Serious no BS kinda guy
I'd strip and redo once a year, unless you start seeing smearing in the finish, which would indicate there's too much product on the finish.
Picking a glaze for a garage queen
- Thread starter chevyguy28
- Start date
Justin - If you "glaze and wax" repeatedly as you are suggesting, you will probably find that the glaze will not bond to the surface after you have waxed. Ideally, you will want to build up your layers of sealant to the point that you are satisfied and then apply your wax. A "pure" wax (not a cleaner wax) can be layered, so simply apply your wax as desired after you have your desired sealant level applied.
As far as starting over once or twice per year (in the case of a garage queen) I don't do that. But, it really depends on how much road time you plan on giving the car. You will probably be the best judge as to when stripping the car down is necessary. Personally, I don't see the need to start from scratch with a garage queen, simply maintain what you have. JMO.

This may be true or may not. :nixweiss
But I have applied P21S over #7 and the shine seemed to get better. :bow
If i remember right the Mothers Sealer & Glaze bottle states that it is designed to be layered and can be used on top of wax then waxed over. I've done this many times without dimished results.
On the Reflections topic discussed earlier in the thread. If you are looking for a long lasting easy to use "wax" you should really give this stuff a try. I began using it this fall as an easy one-step for our cars until spring. It goes on and comes off very easily and offers a great shine and decent durability. It's what I recommend to people who want an easy to use product on a new or decent shape car. :up

Meg's #7 and S100 gave me my best shine to date. One weekend when I feel real ambitious I'd like to SEPC + MEG 7 + S100.
Also would like to try One Grand Omega Glaze soon.

When I go to car shows and see a car that realy stands out I usually ask what they use on their cars . 99% of the time they use glaze only usually Meg.#7 or I.H.G. or sealer and glaze . They use Q.D. for touch ups
Have a question for everyone.
I'm currently using SEPC and S100 and I've noticed the paint definitely looks better with just SEPC.
If I have a semi garage queen which is only used on sunny days and is cleaned after every drive, will I damage my paint by not protecting it? If yes what kind of duration would it take to damage the paint (Note the sun is pretty strong here) My car still has it's original paint BTW.
I figured this is the right place to post since we're discussing glazes. Thanks everyone.

Since you like the appearance of your paint after a cleansing with SEPC/GEPC you might want to try Clearkotes Vanilla Moose ( paint cleanser). It makes the finish appear identical to a SEPC application but has some minimal protective properties. This may perfectly meet your needs just in case a bird happens to zero in on your finish during it's exposure to the real world outside of you garage.
P.S. Your vehicle is exposed to destructive elements (acidified humidity, UV rads, etc) even indoors unless you have a light-proof climate controlled garage. :wavey

blkZ28,
Thanks for the tip, I've been thinking about buying the Vanilla Moose for a while and will definitely try it when I run out of SEPC. I remember Scottwax had mentioned he was doing a test of how well Vanilla Moose protects your car over time, I'll have to find out how that test was going.
I wish I had a climate controlled garage, then I'd have no excuse to ever leave and my wife would definitely I've gone mad!
