[03auto]

Is there a good article on polishing and waxing? Just wondering since there are so many products out there. Also does anyone use glaze and if so what is its benifits and can wax be applied afterwards?

Yes, some of us use glazes at times and you NEED to apply a wax afterwards.

Is anyone using any certain system. From compound to wax. I have some fine wash marks and a few water spots. I am going to be using the PC 7424. just want to know what shows to work?

If the car's paint isn't horrible and just needs some tlc I use this:

Menzerna Car Care Kit


From here depending on your paint condition, it is just a matter of using the proper pad. Always start with the least aggressive pad and work your way up if needed. You can't really mess up using the PC so don't worry.

Just got my Menzerna polish in. The final glaze is real watery, I have tried shaking it hoping it would thicken up but no luck with it. Has anyone else used it, If so is this ok to use?

Not familiar with the Menz line, but most glazes are quite thin, so I'm sure it is fine.
