Glaze?!?!

If you ask me I would tell you to use either a glaze or a wax. Glazes are usually more oily than a wax and I wouldn't think that would be the best surface for a wax to be used on. Glazes and waxes can both be used on their own. You don't necessarily have to layer a wax on top. If you do then you will loose some of the wet look that the glaze provided and perhaps gain a little durability depending on the type of wax you used. I say forget them both and just use a sealant. Then you get looks and better durabilty all in one step.
 
Tom,

You have the process in the proper order polish-prewax cleaner-glaze-sealant/wax. I think the most confusing part for people new to detailing to understand is that each step is done on an as needed basis. If your paint needs to be polish, then you polish it.

Personally, I don't feel that there is much need to use a glaze ever. Glazes are mostly oils and fillers. Polishes are so good today there's really no need to have to cover up most imperfections. Instead it's better to remove them. Unless of course your paint is extremely thin from being old, wet sanded, or heavily polished.

Exactly!

If you are using a carnauba wax, glaze couldn't hurt, but all it reeally does is hide imprefections and give a little more gloss.

Glazes by themselves might last 7-10 days if you're lucky.
