Megs #7...

[hrspwr00v6]

How do i use this stuff? i bought it on a whim cause i thought i remember that a glaze can fill up minor marring etc. is it just a wipe on whipe off product?



this is on a black 05 saturn redline btw. :bounce

I believe so. That`s how #81 is used and it`s similar to #7.

#7 is the trickiest of the Meg`s Pure Polishes. Yeah, it`s a w-o-w-o, but you can apply it to the whole vehicle before you start to wipe it off if you like. Mike Phillips posted the definitive thread on using #7, it`s well worth the dreaded search.

actually it can easily be found in the hall of fame section

I just spent some time with #7, within the last couple hours. Once you know the tricks it`s as easy as anything else.



The harder you push when you wipe, the harder it is to remove. Use a soft terry in one hand and a microfiber in the other. Pretend that you are trying to remove the top layer of #7 with the terry, wiping very gently; you`ll have a thin oily sheen left if you do it right. Remove the sheen as normally with the microfiber.

I thought #81 was a light polish (some slight abrasive qualities) that worked well by being worked in to actually REMOVE slight marring (such as that left by #83) while #7 was a pure glaze (no abrasives, only filling qualities)?

Ive tried to search for #s before and it wouldn`t let me, is there another way since everyone refers to the products by # only most of the time?

Yeah, all the Meg`s "pure polishes" (#3/#5/#7/#81) are functionally nonabrasive on automotive paint. Even on the soft lacquer on my Jag.

Cool thanks this will help a lot, I find myself not being able to search for megs stuff, but now I can.

:furious: well. my plans did not come to fruition as expected.used #7 with a white pad (as per the pc usage guide that i downloaded over a year ago. but unfortunately, it seems as though saturn paint is soft or something, cause well it micromarred the `dent resistant` panels. is there a trick to doing saturns that i missed somewhere?

[JustinR32]

The pad would have been what was doing the marring; #7 is basically all oil. Whose white pad did you use? Is it a finishing pad?



Yesterday I used #7 with a Meguiar`s tan finishing pad, speed 1.5. No marring whatsoever, and Mazda paint is known to be very soft.



We can get to the bottom of this, hrspwr00v6! Can you post some pics maybe?
