I'm using Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze and it does its job fine but i'm having a lot of trouble taking it off. Does anyone have any tips on working with glaze? I know that you're supposed to apply it as thin possible and you're supposed to work a section at a time, but my 8 inch Wen random orbital polisher doesnt seem to be able to take much off and i end up using my hand. Any suggestions?



Also, how long are you supposed to wait between applying additional layers of glaze?

The general consensus around here is that removing by machine saves little time, and you still have to go over areas that the machine can't get to.



#7 can be tricky to work with. There was a thread started recently about using #7 that was written by Mike Phillips, a Meguiars employee. Basically, you let the #7 "skin" and remove a little, let it "skin" one more time and remove the ramaining. #7 is a oily product, and if you try to remove it all at once, you are just spreading it out more. I'll post a link to the thread - very informative. I have found using #7 is much easier after reading Mr. Phillips' tips.

hey thanks for the welcome, Indigo!



let me introduce myself, i live in Toronto Ontario which is where you will find the most interesting mix of people and cultures. I'm 17 and drive a 98 cream coloured corolla that my father "gave" me (its more like a permanent loan). I'm going to University of British Columbia in September hoping to studying engineering science. I aspire to work in the Auto industry in the future...



hehe, in the meantime, im just gonna kick back and detail cars...



:D
 
other than the zaino stuff, what products can i layer?



i know that some people like to put carnauba on first then after waiting overnight they put on a layer of synthetic wax because they like the depth and richness that the carnauba brings and the synthetic lasts longer.

Now that the civilities are out of the way, you have that on backwards . It's synthetic first, then a carnauba topper, because the synthetic won't be able to bond to the oils in the carnauba.
