New Car Glaze

Re: New Car Glaze

Maybe I am just imagining things, but #5 was extremely easy to apply and take off...however; it just didn't seem as deep as #7. I still have three bottles of #7 though so I may be biased. I have been using it since 1989.

#5 dries and when it dries it dries white.

#7 Doesn't really dry, and is more or less clear, (relative to opaque/white)

So what you're seeing could be the edge #7 has over #5 for richness, depth and clarity.

#7 is very unique and this uniqueness has created many die-hard fans over the last 70 to 80 years... that's a lot of car guys... many of whom have gone before us.

Re: New Car Glaze

I asked the same question after I'd already ordered #5.

You'll probably want to stick with #7, the newer product. #5 was for "new cars" way back before the two-stage paint became common and it's really too dry for most uses today. It happens to get quite humid in Cincinnati in the summer, so I can get away with it. Mike Phillips most offen recommends #7 over #5 because of the dryness.

If I remember correctly, M07 was for SS paint. The newer products for BC/CC is the 80 series line (M80, M81, M82, M83...)

Re: New Car Glaze

My #5 arrived with #83 and #80 today!
Just waiting for my G220 and then I will tell my experiences.

Re: New Car Glaze

#7 does have the highest concentration of the oils...

The thing I hate about #7 is in the summer months here in south florida when everything starts condensating (usually the time you want to detail due to low sun/heat) the #7 turns to almost like rubber cement on the finish.

Re: New Car Glaze

Trust me, M03 is one of the most under-rated products in the Pro line! Yes...it is that good. I am not sure if you have a rotary or not, but if you do, try it with the rotary spinning 1000 rpm. The liquid looking finish it leaves on the paint is incredible!

I once tested this product, seemed like the M07 but I applied it by hand, not rotary, I guess next time I use it I'll give it a shot with the rotary @ 1000rpm.

Re: New Car Glaze

Not yet Tim, but your recommendations always get me spending more and more money. A rotary and M03. My birthday is coming up...in 4 months.

Speaking of which, the M82 recommendation worked out very well!

Re: New Car Glaze

Thanks for clearing that up Tim! Although I don't know if that was helpful to me because now I will probably have to buy some since I don't have any!!!

Re: New Car Glaze

Actually, if you read the back of a M03 Machine Glaze bottle it states:

"METHOD OF APPLICATION: For use by rotary buffer only."
"For application by hand, D.A. polisher or orbital buffer, use Mirror Glaze Show Car GLaze #7."

Thanks, but as I said while it was designed to be used with the rotary in mind back on SS paint many years ago, it can be used with the DA and by hand. The reason why it states that on the back is that it tends to become a little greasy and does not work quite as easily in some cases compared to M07. With that said, I have used it for years and actually prefer it over M07.

And, like I quoted 2 year ago from Mike:

What's the difference between #3, #5 and #7?

#3 is formulated to be a very wet polish for use with a rotary buffer. This allows a users to work it longer without the #3 drying or gumming-up under time, heat and pressure.

Can it still be used by Hand? Why yes of course. I have met many people who prefer to use #3 by hand, over #7. It's called, Personal Preference. You'll never know what works best for you until you try it yourself. This product doesn't actually dry, it will skin, but not dry white like a wax or like the #5 New Car Glaze.

In the Meguiar's Pro Catalog it has been listed for as far back as I can recall that, including the new 2008: "Hand, Orbital, D/A Polisher, Rotary". I have no idea why the back of the bottle has a descrepency, but I will ask and find out and report back.

Re: New Car Glaze

Nope...it was designed with the rotary in mind and works extremely well with the rotary and a W-9006 pad at around 1000 rpm's, but it can also be used with the DA and by hand as well. In fact, many actually prefer using it by hand....

Re: New Car Glaze

I could have swore I read in other threads M03 was for machine (rotary) use only?

Re: New Car Glaze

Just to chime in...


Yes, all three of the pure polishes (M03, M05, M07) can be used with the DA.
