Meguiar’s

This weekend I used these three products on my truck.

Meguiar’s #6 Cleaner/wax

Meguiar`s #7 Show Car Glaze

Meguiar`s Gold Classic


I don`t know if this is the correct way to polish but after I used number #7 I noticed a light oily film that required a little more muscle to remove. I was wondering if it was the way I applied the wax or am I using the wrong steps here.

Thanks :wait

I had the same problem when I used Mequiar`s. The film just seemed to smear around when I would try and remove it. It went away after a good wash though.

I used the Gold Classic after #7 and I still noticed the film. Does that mean I have to wash again?
Wouldn`t that defeat the purpose?

I noticed it all all of the produts I used from Mequiar`s. Mostly on the three step products you buy over the counter at most parts stores though. I just noticed the hazey smearyness was gone after a couple of washes. I have no clue why this happens.

Found this , its suppose;d to be like that

When #7 was developed, it was intended for single stage paints. It will work on BC/CC finishes, but like you have described, it is harder to remove. Meg`s #81 hand polish will give you the same results, but it was intended for use on BC/CC finishes and is easier to remove. Also, just my 2c, I would use a dedicated cleaner if you intend on following up on your third step with a wax or sealant.

Instead of using #6 use another product at the beginning or at the end?

It`s not going to hurt anyting, but if you intend on following up your regime with GC, why use a one step cleaner/wax to prep. I would use a dedicated paint cleaner, followed by a hand glaze and top with carnuba.

I`m lost now. The #6 shouldn`t be used often and it should be a different cleaner?

Thanks

I use Glaze before I put on my Wax
Steps
1. Meguiars DACP
2. Swirl Polish if neccessary
3. Show Car Glaze or Machine Glaze
4. Natty Wax, S100, Mullet Wax or Souvran

I was just remarking about how #6 is an all in one product, designed primarily to be used as a one step solution. It contains both chemical paint cleaners and a carnuba wax. If you are going to be applying other products during this process and another carnuba as a topper, why not use a dedicated paint cleaner that does not contain wax, followed by your glaze the GC. If you like it, use it. I was just curious.
