Question on #7 - Show Car Glaze

[glenndale]

Is #7 - Show Car Glaze can be considered as paint sealant? I read some description on the back like to apply it first then apply #26 - Hi-Tech Yellow Wax for maximum protection. Or its just a polish? Can it do the same protection of #21 - Synthetic Sealant ?

Re: Question on #7 - Show Car Glaze

M07 is a pure polish, it will put oils into the paint that will give that amazing deep wet look but it doesn't offer any protection at all.

In the back it tell you to apply M26 because you'll want to seal those oils for them to last longer as you'll be locking them.

What he said. #7 is intended to bring back the beauty of the paint by replenishing oils and such, but it is NOT a sealant or a wax in ANY way.

Re: Question on #7 - Show Car Glaze

#7 is in a way to rejuvenate. Just to replenish in the paint what the elements remove. No wax or sealant.

#7 is a real nice product. Just top with #26, #20, #21 heck even NXt or Gold class .

Re: Question on #7 - Show Car Glaze

I'm sorry for bringing this thread back from the death. Is it a good idea to do 105, then 205, then 7 and top it with 21? Or 7 is not needed after I did 205?

M205 is a cleaner/polish and should leave the finished clear and glossy when used correctly with no need for an application of another polish after it's use.

Meguiar's always states that applying a pure polish is an optional step, you don't have to do it but a lot of serious enthusiast choose to do this optional step in an effort to maximize gloss, depth and clarity.

Another good option is Deep Crystal Polish, M81 Hand Polish or M03 Machine Glaze which you can apply all of these by hand or with a DA Polisher. They are all non-abrasive pure polishes for maximizing gloss and clarity.

Kind of a personal choice but all the pictures shows so far since M205 has been introduced have been pictures that reveal show car results...

The wet look first comes from getting the paint as smooth as possible and as clean as possible, (clean = defect free).

Is this a new car with paint in excellent condition?

Re: Question on #7 - Show Car Glaze

I have a black car and well understand the desire to create as wet and deep a look as possible.

May I suggest that you perhaps play it by ear. It sounds like you are planning a major detailing session: wash, clay, 105, 205, #7, and wax. How much time are you allotting for this? I'm slower than most here. For me this process would take two full days. Why don't you just wait to see how you feel and how your car looks after you have polished with 205? You car may well look so superb that you will not feel like you need to add, or even can add, anything more; or you may feel so tired that you will just have to move directly to wax, lest you drop dead from sheer exhaustion.

But #7 is fun to apply, even if it is hard to see much of a difference on a well-prepped surface.

Re: Question on #7 - Show Car Glaze

I have already claybar the car, did 105, 205, then 21. However, the result wasn't what I wanted. I think that is because im a noob at this and I didnt do it right. I was able to remove half of the swirls but not all. I used 105 with the W8006 pad, I tried it with the new 2.0 W8207 pad but even with light pressure, the pad WON'T spin. I might be wrong but seem like the new 7" pad is a bit too big for the PC. Right now the paint is smooth and shiny but it doesn't have that wet look. Everything was done with the PC7424. I'm thinking about getting the Flex to remove the swirls a bit better.

Oh btw, the car is a 2006 Onyx Black IS.

Re: Question on #7 - Show Car Glaze

You're using a Porter Cable unit?

If so, it doesn't have as much power as our G110 or G220 and this might show up in a lesser ability to rotate our 7" pads.

Have you read this?

If you're moving up to machine polishing, be sure to read the below thread before starting...
Tips & Techniques for using the G110, G100, G220 and the PC Dual Action Polisher
(These are all similar tools)

If you're doing more serious defect removal then Mike, even with a G110, would going back to the old 6.5 inch polishing pads perhaps be helpful compared to the 7-inch 2.0 pads?

I'm Like you. It took me several days to fully remove all the defects of my Black Civic and it was: m83, M80, NXT. All by DA.
