wax vs sealant vs glaze

[eksplosivejoe13]

can someone tell me what the what are the uses/ pros and cons of each are?

Glaze is totally different from wax and sealants. Glaze usually has a very little cutting ability if any and may contain fillers to hide imperfections.

Wax and sealants are similar. Wax is made from carnauba and sealants are mostly synthetic.
IMO wax looks better but sealants usually last longer. Hope this helps

To be more detailed
Wax-nature made (carnuaba) and gives you that "wet look"
Sealants are man made and are more reflective but are evolving and getting closer to the wet look
Glaze's oil based increases the wet look but generally don't last long and most sealants can not be used w/this type
Gaze that are acrylic based increase gloss and reflective look and work well with both wax and sealants.

Are glazes always necessary?
