Default Glaze then Wax??

Hey Guys, I am ordering some detailing products. Just not exactly 100% sure of how the process goes. Wash, dry, glaze then wax? Or wash, dry, wax then glaze? Could somebody please elaborate on this for me? Thanks in advance.

xmt carnauba glaze has wax in it so you can use it as a LSP (last step polish) as well. But if you want to top it , you can choose to.

You can skip any step you want to, it depends on what you want the finish product to look like. The most basic steps would be wash, polish, wax, but I would highly recommend claying at least twice a year. The sealants and glazes are optional and the use of each really depends on the condition of your paint, preference, and IMO climate. I would suggest the glaze for older paint or those that want to provide that last level of fillers for any remaining swirls that your polish left behind.

Oh, and yes you can insert your personal preference at the end in terms of cigar, beer, or whatever indulgence you prefer. I think last time I wanted a Drumstick ice cream cone.

Hey... first time glazer here... FYI, Don't skip the glaze... It adds a mirror quality to the job. Very nice.
