    How to use Meguiar

    A lot of people told me that is not easy to use the Meguiars mirror glaze #7. I want to learn how to apply and remove it from a black car. And witch pad should i use to get the best results? Ive heard that it can not be removed like any wax or polish.

    Thank you all!!!!

    Re: How to use Meguiar

    You could use a polishing pad by machine, or just a smooth foam applicator by hand.

    You want to apply it a bit thin like wax, so you dont have lots of excess. Some people like to do a panel or so at a time, some do the whole car.

    Then you would buff the panel with a clean towel to remove most of the excess from a few panels. Then buff it again to remove the rest.

      Thanks for your quick response, But also my car have some swirls and hollograms from a previous bad polish and i was thinking to use the swirl X to. So first use the Swirl X, then #7 and finish with #26 carnauba wax?

      Thanks!!!

        Are you working by hand or machine?

          I would do one panel at a time and buff it off. Treat it like a polish and do not let it dry like a wax, it is a pain to get off once dried.

            I've been using #7 for over 30 years and swearing at it for about the same length of time. Last year, thanks to Mike Phillips from Autogeek (a former Meguiar's trainer), I learned a "best practice", at least for me. I suggest you give it a try. Take a typical 16" x16" MF cloth and fold it into quarters. Fold it one more time to form a 4" X 8" applicator. Pour a narrow stripe of M07 down the center, pinch the sides with your thumb and little finger, keeping your palm and remaining three fingers flat on the surface and rub it in with a bit of pressure until there's just a barely visible film remaining. You can remove it after each panel or let it dry longer without any hassle. On porous single-stage paints, I'll actually let it soak in overnight and do a second and third application to reap the most benefit. I've tried terrycloth and MF applicators as well as the foam pads I use on virtually every other product, but nothing has worked near as well for me as the MF cloth.
            As I said, give it a try. You have nothing to risk other than soiling a MF cloth.
