Why not a HD GLAZE ???

I'd like for HD to make a glaze. I am sure it would be a winner. ??????



Glazes are pretty much a thing of the past. They were necessary for the old lacquers, alkaloid enamels, etc.

That was due to the nature of the paint systems and a lack of the modern polishing machines, products and pads that are in use today.

With the advent of new paint systems, clearcoats, etc, glazes just faded away, as they were no longer necessary.

A "glaze" is similar to "women's makeup", in that it is applied and in a few hours evaporates away or is washed off.

There are still some who promote their use, but mainly for car shows where the need is a very short term shine that "pops".

Excuse the posting screw up.
 
I would consider HD Speed a to have glaze-like properties. It cleans the surface, adds gloss, can fill small defects, provide temporary protection and can bond with other sealants like POXY or Nitro Seal.

I was about to post, what about HD Speed? :bump2: I isn't a true glaze but it sure works fine in a pinch.
 
Speed is HD's AIO product for those times when you need luttle potection and some light swirl temoval as well as a little extra gloss. But with how well HD Cut actually cuts and finiah down then follow up with HD Polish there is really no need for a true glaze in this line. As required i will be doing a review on the HD Cut just have not be able to get pictures yet

Well, I wouldn't go that far :think: There are cases where (abrasive) polishing just isn't appropriate.



Judging by the way they've developed their other products, HD could perhaps really come up with something great.

Sounds somewhat similar to Autoglym SRP but with, I'm assuming (uh-oh :o ), less impressive filling.



I'm thinking more of a "true glaze" in the sense of being differentiated from an AIO.

From what i have been told years ago by an old achooler a glaze increases gloss by filling in minor swirls to give a perfect apperance. No correction property in a glaze
 
Meguiars STATES """""New Car Glaze #5 is a true polish that restores paint’s gloss with rich nutrients and oils. It wipes off easily in hot, humid conditions and leaves paint with a deep, reflective shine. Sometimes paint doesn’t need correction; it just needs a boost. Meguiars New Car Glaze #5 gives it that boost of gloss and color with nutrients that restore the paint’s like-new appearance. Use #5 as a final step after swirl removal or as a precursor to the wax to create the deepest possible shine.



Polish to a concours-worthy finish!



If you’re already familiar with this intense glaze, you’ve already come to appreciate how essential it is to a concours-quality finish. If this is your first experience with #7 Show Car Glaze, prepare to be wow’d! This is the very same product used by the expert detailers in the show circuit. For years they’ve relied heavily on Meguiar’s #7 Show Car Glaze to get the high-definition gloss finish that is so coveted by motoring enthusiasts.



Meguiar’s #7 Show Car Glaze is a true high-yield polish with no protective qualities. Be certain to follow application with a coat of top-quality wax such as Meguiar’s Premium Paint Protection or Meguiar’s Hi-Tech Paste Wax #26. The rich emollients and nourishing oils in #7 Show Car Glaze produce a very deep, heavy mirror-gloss shine. #7 is safe to use on all paints and clear coats.""""""""""""""""""""""
 
And here's Auto Magic's description of their New Car Gaze:

New Car Glaze™ is a finishing polish designed to fill surface scratches and remove minor paint imperfections from new and used cars. Excellent for use on moderate paint oxidation. Clear coat safe. May be applied by hand, orbital buffer, or variable speed polisher. Works well with wool or foam pads. VOC compliant.

Seems like the key elements of a glaze would be to fill defects and improve the appearance of the finish. Is there any other requirements?
 
I want a friggin Krispi Kreme worthy glaze, one that after washing and clay, you could apply, let sit then add a wax and wow-perfection, something that would easily last 6 months!

Ever who invents that, will get an order from me.

Why? Why the hell not? If you, like me, do daily drivers, hunting trucks, family SUV's then why bust your balls doing correction unless the customer signs in blood that they won't either wash it themselves or take it to the tunnel of swirls? Clean it, glaze it - wax and be done, gives more time to impress them with your fantastic interior detailing.

Also according to MEG. it should contain rich emollients and nourishing oils.

Do I detect a bit of sarcasm :chuckle:



Yeah, that gets to be pretty, uhm....debatable ;) with today's "modern" autopaint.



But the valid side of that sure makes the Meg's "pure polishes" the [stuff] for use on old-school finishes.
 
Still trying to figure out what aspect of a "glaze" people are looking for that HD Speed doesn't fullfill?



Filling....<check>

Add Gloss.....<check>

Safe for fresh paint.......<check>



HD Speed does this and alot more. What else is there?
