A glaze makes a car look wet and gives the paint clarity. I've only used Meg's #7. I read where Meg's #81 is better on clearcoat than #7. A glaze is used after a polish and before a wax. It has fillers in it to help hide the defects in your paint. It has very little or no durabilty. Here are a few glazes. Vanilla Moose Wax, Meg's #7 and Meg's #9. 3M's Imperial Hand Glaze, One Grand Omega Glaze. Hope this helps. Rick
 
glazes are used on new paint jobs while the paint is cureing, or as a layer for addtitional shine.

I use it for the later of the two on after i get polishing and right before I apply the sealant

I would say that #9 is a cleaner/glaze as opposed to a pure glaze.

IMO pure glazes are for beauty only and have VERY little if no cleaning ability. They are best applied to a clean paint surface to which a polish has been applied.

Examples IMO of pure glazes:

meg's #3, #5, #7, #81

You're right EBP # 9 isn't a glaze. Why I typed that I don't know. :dunno. Thanks for correcting me. Rick
 
I wish there was more of a standard for calling something what it is. I have this stuff at work called Vitreo Glaze, but it's a sealant.
 
Ashley-Its the same.Some would call it a cleaner/glaze.It has light polishing abrasives which are very mild IMO and oils in it too to give the surface a wet look.At least when *I* used it, thats the finish it gave to me.

Is Vanilla Moose wax a glaze? I thought Vanilla moose hand glaze was a glaze and the vm wax was a wax?

VM is funky stuff
First, dont be alarmed, its thin like water, not typical of a glaze
It hides imperfections VERY well, can really take care of that last 5%
It has some very fine abrasives as well to provide small polishing action
It can remove minor oxidation
AND it lays down a bit of protection too, that has been known to last for 1-2 months. The protection is petroleum based.

Talk about something that does a bit of everything. For me VM has found its place after polishing and before the wax. Great product.
 
Carnuba Moose Wax is their wax. I refer to VM as Vanilla Moose Wax which in reality is Vanilla Moose Wax Hand Glaze. Moose Wax is their cleaner wax.Sorry for the confusion.:miss Whaler.
