Ones a glaze and the other is a wax, not the same products. The wax is meant to compliment the glaze. This comparision is like comparing a cutting compound to a polishing compound. Both products are awseome and even better when used together.
I've seen and done it both ways when I was for cg, circular motion is great lets you know if you missed a spot, instant ne able to see it but increase chances of swirl marks, straight strokes have to go over the area a couple times to make sure that the area was completely covered. I was trained both ways each method has its pros and cons, even seen Greg apply wax I'm both circular and straight strokes.
Used by them selves on a black car I liked the black light. I didn't have any problem taking either one off but black light is a little bit thicker applying.
what was the final verdict? couldn't really tell from the camera angle and overcast sky. And the sound got muffled and muted at the end (hopefully not my headphones). good video. well done !
The cam got all glitch, going to replace it soon, really starting to fail on me. The butter wet wax gives a better shine, but the black light glaze gives a darker deep look. But if I had to choose just one, I would go with butter wet wax, and if I really wanted the wax to last I would add Polycharger wax booster to it. Both are great, but CG and many companies over exaggerate what glazes do. any other questions let me know, I Have tested and used every CG product besides their paste waxes that are $750+
+Ryder'sCove appreciate the reply !! I thought it was my headphones lol. Good to know because I was trying to figure out how they fared. My question to you is I'm a long time Zaino user. I've used other stuff but was happy with the long term durability of Zaino. Paint is darkish blue and I'm really looking to start from scratch and am focused on getting both the depth and shine for the intl auto show where my car will be displayed next month. My thoughts were clay, vss with a yellow pad (porter xp) and then was thinking a glaze and then sealant like jet coat or z2 and on top something like the butter wax or step up to the black series or a carnauba. Any thoughts or recommendations would be welcome !! As long as it's epic for the week and a half I'm happy no concerns of long term durability in this instance 👍🏼
Depends on how much damage there is, using VSS with yellow will take off moderate damage might need to step it up to something more aggressive, do test spots, also might need to do a final polish to make sure the finish on the paint is spot on, I usually put sealant first since the sealant will last longer if placed directly on the paint, I myself have experimented by putting glaze first vs sealant first and they both came out the same but which ever you decide to apply first will come out great, there is pros and cons to which one you do first, and I would go with a paste wax or something of great quality don't cheap out, anything else let me know
The way I would go about would be clay, V32 or V34 Depending on how the test spots turned out the best with an orange cutting pad, v38 with white polishing pad, then either black light or sealant, which ever way you prefer and paste wax, anything else let me know
+Ryder'sCove appreciate it !! The paint is in good shape as it is. Seems a little soft to me scuffs easily but no deep scratches or contamination. One coat of Zaino z5 and all swirls are pretty much gone so that's why I kind of just stuck with Zaino with it just topping it off with z2x2 and clear seal. I was thinking vss would be enough to clean up the light scratches especially given the clear seems soft. But like you suggested I'll try a little first and see if it is aggressive enough to clean it up. Regarding paste wax I was thinking pinnacle souveran or something similar but I don't have any personal experience with it. Again many thanks for the input :)
I think you're comparing apples to oranges because the black light is a glaze and the butter wet wax is a sealant wax. I use the butter wax over the black light and I haven't washed my truck in a while due to rain, so my truck is super dirty and I can feel the wax still. You also said you still have to polish your car. Wax can't do it's job if the proper techniques haven't been achieved. I'm not raggin on you for making this vid, but I do think you should follow their wash and polish process to really see the difference your car can look.
Definitely are great products, learned a bunch of things from working at cg, depending on what you want to achieve will determine which product will be best
black light then wax, black light will last longer then butter wet wax because its part sealant, longest I have ever had it last was 4 months but I was constantly maintaining it like crazy, butter wet wax will last about 3-4 weeks, pros and cons to putting one before the other, but that's the way I do it, any other questions let me know
Petes 53 awesome paste wax, once you start using the more expensive ones you really don't see the difference but they do last longer on your paint if you dont use a power washer. Cg has started raising prices on there waxes.
I would suggest not seeing a difference is more with you. I own and use four different of their canister waxes and each has it's own character, so what I choose and in what order is all about what that particular wax brings to the surface of the vehicle. (I have Pete's 53, Black, XXX, and 50/50, in addition to a selection of their glazes, sealants, and liquid waxes.)
sealent goes before the butter wet wax man if your detailing. the jet sealant acts as a extra layer to protect the paint. the wax then goes ontop to give it a extra shine and protection. if you got questions call chemical guys and they can explain everything.
Butter wet wax and black light do cause cause scratches and neither does the foam pad, used it hundreds of times and many others have as well with zero reports of micro marring
@@RydersCove I never mar my car with foam pads either. I don't know the science behind it never scratched once on me. I use Black Light and Butter Wet wax same as you. Very slick and gloss.
Owen Steele the foam isn’t hard enough to cause any marring, and the products have many lubricants to make it run smooth during application. I always preach on getting the safety data sheets that shows the chemicals in products and research them.
Lmfao he doesn’t know the difference between the products FYI here’s the steps 1- wash the car then clay bar then rinse. 2- wax and buff entire area.(butter wax) 3- apply glase (black light) over the freshly waxed car let dry and buff again 4- park car for a few hours to cure the shell
You do know the black light has aluminum oxide right? And it also has carnauba wax in it. This was a comparison as many people have asked if they had to choose 1 product which would be the best for them. Black light will let a lot longer then butter wet wax. In fact most people put butter wet wax on top of black light. I would skip butterwet wax as it’s not needed since blacklight has Bette protective properties. All this is reported on their MSDS.
This video was made to compare the two products against each other. You should read the MSDS for these products, I know these products because I dealt with them day in and day out. You should do more research.
How and why would you and could you compare them? They’re two completely different products designed to do two completely different things... if you have worked with them surely you would know this? Not digging, you’re car looks great, just want to understand your reasoning for the comparison is all.
Michael Wardle they are actually very similar on a chemical basis after looking at the Material safety data sheets, just because the label says they are different doesn’t make it so, and besides many people would ask me which is better as a stand alone product, and the whole filling scratch properties is a bit BS they both do it equally
Michael Wardle an even closer comparison is black and jet seal, there is only two things that separate those products, 1) pigment,2) jet seal and polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon,omniflon), Chemical Guys products are all based on a base formula, same with all Detail sprays, soaps, cleaners, Compound and polish, it’s all really 1-3 chemicals that make them different and a slight change in ratio
