I've used Show Car Glaze on a few vehicles in the past, but since they were newer and all had been sealed previously I didn't really notice an appreciable difference.
Well, now I'm a believer. After three days of polishing on the '89 Vette Coupe I bought recently the paint really came to life after applying M07! So I applied a second coat of M07 and topped it with M21. Tomorrow I'll apply the second coat of M21 and then perhaps M16 this weekend. (Thanks for the tin, Nick!) The paint looks incredibly wet so I'm not sure it can look any better, but it will be well protected. Sure, it's a lot of work, but on my own vehicles it's worth it to me and I think this is something I'll use on those "make a big impression" jobs in the future. Before and after photos and reflecton shots coming soon to a "Show off your latest detail" thread near you.
A few tips from what I learned today using M07. You pros correct me if I'm wrong. It can be very difficult to remove if it's applied too thick and/or is allowed to dry. It also helps immensely to wipe it off very slowly. (while still wet) Wiping with fast strokes makes more work and does not remove the product correctly or efficiently causing smears. Since it's so hot it did dry in some areas before I could get to it so I used the applicator to moisten the dried product and then wiped it off immediately.
If you haven't tried M07 yet or had bad luck with it in the past, give it another go. If I'm correct, the results will only last if you top it with sealant (M21 or NXT 2.0) or a good wax, though.
Hope this helps.

I tackled too large an area on my first tries making more work. Every car is different, so it will work better on some than others. I applied it after wiping the car with 50/50 isopropyl alcohol/water solution and ended up working a 3'x3' area with M07 by the time I was half way around the car. So I went ahead and applied a second coat. Took about an hour total. I'm sure I could cut that in half if I hussled.
