Meguiars show glaze

If you mean #7 it's a great product. Best suited for single stage paints but it will work on basecoat/clearcoat paints. It can be a bear to remove as it never really dries and has a tendancy to streak.



If you have a bc/cc paint I would suggest using Meg's #81 Hand Polish instead of the #7. It is much easier to remove and gives a better gloss than the #7 IMHO.

I noticed the same thing with #7. It can produce great results, however it does have a tendancy to streak like it's not completely dry. Once you get used to it, it works pretty well. You may just have to find a technique that works best for you. I would also say that it's very important to make sure the surface is cool and you may even want to try to have a day with low humidity. That'll probably help the #7 dry a little bit more than on a damp day. Just a few tips.
 
I don't think #7 will ever dry. It's too oily. Mike P has described #7 like pudding, where the top sorta hardens but underneath its still fluidy.



I know lots of people like it but I personally don't think #7 works well with modern paint. I like the suggestion of using #81 instead.

Removal of #7 is the only time I use cotton terry towels (Koala brand).



The loops help break up the #7 better. I just go around the car about 2 -3 times just wiping a little at a time breaking up the "pudding" each time allowing it to dry a bit. I follow with a MF for final clean up.
 
I've used #7 before a Concours, when I didn't have time to get my Zaino on. Folks said it was the wettest, shiniest look they'd ever seen on the old white car. BTW, that is a clearcoated car too. And for some reason, I never had a problem with removal of #7. Maybe that's because I used it after a good wash and claying session, so there just weren't any contaminants? :nixweiss Of course, now that I know #7 is supposed to be a bear to remove, it'll probably never work right for me again. :lol
