About a month ago I detailed the exterior of my car, color is AM Antercite Metallic (sorry no pictures):
Wash
Clay
Omptimum Polish
Omptimum Hyper Compound
Omptimum Poli-Seal
3 coats of 4*UPP
In between that month I washed the car 3 times and today I put on another coat of 4*UPP.
My question is what can I use before or after 4*UPP:
1. That will keep the polish on car? Not sure if that makes sense?
2. That will make the paint shine(look really wet) even more?
3. What is the difference b/t glaze and sealant?
Can you guys also reccomend something that I can put on the wheels not the tires? Or can I use the polishes that I have or the 4*UPP.
Thanks!

As for your questions, lets start with #1.
#1 Answer: your right, it doesnt make sense after defining "polish", but I think your looking for an enhancer? Why not use Optimum Quick Detailer & Gloss Enhancer? Its about as slick as they come, and contains polymer resins which add that wet look.
#2 Answer: See #1.
#3 Answer: Glazes are short term products which contain oils and fillers (Often Kaolin Clays) that add glow, depth and reflective qualities to all painted surfaces. Plain and simple.
Some, like CG's EZ Creme Glaze, which contains protective properties as well. Sort of like an all in one glaze if you will. Extraordinairy product, be it DWG or CG EZCG.
Any of the above polishes (OP, HC) can be used on wheels to clean them up pior to topping with protection. I wouldnt recommend the EZ Creme though as the wheels just heat up too damn hot for any sustainability and protection. UPP would be a great choice, its about as easy as they come. I would recommend at a minimum, you use a quick detailer before drying them off, make a habit of it! Makes cleaning a heck of a lot easier! A really good choice, and dont ask me why but it works (Especially since I just condoned using a glaze) is Clearkote Vanilla MooseWax Glaze. The stuff is awesome on everything it touches.
Heres a search on the stuff, and you can see how much attention it gets!
