  • Glaze for trim dressing?

    This may be an old detailer's trick, but I was playing around the other day trying out new things and discovered a glaze works really well as a trim dressing. My main problem with most dressings is I hate solvent dressings, and all silicone dressings come in spray cans and there is a ton of overspray. I spend way moretime rubbing off the excess dressing, even if not using spray cans, than I should be.

    Anywho, the glaze seems to work wonders and solves all my problems. I already own it so no extra purchases, a light coat does the trick and provides a deep black with no annoying oily shine, and any overages simply wipe off the glass or paint.

    Are there any resons this is a bad method? I've tried on two different vehicles (my own) and haven't seen any negative effects.

    how long have you been doing this?, a glaze is more like filler/oils for paint it does not have any kind on UV protectors that are necesary, thats why a wax is necesary for protection, its the same thing on plastics, you are only aplying a "shine" but its not helping in protection from the UV rays and sun, why dont you try Meguiars Trim Detailer? its cheaper than a glaze!!

        For trim, you should even try M40..M40 is designed for all trim, plastic, vinyl, rubber,...it can be using anywhere...all trim, under the hood, dashboards, door panels...it leaves a nice shine, and it offers UV protection...

          It was acutally just some stuff I had lying around, and I only applied it a couple days ago. It seemed to work great but I had no idea about durability or protection, which is why I asked. Oh, and it's not anything made my Megs, just a couple sample bottles from my local distributor.

          Seems promising with the responses given, I'll probably keep playing with it and see what comes about.
