    I am aware that glazes do not work underneath nano coatings since the nano coatings need a perfeclty clean surface so the nano particles can get into the pores of the paint, but would a polymer like power lock bond over the top of a glaze like Adam's Brilliant Glaze?

    No.
    Adam's Brilliant Glaze goes over power lock, not under.

    I seem to remember Dave Saunders doing Danase before powerlock, but I would think you're right joe....if glaze slid off over time, the PL on top would go with it right?

    Based on what I read on DW, glazes can go underneath PL (in particular Black Hole Glaze)

    Im not too familiar with Adams Glaze, but, in general, glazes only hide light scratches and swirls. They offer no protection.

    Glazes should be topped with a sealant.

    Yeah Adams advertises you to use the glaze then top with wax

    I wouldn't use glaze to hide swirls, I would use it to boost the wetness

    With most glazes (Menzerna/CG EZ Creme) they are supposed to hide light defects while increasing gloss

    i use ez creme under mpl all the time notice zero change in longevity ...seems to make mpl even slicker...but some time will cause mpl to smear when removing

    Some sealants can go under power lock. Adams Brilliant Glaze is not one of them. You can put carnuba on top of any glaze but you cannot put a sealant on top of all glazes.

    CG ez creme is one that is compatible with sealants, meaning it can go under the sealant and te sealant will still bond.
