By using a glaze, the only thing you're doing is masking the damage. It is still there, and will reveal itself after you've washed the car enough times. Detailers, body shops and dealerships will use a glaze to make your car look perfect when you come to pick it up. However, after a month of washing, all the scratches will eventually show back up. That's why you never see me use a glaze in any of my videos. I want the damage removed, not masked.

Junkman2008, so far I watched six of your videos, All 2 HRS & 56 MIN worth from the link you provided in this thread. I'm very impressed with the knowledge you share on paint correction/protection. Not that I did a bad job with my 370Z a couple of weekends ago (the paint is in outstanding condition and easy to care for at this point), nevertheless, I would have tweaked my process some after watching your videos. I have a 4Runner that can benefit from what I've learned watching your videos and will be doing some paint correction on it in a couple of weeks. I've always done a two bucket wash, and my process of shining a car is very similar to yours. With that said, I will change my process and some of the products I use to closely match yours.

You're very thorough and know your stuff.

Thanks for the help! It's much appreciated.
