With a polish collection like that, I don't think you even need glaze! If the scratches are that deep, that guy needs to go to a body shop haha. I like your selection though! We probalby share at least 70% of the same stuff

Poorboys SS&S certainly won't strip off your existing layer of sealant or wax. It's just a great all around car shampoo for your car. As far as a glaze being necessary......well that's a great point. I've never used a glaze as I never found it useful in the past, however after this customer's car, it would of been handy to have given the severity of the customer's paint. I've built a pretty decent detail inventory, but like I said, I am always interested in trying new products.

I put a fresh coat of Natty's Blue on my G tonight and I just love the depth and gloss that it gives.

my god that is awful lol. For another shampoo, I highly recommend P21S Total Auto Wash. It's a paint safe degreaser and can be diluted to a mild soap.

Yeah I know a lot of people like Dawn for stripping sealant and wax. I was just curious as to Garnet Canuck used it for his full detail jobs.

[Blackjack]

I always use Dawn before doing one of my fullblow detail jobs with clay, polish, glaze, sealent, and wax. (Yes... I'm a bit of a detail freak... I can spend a whole weekend on one.)

Agree 100%... For the money you can't beat the Poorboys line-up. Great product line these guys have, however, Menzerna does provide that extra "ummphh" that I like to see. The FMJ is perfect.

Oh and Poorboys stuff smells really really good. The Natty's Blue is like bubble gum and makes you want to eat it, but I don't recommend it. It doesn't taste as good as it smells.

If you are looking to strip all protectants from your paint surface, the general method is to spray a 50/50 Isopropyl Alcohol/water mix on your paint and wipe it off.

Yeah I'm positive that works too. I will begin to use this method after polishing to get rid of the fillers though
