How do i use this stuff? i bought it on a whim cause i thought i remember that a glaze can fill up minor marring etc. is it just a wipe on whipe off product?



this is on a black 05 saturn redline btw. :bounce
 
#7 is the trickiest of the Meg's Pure Polishes. Yeah, it's a w-o-w-o, but you can apply it to the whole vehicle before you start to wipe it off if you like. Mike Phillips posted the definitive thread on using #7, it's well worth the dreaded search.
 
I just spent some time with #7, within the last couple hours. Once you know the tricks it's as easy as anything else.



The harder you push when you wipe, the harder it is to remove. Use a soft terry in one hand and a microfiber in the other. Pretend that you are trying to remove the top layer of #7 with the terry, wiping very gently; you'll have a thin oily sheen left if you do it right. Remove the sheen as normally with the microfiber.

I believe so. That's how #81 is used and it's similar to #7.

I thought #81 was a light polish (some slight abrasive qualities) that worked well by being worked in to actually REMOVE slight marring (such as that left by #83) while #7 was a pure glaze (no abrasives, only filling qualities)?

Ive tried to search for #s before and it wouldn't let me, is there another way since everyone refers to the products by # only most of the time?

:furious: well. my plans did not come to fruition as expected.used #7 with a white pad (as per the pc usage guide that i downloaded over a year ago. but unfortunately, it seems as though saturn paint is soft or something, cause well it micromarred the 'dent resistant' panels. is there a trick to doing saturns that i missed somewhere?
 
The pad would have been what was doing the marring; #7 is basically all oil. Whose white pad did you use? Is it a finishing pad?



Yesterday I used #7 with a Meguiar's tan finishing pad, speed 1.5. No marring whatsoever, and Mazda paint is known to be very soft.



We can get to the bottom of this, hrspwr00v6! Can you post some pics maybe?
 
eh, no pics avail. some *insert colorful adjective here* stole my digital camera outta my room at college last year.



but i was using the same white pad that i got with the pc kit (not the screw in one that comes with the buffer) i got it when i got the whole einzett product stuff. worked great for the metallic polish a month ago. it just looks like some buffer jocky hit it with a rotary and left massive swirls, and i know the pad was clean, the car was clean, but i guess the pad was the weak link. ohh well time to buy stock in Lake Country i guess..
