Vehicle Application Tips & Instructions
Using Fire Glaze Micro Finishing Compound
To properly apply Fire Glaze, first wash the vehicle with soap and water and then dry the vehicle thoroughly. If mild oxidation exists, use Fire Glaze Micro Finishing Compound either by hand rubbing or with a machine buffer (max rpm 1500) to remove all oxidized paint. In either case, do not let the finishing compound dry to a haze. Simply rub it in until it disappears.
A note about metallic paints: If the vehicle you are putting Fire Glaze on has a metallic paint that has faded or is too far gone, nothing will bring back the luster or gloss even if you use a rubbing compound. The reason why is that metallic paints before 1977 were not acrylic metallics. They were lead-based metallics with a lacquer coating. When the sun burns off the lacquer coating, all you have left is the lead. Any polish applied to lead will turn black. You just cannot polish lead. However, any acrylic metallic after 1977, any lacquered paint job before 1977, any enamel paint job before 1977 and any acrylic enamel before 1977 can have Fire Glaze applied. Fire Glaze will restore the color of the paint on any vehicle as long as the paint is still on the vehicle and the primer is not showing through.
Applying Fire Glaze Polish
After you have used our Fire Glaze Micro Finishing Compound to remove old wax and oxidation and you have gotten the high gloss to appear on the vehicle, apply a coat of Fire Glaze Polish, but this time rub it lightly until the high gloss shine reappears. Do the entire vehicle a section at a time and do not let the polish dry to a haze. Again, just rub it until it shines. You should only apply Fire Glaze on a cool, dry surface, preferably in the shade.
You can take a small amount of Fire Glaze and actually “seal” your windshield by rubbing the polish into the glass until it disappears. Do the inside and outside of the windows. Fire Glaze is so unique, it will effectively stop aluminum and brass from oxidizing. It will polish silver, gold and enamel. Its uses are limitless. Its protection just can't be beat!
