Hey everyone, I just bought some meguiars glaze the other day to kind of see how it looks on my blue civic ex. Well the thing is I don't know when to put it on. Do I put it on before the wax or after the wax? Sorry if this sounds kind of silly, but I did a search on it and couldn't find my question. Thanks for your help!

Exactly right, be4 wax and then cover with a good quality wax to seal in the shine...I suggest Meguiar's Gold Class

when using the meguiers 3 step, after each step, how long should you wait to go on to the next step?

I really don't think you need to wait at all

No need to wait. Just make sure you get all the residue off before proceeding to your next application. I usually go over the car twice with the terry towels and then go over it with meg's quick detailer before doing the next step. It removes any left over residue and helps smooth the polish, wax, what have you..

what about for the wax, how long should it be left to dry, before taking it off with a towel?

Mbow

That's an infamous "it depends" question. It depends on which brand and type of wax you are using.

ohh. meguries gold class liquid wax

just as long as you rub the wax well into the surface, you can buff it off as soon as u want (at least, that's my understanding)..
i usually work on one panel at a time... i.e. wax the fender, buff it, then wax the drivers door, then buff it, and so on

Meg's gold takes a while to completely dry. I would leave it on for 30mins and then take it off. I have found that taking it off earlier is a pain in the butt. The outside is hazed over but the inside is still pretty wet causing you to smear it around quite a bit when taking it off.

aight.
