It's a bottle of post-World War II MGH-7 Sealer and Reseal Glaze.

It looks like a very nice bottle and would be a great addition to anyone's collection.

I've got about 5-6 bottle of MGH-7 so don't think I'll be bidding... It's pretty cool the owner linked to MOL for prospective buyers to get more information.

Here's a small picture collection over the years...

That is a great find. Maybe I could talk the wife into it.

Re: Old Meguiar's Glaze

Some one should really shake that bottle before use.

Re: Old Meguiar's Glaze

I saw that too, was outbid on it though and can't afford more.

Hopefully it goes to a good home.

Still, looks good enough to be used! Getting a little $$$$

Re: Old Meguiar's Glaze

Well I just placed my bid... and was promply outbid!

I have a tan plastic bottle of #7 with the green print. Can anyone tell me about what timefram Meguiar's used this style bottle? I believe based on Mike's picture it was the one before the current bottle design.

Re: Old Meguiar's Glaze

Geeze...that price is way too much.

If it was a Mirror Bright or Buick Glaze bottle, I would understand, but this is a little much.


Phillip, I would be more than happy to trade for that old bottle of #7!

Lol, I remember that one. Didn't you break it earlier this year Mike during one of the classes during the Spring? That was my first class and one of the O.O!!!! things I reacted to

Talk about evolution....

Re: Old Meguiar's Glaze

Thanks for the offer, but I think I will hold on to my bottle.

Re: Old Meguiar's Glaze

A product is worth what people will pay for it but at the current price this morning of $43.00 that's on the high side of what these bottles usually go for.

But again, the market will determine what a collectible bottle is worth.

Happy sniping...

Re: Old Meguiar's Glaze

still holding at $43.00, 21 hours left.

Too much for this kid though (errr, the wifey I meant)

Re: Old Meguiar's Glaze

Let me just say this:

It is hard to place a price on these products because they are so difficult to find. The problem is that these products were used. It's not like a fine piece of jewelry that someone kept in a box and out of sight.

We are basically putting a price on history.

I always find it interesting to look at the products of the past and how they evolved into what they are today. For example, my old (and rusty) tin of MGH-8 tells how to apply it to your car. Now, it's known as M08 Mold Release Wax.

So while I can't afford to buy a vintage car from the 50's, I find it interesting to research what people used to keep them detailed.

Of the early Meguiar's bottles, the Mirror Glaze Sealer and Resealer MGH-7 is the easiest to find. The paint cleaners from that era are by far the hardest to find. If you find a Mirror Bright bottle, I strongly suggest you buy it. Also, Mirror Glaze made detailing products for Buick, so you will occasionally find Buick Glaze, Buick Cleaner, and Buick Chrome Polish. And, don't forget about the Mirror Bright Furniture Polish.
