Any recommendations on finding a pure polish?

No cleaning ability, just a polish. I believe Megs #7 is but I want an easier product to use.



Thanks guys!

If it doesn't clean then what does it do? IMHO this "pure polish" marketing hype of Meguiar's is just that nothing but pure hype.
 
A pure polish is really just for burnishing the paint to bring out a little more depth and gloss. The only one that i can think of off the top of my head would be Menzerna Final Polish II.

My definition of a polish -contains oils and abrasives that will level a surface and replace the paint's oils.



Surely an abrasive would by its nature 'clean' a surface.

Am I missing something?

Simple, #7 is a glaze. They are used to add depth and gloss to the paint prior to your LSP.



There is absolutely no standard in the way the term polish is used in the industry. All "pure polish" means is a glaze with no cleaners in it. I don't see how that is hype.

Have you tried Meguiars #81 Professional Hand Polish? It is very similar to #7 and most consider it much easier to use. There is also a good article on #7 written by Mike Phillips if you want to give #7 another try.

EX-P (Pure)

EX-P is intended as a sealant.





The only things I can think of are Meguiar's #81, #3, and #5 (i think), and also sonus sfx3 (i think).



Although #3 says it's for use with a machine, many people find it easier to work with than #7 when used by hand.
 
I hate to use the "Z" word again, but Zaino says that Z2 has absolutly no abrasives in it. No cleaners either I think, it's not even supposed to remove water spots.:argue

Zaino is actually a sealant. I'm guessing it is called what it is because it's not a wax and the general public doesn't know what a sealant is.



But then who's to say that zaino isn't an extremely long-lasting polish/glaze that can be topped with other sealants or waxes..
 
I just used Megs #7 today for the first time. I didn't find it particularly hard to use. It creates a lot of dust and crap as you remove it, but a good polishing cloth will remove it completely without that much effort. This is the norm for many similar products.
 
Polish: A substance containing chemical agents or abrasive particles and applied to smooth or shine a surface. ( American Heritage Dictionary )
 
I highly recommend Mothers Sealer Glaze. To me, it leaves a finish almost identical to PwC, but without the cleaning properties. And if you don't like it, it only costs $4.95 at most Aid Auto's.

Oops, sorry about that. How about 1Z UPP? According to their catalog it doesn't have any silicones in it, so does that mean it's pure polish?
