Default 3m Imperial Hand Glaze Amazing

Just wanted to ranted about how good 3M Imperial Hand Glaze is. I had about 20 to 30 minor to slightly bad scratches on my hood. Was so damn worried about it looking bad forever. Then someone suggested I use the 3M Hand Glaze. I just washed off the hood to test. And boy what a difference. Hopefully I can get some picture of before and after up later. now for some questions

is it ok to wax after using the glaze?

how often should i reglaze?

where is the best place to buy more of it?

lastly, what price is everyone paying for it? I payed 9.50 last time plus 5 shipping at autosupermart.com

Thanks for listening haha

From what I understand you are supposed to wax immediately after glazing. Also go to www.carcarespecialties.com ( I think that is it) they have great info. and best prices on products.
