Since I've logged on this board, I have learned so much. This is the best school around. OK, now a question for my teachers. Recently I've started using the Meguiar's line. The so called professional line as they call it, does lack a little in the application directions. I guess they figure everyone knows how to use it. What is the best way to apply the #7 glaze. and remove it. How long do you let it sit? I put it on by hand, waited a few minutes, and removed by hand. What about removing it with a high speed? would that creat a higher gloss? what pad would I use, blue/green any and all meguiars fans and opinions I would appreciate...thanks tm https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,941,941#msg-941 Sun, 06 Sep 2026 14:41:09 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,941,990#msg-990 https://web-cars.com/phorum//read.php?1,941,990#msg-990

The #7 is an AWESOME prep for a complete detailing job. Yes, show car owners often use the #7 prior to a show, and no, it does not afford any protection to the paint's finish. But that is what the sealants are for.

The reason I prefer the orbital, is that it uses gentle pressure and low speed, letting you rub the snot out of the finish, working the polish around and letting it do it's work gently. Doing it by hand is good BUT, most people would wear out an arm by the time they finished buffing one panel.

Unfortunately, that's how #7 works the best, intense rubbing (meaning duration, not gorrilla-on-steroids pressure).

As for removal, you can start taking it off as soon as you finish the panel you're working on. Or if you're like me, I do the whole car, give myself a 10-15 minute break, then buff it off.

Remember though, the #7 is a PURE POLISH, and WILL leave smears on the paint, this is fine, because the #7 is never the 'final step,' you should ALWAYS apply carnuaba or a good sealant over top.

Truly the best Meguairs line is their Body Shop line of products. For a great polish you should try Speed Glaze, its a mean shine, dont let the name fool you, it is a polish not a glaze. In my opinion the red bottle stuff and the detailer line is, for the most part, a waste of time.
