I copper colored car and got some# 7. I plan on doing correction with m205. Can i polish after m205 and then seal....or is it pointless. I've never used a pure polish before so idk. I just want it o" omg" when im done....,ideas?

Re: so i use polish?

The first question I would ask, will M205 fully correct the current surface imperfections?

Meguiar's #7 is a glaze. Glazes by design contain fillers and no abrasives. They fill minor imperfections and give outstanding shine but offer little protection. When I use M205 I generally follow it up with either a sealant or wax.

Yes. M205 on a orange or yellow LC pad will correct my paint. And then i could apply the glaze and then seal it? Do glazes help with depth on copper?

With Meguiar's M205 you'll want to use a polishing pad. I use a Lake Country white or green pad when using M205.

Because glazes are designed to fill minor imperfections then yes, glaze then a sealant. Be sure you follow the manufactures instructions on the label. Some product require a curing time before top coating with another product.

What about the polishing oils in M205? Insn't M07 after M205 redundant... or do the polishing oils in M205 pale in comparison to the oils in a pure polish like M07.

#7 will have much more oil, so not the same.

But it depends on the paint, color, person, etc if you would see a difference.

Something I do is after using a product like M205 I wipe down the area with Isopropyl Alcohol for two reasons; Clean the area for inspection and removing residual oils and contaminates for the next step, in this case #7 Glaze.

I decided not to use polish any more on my cars/bikes. No need really.

#21, after claying and paint correcting.
