What's the difference between Meguairs #5 and #7 glazes? I need something that is safe and breathable for a repainted surface, and was reccomended to use #5. I can't find it in the store, but was able to find #7.
 
You just use #7 no problem.



I may be making this up but is #5 for todays modern CC while #7 leans towards SS paint? I use #7 all the time on my CC and love it, I know many others do too so I know it works great on CC.
 
I think #5 is supposed to be used in more humid climates where #7 can be difficult to work with. I'm not sure of the differences in results between the two.
 
Yeah, #5 is more humidity-friendly. They both do pretty much the same thing, but #5 dries more thoroughly and is thus more user-friendly. #7 has a higher oil content and doesn't really "dry" in the sense that #5 does, so it looks a little better at the expense of being trickier to work with.





And nah...#5 came out decades before there was b/c paint. It's not as old as #7 but it's still from the days of single stage. #81 is the one that's sorta that modern version of these types of products, so that's the one that's the most b/c-friendly (but they all work OK on both types of paint).
