glaze/seal/wax?

[Hayley]

I haven't touched the sunshine bus since I've had it, and its looking pretty rank..

Normally I wash (2 buckets) with a microfibre or wool mitt, and either gold class shampoo or AG shampoo.
Then I dry off with microfibre cloths and use SRP or the black labeled gloss one (I'm an AG Wh0re).
Then, because I heart my car, I use AquaWax with a microfibre and thats it done.

Use wonderwheels or clean wheels on the wheels.

I'm thinking about playing with a 'proper' wax and having a go at EGP to build up some protection on the paint.

Am i right in thinking I SRP, on and off, then EGP on, dry for 30 mins or so off and do a couple of coats then wax?
Whats a sealant? Is that effectively what EGP is?
Whats a glaze?

lol, should I be using one, all three or none?
Minimum effort please!

The EGP is the sealant, you may get a lightly warmer look using a wax over it. Standalone the Extra Gloss Protection will look good though and be durable.

The EGP may be a pain to use as it is cold and damp out, will probably need at least an hour before removal at this time of year. If you can get some on I would save adding wax till the next time you wash.

A proper glaze does not really fit into the AG SRP and EGP routine that well, due to it containing lots of oils and fillers it is meant to give a wet glossy look to the paint so wont allow a sealant to bond to it and will reduce the life of any waxes you add over it.

Edit - Just read minimum effort - just SRP and Aquawax it !

EGP is a pain at the best of times unless you fancy getting an easy to use alternative ?

Wouldnt bother with a glaze atall.

Minimum effort: SRP then get some collinites 476 wax on it.

I wouldn't bother with using a glaze.

I bought a bottle of Clearkote Yellow Moose Glaze. I much prefer the results of Extra Gloss Protection over the glaze.

SRP then get some collinites 476 wax on it.

Gives a really nice finish this
