8-9 month old Meg's #9 glaze still good?

oops, I meant #7 (Meguiar's Show Car Glaze)...keep getting those two confused :/ so, is there any way to avoid wearing the clearcoat down? I've been avoiding using any serious swirl removers for that reason...but the swirls are slowly adding up. Also, say I wanted to use AOI/SG, would I use those -before- using a glaze?

It's kinda difficult to do swirl removal without removing the clearcoat some, because swirls are scratches in the clearcoat....

Nope, it's toast! Send it to me and I will dispose of it for you.
hehe, It should be fine to use. Also, I don't think there are any abrassives in #7, I think its all very oily fillers that will wash away eventually. Its a glaze and not really a polish.
While we're on #7, has anyone compared it 3M imperial hand glaze? I'm looking to try a new glaze step. (so send me that bottle of #7 so I can try it out... I mean throw it out)

I've tried #7 and IHG side by side a few months ago and honestly speaking, there really isn't much noticable difference between the two. What I did notice though is that IHG tends to fill swirls in a little better than #7 but #7 tends to leave the car's paint a little deeper andwet looking than the IHG. This was all done on black paint previously polished with some DACP.
A really small difference in looks really. IMO, go with the #7 if you are able to remove almost all of the swirls during the compund/polishing step.
My P1.00 ($0.02) worth on this subject.
Cheers!

or is the wearing down so insignificant, that even over a period of 5 years of bimonthly DACP / #9 / any strong swirl remover, there would be 90% or more of it left?
