Hello,
Just thot i'd give my views on this stuff.

Its the only stuff i've used so far since 1 month of owning exige.

Products
Poorboys White Diamond Glaze

Poorboys Natty's Paste Wax

i found that when removing the glaze, it does do what it says on the tin, left a reflective and covered most of the light imperfections off, however has not lasted despite me coating it with the paste wax

certainly the car look shiney as new and defenelty gives a deeper vibrancy to the car.

I dont think the wax is up to the task of keeping a solid coat, as after washing the car later i could see the imperfection appear again.

Car was clayed before hand, i have put another coat of wax on. however through the keen eye i can spot the 'light' swirls in the paintwork surface.

i will probably try to source a harder more durable lasting wax.

wax came in at £10.79

quick question if anybody wants to answer nicely

Can i glaze over my car or do i need to do the whole process again

I heard somewhere you can glaze over wax for a the effects, obviously only lasting a few days.

was think of glazing again and possible rewaxing....

uber protections and shine biggrin

if this is stupid or not recommend just let me know.....

You can glaze again, but it offers zero protection so will dissapear quickly, you will need to seal it in again.

It won't add too much more shine, but layering coats of the Natty's should give a deeper finish. It will also make it much more durable, a single coat will never last long. If you are after a more durable finich it would be worth getting something like Collonite over the top.

I don't think you will add much more shine, most of a high shine finish is in the prep before the wax, but give it a go and see what you like

If you have swirl marks you have to polish them out first, no amount of claying will take out swirl.

PB's Diamond White is actually a filler, rather than a pure glaze so does a reasonable job of hiding swirls. Don't think the OP used a clay bar, but always worth it in advance of a correction session, even if it's with a filler life Dia White or SRP
