3M Hand Glaze liquid automotive glaze 16 fl oz (39007) — silicone- and wax-free, showroom gloss

3M Hand Glaze 39007 is a professional-grade, silicone- and wax-free liquid glaze that restores a deep, showroom-quality shine to automotive paints when applied by hand.

Designed for use in paint shops and sheltered work areas, this 16 fl oz (473 mL) bottle delivers a gloss-optimized finish that enhances color depth and creates an "almost-wet" appearance without adding silicone or wax. The formula is safe for modern clear coats and a variety of refinish and factory-applied paints, making it suitable for final touch-ups, cleanup after machine polishing, or conditioning new paint jobs.

How does 3M Hand Glaze improve paint appearance?

Hand Glaze fills micro-imperfections and evens out light reflection to increase perceived depth and shine. It doesn't leave a waxy film, so the finish looks natural and highly reflective under light.

• Brightens color and increases surface gloss quickly by hand.
• Removes fine residue and polishing haze after machine work.
• Produces a wet-look brilliance that accentuates contours and lines.

What surfaces is this glaze safe for and how should it be used?

The 3M formula was developed to be clear coat and paint-shop safe across most factory and refinish paints; however, always test in an inconspicuous area first. Apply in a shaded or indoor area on cool panels, using a soft microfiber cloth to work the glaze into the surface and buff to a high gloss.

• Compatible with clear coats and OEM/refinish paint systems when used as directed.
• Best applied with a 3M Microfiber Detail Cloth (PN 06016) or equivalent lint-free towel.
• Avoid applying in direct sunlight or onto hot panels to prevent streaking.

How does 3M Hand Glaze fit into a detailing workflow?

Use Hand Glaze as a final finishing step after compounding and polishing to remove small polish residues and further boost gloss. It’s also useful for quick refreshes when you need immediate visual improvement without a full re-polish.

• Use after machine polishing to clean up splatter and enhance gloss.
• Apply by hand for spot corrections or full-panel finishing.
• Helps condition fresh paint and revives older finishes between major services.

• Restores a brilliant shine and sparkle to automotive paints
