Default Pinnacle XMT Series

I see with the intermediate swirl remover comes with a carnuba glaze. I was wondering after applying the carnuba glaze is it okay to use a synthetic wax over it?

im almost 100% sure that after applying a glaze that you can apply a sealant over it. Usually glazes have no cut at all and are usually used to fill in or cover up swirl marks. Im also interested in what people have to say about the pinnacle line up of polishes and swirl removers, Im about to purchase a large amount of products soon and was debating whether i should go the pinnacle route or Menzerna. Does anybody else have any input? thanks

Current shopping cart (Pinnacle Natural Brilliance line)
UDM w/CCS pads (ill be picking up some edge pads in the future)
Wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant
P21s Concours wax
Pinnacle advanced swirl remover
Pinnacle advanced finishing polish

Am I missing anything else??

most glazes are fine with product over them...
however, most dont have carnauba in them-

should be fine with a carnauba over it, but i dont think i would do a synthetic.

on a black car, the 3m glaze is a good choice- and i know that you can zaino over it with p21s on top cause thats what in my car in this ad:

if you want to stick with the pinnacle, i would do the p21s over it.

hey thanks for the input everyone.

I'm probably going to detail this weekend if i have a chance with the pinnacle lineup i have right now.

If i did experiment with the carnuba glaze and a synthetic over it would the outcome not be that great oppose to if I just did a synthetic and a carnuba over it?
