Midnight Glaze & Sealant
What is Paint Correction Glaze and Sealant?
Paint correction glaze and sealant is used in detailing to enhance and protect a vehicle’s paint. It helps remove swirl marks, scratches, water spots, and oxidation while leaving behind a smooth, glossy finish.
The glaze fills in fine scratches and marks, boosting the paint’s vibrancy and depth. It creates a slick appearance that makes dark-colored vehicles especially pop with a deep shine.
The sealant forms a protective barrier against UV rays, dirt, and contaminants. This keeps your paint looking sharp and glossy for longer, helping prevent fading and surface damage.
What Ingredients Are in Paint Correction Glaze and Sealant?
Ingredients vary by brand, but there are a few commonly found components in both the glaze and sealant formulas.
In the glaze portion, you'll often find:
– Fillers to mask fine scratches and swirls.
– Polymers to deepen gloss and color richness.
– Oils or lubrication to help spread the glaze evenly.
In the sealant portion, common ingredients include:
– Synthetic polymers like acrylics or silicones that form the protective coat.
– UV inhibitors that block harmful sun rays and prevent fading.
– Antioxidants to slow oxidation and surface aging.
Solvents make the sealant easier to apply, while crosslinking agents help bind everything into a durable, long-lasting layer that clings to the paint for maximum protection.
How to Use Paint Correction Glaze and Sealant
Application methods vary, but the general steps remain consistent across most brands. Begin by washing and drying your car thoroughly to ensure a clean surface.
Shake the bottle well before use. Apply a few small dots to an applicator pad or polishing machine. Then buff the product into the paint in circular motions using light pressure.
Let the product sit for around 10 minutes so it can properly bond to the surface. This bonding time is key to achieving long-lasting protection and maximum shine.
Finally, wipe off any residue with a clean microfiber towel. This leaves behind a brilliant, glossy finish while removing excess product for a flawless appearance.
