Glaze

[hominid]

Elo po ulit peeps,

Since marami ako newly painted areas sa sasakyan ko, I read dun s noob thread na its best to use glaze. Kaso nun ng search ako, masyadong kalat-kalat ng infos tunkol d2.

A few questions:

1. Application. - kelangan bang rotary polisher o pede kamay lang?

2. Steps - sinusundan ba ng wax(not possible sa new paint)? Pano mga preparations?

3. For old painted areas, ano po effect n2?

4. Frequency - good for 6 months? So maliit bottle lang pala pede na.

5. Glaze vs. Wax?

Salamat po sa infos.

1. Application. - kelangan bang rotary polisher o pede kamay lang?

AKo by hand lang gamit ko 3m Imperial Hand Glaze.. bagong repaint lang kasi car ko and bawal pa i wax. Bili ka ng Wax applicator na pad and ung Microtex na Ultra plush for buffing. Ganda ng results.

2. Steps - sinusundan ba ng wax(not possible sa new paint)? Pano mga preparations?

bawal pa i wax ung newly painted na areas.

4. Frequency - good for 6 months? So maliit bottle lang pala pede
na.

Ung Glaze tinatago lang nya ung light swirls... Wala pang 1 week yan tangal na ung glaze ( in my experience) DI kaya ng 6 months un kahit ung pinaka maganda pang wax di tatagal ng 6months unless ung mga polymer sealants..

1. Application. - pede kamay lang.

yup

2. Steps - sinusundan ba ng wax(not possible sa new paint)? Pano mga preparations?

supposed to be oo. pero in your case wag muna. prep? best kung wash, clay, then cleaner.

3. For old painted areas, ano po effect n2?

same. kaya lang mas nirerekomenda ng mga mas nakakaalam kasi apparently di "pinapahinga" ng wax yung new paint mo, i.e. out-gas.

4. Frequency - good for 6 months? So maliit bottle lang pala pede na.

6 months? no. pasachet-sachet ng IHG pwede rin.

5. Glaze vs. Wax?

glaze - hides minor imperfections, not long lasting protection. wax - longer protection than glaze.

ps: tinatamad na akong hanapin yung thread mo sa sub natin e... kailan na nga ba ulit napinturahan yan? more than 2 months na di ba?

you can glaze by hand, but orbital buffing is more n00b-proof. dont even think about rotary buffing if you're new to this, and you have new paint. the reason why you shouldn't wax newly painted cars is not because it needs to breathe ("hinga"), but because it needs to cure (i.e. allow the normal chemical stabilization to take place) before you introduce new stuff.

glazing and waxing are different stages of the process. glaze refreshes weathered paint and removes very light scratches, while wax simply puts a layer of protectant over the finish. in other words, you glaze to make your paint look brand new, and you wax to protect your work so that it stays like-new. i hope this makes sense.

OT:
* hominid: ay. hehe. hindi. ang tinutukoy ko yung post mo kung kailan mo natapos pa pinturahan. hehe. ano yung 1mo.? parang di ko napansin ah.

Excellent responses...

Think of a glaze as a temporary thick "oil film" that hides your minor swirls and provides a wetter gloss for the paint.

It offers no protection and will wash off if not sealed by a wax/sealant after application.

The way I see glaze, is like yung pinambabalot ng tirang pagkain na stretchable plastic. It's glossy and once you "wrap it on" and glide your finger across it, parang madikit and not slippery like wax. But unlike that, it doesn't provide protection like Theveed said.

OT: Malakas na magnet ata Getz ko. Truck naman ang minagnet. Yun ginitgit ako. Pina-bless ko ulit. Hopefully to demagnetize. Sana me pang demagnetize na detailing kit ano, lol!

quick question lang about glaze (IHG specifically) : do you let it dry to a haze before wiping it off? or after application (a panel at a time) you immediately wiped it off?

hirap tanggalin pag nag-dry na, aside from that i dont see any difference sa result whether dried or immediately wiped off.

TIA.
