    Re: First polish/wax attempt was a disaster. Terrible results. Postmortem.

    I know why I have the Mothers balls from 7 years ago but for the life of me can't place why I have some of that rubbing and polish stuffs. I think it was in my dads collection when he passed.
    After I post this I am going to throw everything in the bye bye barrel.

    1)Ultimate compound
    2)Ultimate polish
    3)Ultimate wax is all I need.

    Those three in that order will fix you up. You might want to think about my after post thought too.

      Those TW products are very aggressive. Using it with the wrong powerball is what swirled up your paint. That powerball is meant for plastic headlights. Toss those TW products in the garbage and invest in ultimate compound an ultimate polish which are much better.

        I LOL'd when I saw that picture of "no. 7"
        I've never seen that product b4... Meguiars should sue the pants off that company, for giving #7 a bad rep. Lol.

          Ha... That was my initial thought.

          I wonder how on earth they got away with naming it No. 7?

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

            The same way chemical guys gets away with blatantly releasing "white wax"... They copy the idea, then the name, hype it up like it's the best thing since sliced bread.. And then have the nerve to overcharge for a cleaner wax. Smh.

              They're both riding meguiars coat tails so to speak. Unsuspecting people who don't know any better just reckonize the name and that's it. In a way it's free advertising .

                #7 was a Dupont product from days long past. They had a complete line of product all with "#7" as the main name.

                Dupont sold the #7 (or was bought by) to Cyclo Industries.

                Just for FYI...There is a #7 product that does state, "clear coat polish." But what the OP has on hand, well, that ain't it.

                  That green & white #7 product has been around since the 1920's. LOL.

                    Foam balls, cones or similar are generally used by our shop only on wheels and for getting behind door handles.
