We've been using 3M Hand Glaze for over a dozen years now with excellent results. Hand Glaze will hide minor scratches and swirls in your paint and also provide an excellent gloss in preparation for your favorite wax. Wax protects but glaze provides the shine. Use it twice a year at a minimum to rejuvenate your paint.

Insure that you follow the instructions correctly on the bottle in order to use this product correctly. Apply the product with a cotton cloth or foam applicator, rub in very well and buff out immediately (don't allow the product to dry on the paint) with cotton or microfiber. Lower humidity conditions seem to make this product a bit easier to work with.

You must wax over the top of this glaze. We've used it on our daily drivers as well as our concours only car. It really makes a car pop when you use glaze!

Highly recommended!

I discovered this after some body work repaired where a deer ran into my truck. I was given the old bottle by the body shop guy. Wash and dry, rub the glaze in like wax and buff it off before you wax, once or twice a year to fill in the imperfections. (Wax more regularly) I have always had some, used sparingly and I myself am amazed at how new my paint looks even after 7 Years hard use. Anyone who loves their ride must have this in the back of their cabinet to be used secretly 2 times yearly. Your neighbors will hate you. (also try SHOW CAR Dupont wax, long lasting glass finish)

The 3M Imperial Glaze is very good at getting the swirls out of your paint and it has a deep gloss.

Got the shine back on my 13 year-old original paint. Easy to use and a little goes a long way. Works better if you have orbital buffer. I used a electric screw driver and even made my headlights sparkle!

This product goes on and off easilly and cleanly.. Initially is was not so impressed as i did not see the mirror finished on my silver car as i imagined.

There is a section on the frame of the car (door) which is painted black, as soon as i applied the glase i really saw the true beauty of this product, it was exactly what i imagined..wet glass finish.

Just after applying this product the heavens opened and it rained all night, most of the water beaded and ran off. It remained there till the next morning where the water dried without leaving a spot.

Again this a a great product, but results will be better with a darker colour car..

This product is excellant for restoring the plastic rear window of a convertible soft top.

Product worked great on my white car. Provided a great, clean shine. A little tough to work with but most glaze is. I topped off with 3M Perfect It liquid wax, great results overall.

I guess this product works as advertized, but I really couldn't see much difference in my two year old black finish.

I know of no other product that removes scratches from urethane finishes as well as this one does. Not as harsh as rubbing compound, it's the perfect solution for small to medium scratches in a car's finish. It also works well on urethane-sealed hardwood floors!

Used it with my 3" orbital buffer. I started with my clean pre-owned Toyota buffed the surface with this then applied the Hang Glaze - buffed, the 3M Performance Wax - buffed(a synthetic non carnuba sealer) then 3M Show Car paste wax and buffed, and my car is gleaming! I am sure most pro orientated products will give similar results but I like this combination.
