M07?

[CumminsCrazed]

Hey guys...im contemplating buying a bottle of this and trying it out on my C10 show truck. Does this stuff replace the need for a wax, or is this product for after compounds but before waxes. Just not exactly sure what process to use when/if i get this to try it out. Also, is M07 recommended to be applied/removed by hand or machine.

Let me know guys.

Thanks!
C.C.

It is a pure polish. So it would go:

1. Wash
2. Clay
3. Clean
4. Pure Polish
5. Wax - 2 thin coats are best.

You can use it by hand or machine, but probably easiest to just test it when you first get it by hand.

Re: M07?

While the normal course of use for this product would be to seal it with your LSP, I would always apply it OVER the LSP just prior to a show. I'd reapply an LSP after the show. This product tends to make the paint look like it has just been sprayed and is still wet. If your intent is to show your truck, try applying it by hand right before the show. It does take a technique to apply and remove. The product doesn't really dry, it skins over. I apply to a panel at a time and then cut the skin and remove most of the residue with cotton towels. I follow with plush MF towels.

Re: M07?

i see...i posted a couple pics of my truck prior to your post Jim but it had to be approved by a mod??

Also, i still have NO clue what LSP stands for....ive heard it used tons at Autopia as well as here, so could someone fill me in on what LSP stands for?

Re: M07?

Not sure how the approval thing works.... Didnt have to go through it way back when I joined.

Re: M07?

well, when i posted pics in my intro thread.....i had to wait for approval of that and now this post too so idk

Anyway, Back on topic....how long does #7 Glaze last when topped with an LSP? Do the oils of it come through the LSP and get washed out/off thus losing its "wetness" or does the LSP completely seal it until clayed, or otherwise stripped off?

Re: M07?

Well, its all microscopicly thin layers, so I dont know about diffusing through the wax, it miight just all wear away together.

It definatly lasts longer when topped with a wax, if that helps.

Re: M07?

ok cool, so if/when i use it, def top it with an LSP?

[Murr1525]

Re: M07?

As mentioned, some people will use it on top at shows, but with the understanding it wont last long.

If you want it to last, it will need some kind of wax over it.

Re: M07?

yup....another thought that was mentioned.....was apply it before a show, without an LSP, and then after the show apply LSP so it has the super wet look at show but is protected after show.

However, why would applying an LSP over it make it not look as wet, at least thats how it sounds to me?

Re: M07?

Its all in the eyes of the beholder... Same as using different waxes or different polishes, whatever that person felt looked best.
