Question Meguiars show car glaze

Who's used it, and what are the results of it? I'm getting my mustang cleaned up and ready for NOPI next weekend, just trying to get it in top notch condition again to see if i can place in the top 3 for Domestics again.

Ive never used it but my suggestion is to lay two coats of a synthetic polish like turtle wax ice, put as many coats of caranuba wax as you can. I mean 5+ coats. And then top it with a synthetic wax or sealant. your paint will look like an inch of water is on it and magnify any sparkle.

I think I might consider doing that Thursday or friday evening and leave the 'stang locked up in the shop with the other car we are taking (CF turbo RX-8 featured in modified Mag, N/A drag civic, RSX, Another Mustang)

I've just used this stuff on the fender and hood so far and right now the results will make you wet! I had a catapillar drop on the hood and it jus slid right off lol. It looks like a fresh paint job on those two sections, i'll let you know how the rest turns out though.

Hey Matt, the results are A+!!! I pulled the car back around in the front driveway and already had a guy stop by to check out the stang and said it looks amazing. He wanted to know what cleaning items I use, so i told him i jus tried the stuff out. I'll post pics as soon i can get someone with a good camera to take some.

5+ coats of caranuba is a little over doing it. But sure you can do that. HOWEVER, dont put a sealant over caranuba wax because it will have bonding problems. Itll also have bonding problems if you put it over a Glaze. If you want to put on a sealer then you need to rewash the car after using your polish, then apply the sealer. THEN you can put how ever many coats of caranuba on top of the sealer. A sealer will last longer then caranuba, but caranuba will give you a better shiny wet look.

Also, depending on the manufacturer, it takes 12-24 hours for sealant to cure before you can apply a top coat of wax. You can still drive the car during that time. But then you need to wash the car before applying the wax.

Your a cool guy and all, but why do you have to always brag about everyone elses car but yours? Its always "this car at the shop makes 900hp!" or "yea this evo at the shop is the fastest in the country!" Ok im sure its nice and all to be around fast cars, but you dont really get any cool points for other peoples cars.
