is m07 worth it?

#80 is a light paint cleaner.

#9/#82 would be even milder, as far as pro products go.

Re: is m07 worth it?

I for one use M07 on just about every car I do. Its all on personal preference. The look you are trying to go for and how much money do you have. For me it seems to look really well on the darker colors and brings out a more deep rich tone to the car. I say give it a shoot and see what you think.

Re: is m07 worth it?

If you are in doubt. Do as some others have suggested. A test spot. I am thinking like some of the others. You have already used #80. There are a lot of polishing oils in it. I would just go to your lsp.

But try the test spot, if you see a noticeable difference do the whole vehicle. If not go right to your lsp. Good luck.

Re: is m07 worth it?

M7 is a "Pure Polish" as in it has no other products like UV protectors or any other synthetics in it

"Pure Polish" and other waxes are all waxes but some have additives as in NXT wax

What is that supposed to mean? M07 is not a wax in any sense of the word.

Let's see if we can help to clear up any confusion...

Meguiar's is unique in the car polish industry in that we offer two types of polishes, (actually pioneered these categories), these would be,

Pure Polishes
Non-abrasive, for use on paint in new or excellent condition. For creating gloss, clarity, depth, reflectivity and shine.

Our automotive polishes include, M03, M05, M07, M81 and Deep Crystal Polish



Cleaner/Polishes
Meguiar's cleaner/polishes are part polish and part cleaner, they are not as aggressive as a compound but offer good cleaning ability for their intended use which is usually to remove light swirls and scratches.

Our automotive cleaner/polishes include,

Consumer: SwirlX

Professional: M09, M80, M82, M83 and M205



MO7 or #7 Show Car Glaze is a body shop safe product, as such it contains no ingredients that could cause surface adhesion problems in a fresh paint environment. This would include any kind of car wax or any kind of protection ingredients found in a paint sealant.

It's actually water soluble which is the extreme opposite feature of a quality wax as a wax is supposed to protect your car's paint from inclement weather.

In the normal course of working on your car using a multiple-step process, after you've washed, clayed and then cleaned the paint to remove any below surface defects, the next thing you would do would be to apply a pure polish, (optional step), and then apply a coat or two using your favorite car wax or paint sealant.

Hope this clears up any confusion....

I just finished my brother in-laws car, I used m80x2 and then saw that m07 would help give a glossier look. I was pleased, my wife was very pleased, my brother in-law loved it. I then put Gold Class wax on man it looked GREAT!!!

Thats a lot of polish - M80, M07 and GC all contain polishing oils. I tend to find that M07 works best with pure carnauba based waxes such as M26. GC is a polish/wax and is a great choice for using right after the cleaning step.

Re: is m07 worth it?

I've used Meguires Hi Tech 26 for a while now, but with a different car without a clear coat it does a nice job but there are still some water marks in the paint. Since the detailing is by hand (not orbital) can anyone suggest a "process" of products that would be a good combination? I would always finish with the #26 but what steps by hand have others found to work best. The finish is really nice although I think it could be better !!

Re: is m07 worth it?

Hi, spider. If you want to remove water spots and other paint defects, you will need to use a cleaner/polish. I suggest that you begin with SwirlX, which is Meguiar's mildest polish that is readily available, and see if it effects the level of paint correction that you want. If it doesn't work, then you'll need to move up to the more aggressive Ultimate Compound. Both products are available at local auto stores. Follow the directions on the bottle.

Remember: always do a TEST SPOT first.
