Does a Pure Polish/Glaze really add anything to a perfectly prepped panel?

Meguiars pure polishes, especially #3 by machine and #7 by hand (Wow! #7) DO actually add to the finish.

They are quite unique products and a sheer pleasure to work with.


Single stage paint is another matter

I agree.

I quoted you and then surgically cut out everything but the really strong portions and bolded the key points.

Anyone that's ever worked on an old school single stage paint can appreciate products like #3 and #7, M05, M09, M81 are no slouches, but #3 and especially #7 are very unique products in the paint polishing industry.

#7 has been around near as I can tell since sometime in the 1930's and maybe the 1920's in some form or other....

Actually, re-reading the initial question: Does a Pure Polish/Glaze really add anything to a perfectly prepped panel? one could argue that a pure polish used at the end of a polishing set is actually part of perfectly preparing a panel.

I agree that #7 is more noticeable on dark colors. I use it for about 7 years now, so this is my opinion..

If by some ill fate Meguiar's reverted back to a one-man garage operation, I'd truly hope #7 is the product they would choose to perpetuate. I've been using it since the early 70's and have yet to find a car on which it made no difference.
