3m Imperial Hand glaze
Does anyone have any experience with this product? My dealer uses it to prep cars, and from a visual standpoint, the results look very good. Will it harm the finish?
This is a product description:
Product #:* 3M39007
Product Name:* 3M Imperial™ Hand Glaze, 16 fl oz
Description:* A unique combination of paint glossifiers provides a brilliant, deep, "wet look" show car finish.
Non-silicone, non-wax hand glaze. It is used by hand to refine and fill swirl marks after machine glazing. This product has been formulated to work on all colors and can be painted over.

Thanks for the feedback
Thanks for the feedback...I will continue to use it on the car as it looks great! Can you suggest a good quality wax to follow up with? I don't want to be fanatical about exotic multi step products but do wish to maintain a good protective wax finish. The car is in Florida, usually garaged and I don't mind washing and waxing often. Might there also be a suggestion for a good wash product as well? Thanks again.

When you say that "I don't want to be fanatical about exotic multi step products" I can't help but think that you may be referring to Zaino.
Don't be misled. Many that use Zaino ARE fanatical, and apply multiple layers, but it doesn't mean that you have to!
That being said, if you are willing to wax often as you say, Zaino will provide the best shine AND protection that you can get in my experience. It costs a little more, but it is worth every penny.

Thank you both for your feedback
Appreciate your feedback. My threshold for protection is preping with a good wash, followed by the 3m glaze and then a single step wax job. I can handle the extra cost for quality products, but my otherwise supportive wife wouldn't be able to tolerate extraordinary applicaton steps and time that I've read the Zaino product line suggests(clay etc.). Any suggestions for these products would be very welcomed as the car is literally brand new and I would like to put something on it immediately. Thanks again...PS this is perhaps the most exciting car we have ever owned...having owned a vette and saab, et. BTW we are both in our 50's LOL!

Zymol is also a good wax. I did a comparison test between it and NXT and NXT goes on a little easier but Zymol looked a little darker (richer). This was on my dark blue Expedition.

I just tried the Meguiars NXT. I didn't think the shine was as good as Zaino. It should be noted that this was with a lighter "pewter" color, and the NXT is supposedly better on darker colors, which I have not tried it on.
