Default question about maintaining that "just detailed" look

the FMJ is about 3-4weeks old on the black cars i detailed. can i apply new glaze to the old FMJ layer followed by a new coat of FMJ? (old FMJ layer --> FTG --> new FMJ). i might do this just before it starts to drop into the 40s here.

You can apply a glaze like danase wet glaze as it will let fmj bond to it but most glazes wont letfmj bond properly.

You can apply a coat of FTG and FMJ or just another coat of FMJ. You can also use the spray on version of the FMJ which is the Menzerna High Gloss Acrylic Shield (HGAS). After washing you can just spray it on and buff off the excess residue. It leaves a nice shine and added protection.

I like to wax every 3-4 weeks. I always do an iso wipe down to remove the previous waxs and oils. Then I just wax away. I did js109 followed by ezyme and do upkeep with gloss it or speed wipe.

+10 on the wax every 3-4 weeks, superblack is tough, but fun nonetheless
