    which product to use?

    I am looking to detail my 07 tundra blue streak metalic using meguiars product line of:
    Clay Bar
    ultimate compound
    Meguiar's Show Car Glaze #7
    Nxt Tech 2.0 wax.
    I was thinking is m205 something i would want to substitute for the show car glaze 7? My understanding is that m205 is a second step, finishing step behind m105 that works on fine scratches and #7 is just a polish. I was thinking m205 would eliminate and scratches UC would miss and also act like a polish. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    others may disagree but i would stick with #7. Using an abrasive polish after UC seems like your repeating a step. I will watch this post to see what everyone else thinks.
    Am i obsessed?? A car is the second biggest financial investment for most people, why not keep it looking better than new?

      Heres what I do ...

      -Wash (Two Buckets) GC wash
      -Clay , smooth surface clay kit
      -Clean , Use Ultimate Compound or M105
      -Clean, Follow with Swirl Remover 2.0 or M205( optional, if ultimate compound leaves its own swirls)
      -Polish, #7 show car Glaze ( I think this is a must)
      -Wash, wash again quickly too remove any dust from previous steps
      -Wax, A thin layer of NXT or other wax
      -Wax, another thin layer to ensure no spots were missed

          I personally love number 7 more than any thing else, I think it makes the paint pop better than anything else, I guess it is optional but i cant edit my post now

            On some paints, UC/#105 may leave some marring behind, other paints will come out perfect.

            So just a matter of using something milder to follow up if needed.

              I think for dark colored cars they are a must. With my experience (limited) i have seen it makes a world of difference.

                  Washing after applying the M07 is a bit of a waste considering the layer of glaze you just layed down will be washed off.

                    I agree, but if the car gets that dusty then i would touch up with quick detail and microfiber towel
