For De - Glazing CYLINDER BORES I used a tool called Flex Hone.
I've never heard of a "liquid" to do this job (but that means nothing !)
It sounds like a good option. HOWEVER, I'd be inclined to check with Millers before you use it with a roller bearing crank in a Zed. Also, its only 20w. I would not want to run such a light viscosity oil in a Zed motor - not even for a short time.

Unsure what you are trying to do. De-glazing normally refers to the cylinder bore, using a hone tool.

Looks like 'running-in' oil to me, used to use it for the first fill in a rebuilt engine back in my Mini days.
