I actually found a bottle of this stuff never used in my cabinet:o . I was looking for a non cleaning glaze. Although the name implies polish will it cut through a coat of wax if applied by hand? My understandingis that it was more of a glaze although the back of the bottle says "light" polish.



I'm hoping this will fit the bill of hiding imperfections instead of constantly polishing. Also any tips or tricks are appreciated Thanks:xyxthumbs
 
#81 to me is sort of like a user friendly version of #7. The finish it leaves is similar to #7...very wet and glossy ready for LSP but it does not have the streaking or smearing issues of Show Car Glaze. #81 is definitely more of a glaze than a polish. It does have some VERY light cut to it...less than #9 for sure. Apply a section at a time and remove...do not let it dry or haze.
 
#81 is one of Meguiar's "pure polishes" (like #3/#5/#7), so it's supposed to be nonabrasive (verified this a while back with Mike Phillips). I dunno how it'd work on top of wax though. Its solvents might mess with the wax and it might not bond to the wax either. I'd use it *under* the wax.
 
What Accumulator said.



Personally, I find that #3 is the most user friendly pure polish Meguiars has. #81 is very close though.
 
How would the order of a pure polish like #81 and a glaze like red machine glaze or VM go in the order of things. Could I start with RMG to clean the surface and get the old LSP off then move to #81 and finally my LSP. If I'm reading right #81 will go fine as a final step as long as its not on top of an LSP?



What would be a glaze you could put on top of an LSP that doesn't have any cleaning abilities but just does filling and gloss etc..to cut down on how much you polish/swirl removal?



Or is this not possible with a glaze type product and Ialways need to start with an LSP free surface?



Thanks for the help:xyxthumbs

I've used #81 after VM so it should also work well after RMG.

Thanks Scott :xyxthumbs



So I'm figuring their is not a glaze type product that would go on top of an LSP instead of polishing marring/swirling?:nixweiss
