I am sure Mike applied just the right amount on the DVD. Been a while since I watched it.

But for anyone who's never used M07 that process can be an exercise in frustration. Our call center constantly receives calls from people who have applied it, or even a paint cleaner, in a typically overly thick coat to the whole car and just can't get it off once it's dry.
It can be really hard to convey the meaning of a "thin coat" in words, but telling someone to work an 18" x 18" (or whatever size) area for a minute or so and then wiping off while still wet is pretty straightforward.Michael Stoops

[QUOTE= How the heck can you easily remove M07?[/QUOTE]
I have had a couple of the same issues you have had with the M07.
For me the easiest method was to put in on with the DA polisher set on 2 with a finishing pad, so this is more like putting on wax. Or to put it on by hand.
Also dont work the product too long, 2-3 light passes is all that is really needed, then wipe the product off right away.
You will find yourself using a lot more microfiber towels to take it off as the oils seem to build up in the fibers thus making it harder to remove.
I have also noticed this product seems to be very temperature sensitive. Too hot or too cold makes a big difference in how easy it comes off. 65 degrees in a shaded garage seemed to be just right in my experience.
You might want to also try to work a smaller area, I usually do only 1/2 a panel at a time. Hope this helps.TrevorComment

Re: Mirror Glaze 7
M07 is not a wax and you do NOT let it dry. Wipe M07 on, slightly work it (to ensure even coverage), then immediately wipe off. If you make the mistake of letting it dry, you usually need to apply a very little bit more (to soften what is there) and then wipe.
And, since M07 is an oil to nuture paint, it does nothing for plastic like light-covers.
Best to not use the over-worked term "polish" (used by different companies to mean very different things: cleaners, glazes, waxes, etc). Think of M07 as a "glaze"/"oil", and other products as "cleaners" or "waxes" (although some A.I.O. products can be all 3 or some sub-combination)2010 XRSComment

Re: Mirror Glaze 7
I don't know what it is about 07 that makes people think it is a wax, but I have seen people do product comparisons with Meguiar's and a competitor's wax twice, once on Youtube and one a rather scientific study looking at microscratches on the paint.
I know it is called a polish, but I am not aware of waxes or sealants being called polishes on product labels, even though some people may refer to waxes as polishes.Comment

Re: Mirror Glaze 7
Maybe because it's oily? I don't know either. ODD.Comment

Kinda blows a comparison to bits when they're comparing different types of products, huh?Originally posted by Mary S View Post
There is at least one pretty high end boutique sealant maker who refers to their products as "polish" when just about everyone else would class them as sealants.Originally posted by Mary S View PostMichael Stoops

Re: Mirror Glaze 7
I was just looking at the bottle of 07. If it were sitting by itself with a bunch of other consumer items, I can see why you might look at it and think it was a wax or sealant, because of the photograph of the red shiny car that some of the other Mirror Glaze line waxes and sealants have, like 21 and 26. The look of the shiny car in the picture on the label might lead you to think it was a wax, and the way it goes on, it feels a bit similar to a wax. So I guess the mistake could be made.Comment

Re: Mirror Glaze 7
I believe NuFinish also calls their LSP "The Once aYear Car Polish."
As for LSP combinations I enjoy NXT 2.0 followed by M16, although I am all ears for other suggestions.
As for #7, I used it on my Dad's Forester a couple of weeks ago and it literally made the paint glow. I know it usually makes more of a difference on a single stage paint, but it was absolutely astonishing!Comment

Re: Mirror Glaze 7
I was in my local Walmart the other day and noticed that too. In fact, they have the paste form "polish," the spray form "polish" and another product that had the word polish in it that I finally deduced after looking at the label was their form of the spray quick detailer.Originally posted by Garage Troll View PostComment

Re: Mirror Glaze 7
would using colorX after m07 be pointless since it might clean off the oils from the m07?Comment

Re: Mirror Glaze 7
Yes, in my opinion. Color X has decent cleaning abilities, so it would certainly be removing M07.Originally posted by chris328 View PostComment

Re: Mirror Glaze 7
In the 1960 Corvette DVD I did apply a thin coat and then immediately went to work wiping it off.
Also note that the paint had just been completely polished to perfection and was a single stage, so it was easy to apply #7 to it and easy with good technique to remove it.
If you have years of experience applying and wiping products like #7 on and off a car then the whole car approach is a walk in the park, if you're new to detailing, then definitely stick to the panel-by-panel approach.
That car still runs around SoCal, you might even see it show up on a TNOG
