When detailing a car with good paint can you start glaze and then use cleaner wax?

When detailing a car with good paint, it's not recommended to start with a glaze and then use cleaner wax. The purpose of a glaze is usually to enhance the shine and depth of the paint, and it's typically used after paint correction (e.g., compounding and polishing) to remove any minor swirls or imperfections. Cleaner wax, on the other hand, is used as a final step in the detailing process to remove light surface contaminants, add a bit of shine, and provide some protection.

Here's a more typical detailing process for a car with good paint:

1. Wash the car with car wash soap and water to remove dirt and grime.

2. Dry the car thoroughly using a microfiber towel or drying aid.

3. Apply a paint cleaner or polish to remove any minor swirls, scratches, or imperfections.

4. Rinse the car thoroughly to remove any residue from the cleaner or polish.

5. Dry the car thoroughly again.

6. Apply a sealant or wax to protect the paint.

Glaze can be applied after the sealant or wax as an optional step to add extra gloss and enhance the shine of the paint. However, some glazes can be abrasive, so it's important to choose a non-abrasive glaze if you plan to use one.

It's also important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific products you're using, as different products may have different application and curing times.
