" the look quite as well as one of the Meguair's glazes, but then again, nothing does. I'm just about convinced that the Meg's glazes reduce LSP durability, though.



EZ-Creme and DWG are both great glazes to use before 845.
 
Dont forget to put down a layer of that Prima Amigo; the premier polymer glaze.



As per the Megs Glazes point, i would agree to a point, they are oil heavy and IME i would not apply them before 845.
 
I have used Megs' #7 before applying 845 and did not experience any problems, nor have I heard of anyone who has experienced problems with this combo. #7 does add a lovely touch of wetness.
 
I'm glad to hear this......the reviews on the CG EZ Glaze are unanimously positive.....so I piked some up while Detailed Image had their big sale last week. Unfortunately, looks like snow will keep it in the house for a few more months. The good news is I was able to lay down a coat of Collinite 845 before the temp. dropped. Oh well, I'll see the combo starting ~March/April, 2010! Between the CG EZ Glaze, Collinite 845, Optimum Opt-Seal, Poli-Seal and OCW, I am now all set!!! Except for the fact that it will be a high of 25F tomorrow......Ugh!



See ya. :wavey

I own all of those products (except poli-seal) and here are my favorite combos:



EZ-Creme/845/OCW ... awesome combo that creates a nice wet look on metallics



Opti-sealx2/845 ... great winter protection



Opti-sealx2/OCW ... it doesn't get any easier than this!!!



let me know if you have a chance to try any of these combos.
 
I've used PB's Black hole before topping with IW845 on my wife's DD (phoenix red). I did that in September and it is holding up well.
 
+1 for PB Black Hole and 845. Just did my wifes SS Red/Black and it looks really nice. PB fills quite a bit and leaves according to my wife "deep glossy" finish. 845 adds "the wet look". Didn't try any other colly except the 845 but I get around 4 months out of it on my DD (bi weekly washes with ONR) and I work in Power Plant, so car sits next to big stack at least 40-50 hrs/week. I don't think you can go wrong with PB Black Hole. PB makes good stuff and the price isn't bad.
 
Is there any advantage/disadvantage of using DWG, CG EZ-Creme Glaze, ClearKote Red Moose Machine Glaze, or PB BH............or does the choice just come down to personal preference?

Under a wax product?.......not really.



RMG under P21S won't look any different than EZ Creme or DWG under 845......

How long should you let glazes cure for before applying a wax product?

When you say "Glaze", what product are you referring to?



In the GlossHaus system, glaze is a jeweling step with the LC white pad - essentially a super-fine polish with no fillers or wax. There is no curing time at all - you wipe what little residue that exists off, though it doesn't set or create problems if left on for a short time.



If the product you're using is similar, don't wait, and you should IPA wipedown and/or wash the car prior to wax.

I was thinking of products like Meguiar's #7 or Danase Wet Glaze

The reason why I'm asking is because I don't have those products on hand.

Each one is different. Some say to work the product til it disappears, other say to work it, but not allow it to dry on the paint, others say to work it, then let it dry, others say to work it until it dries. So there's not really one answer, except to use each product as directed by the instructions.



IIRC, Megs seven says to work it, but not to allow it to dry before removal, and DWG says to work it until it is dried. If you work DWG with a PC and use the right amount, there's zero residue left. Magic stuff.
