Default Some pics after hand glaze and wax

After getting abused the whole winter with road salt, I decided to give the SC some well deserved treatment. After a good wash, I used 3M Imperial Hand Glaze followed with a coat of Zymol. I let that cure for a day and followed up with another coat of Zymol. Should I have polished somewhere in between there? Or is glaze essentially the same? I'm satisfied with the results but my camera really doesn't do the paint justice, the color is deep and rich, not dull like the pics show.

BTW, how long does it normally take you guys to glaze/wax your car? I must be the slowest person in history, it took me close to five hours to finish up!

Car looks awesome Technics!

As for how long it takes I think that’s in direct relation to how much you love your car multiplied how ****-retentive you are about it. Don't feel too bad, it takes me forever as well.
