Meguiar's #3 or #7?

What's the diff? The product descriptions use almost the same words, but in different order, to describe the product; it's as if one was cribbed from the other!



So, I've used #7, but what makes #3 different? What is the difference in how it is worked, how it looks, and what you can use with (on top of) it?

If you do a search, you'll find a post from Mike Phillips of Meguiars that explains in detail the differences of #3, #5, #7, Hand Polish etc...



It's excellent nd should more than answer your questions. It may be in the hall of fame forum. If not there, do a search.



I use #3 routinely with a grey finishing pad on my PC. It rocks!



Why not do a side to side comparison? The #7 has more oils in it and is good for single stage paint since the formula hasn't changed in like 50 years. The #3 is easier to work with. I use a cotton towel followed up by an MF for final removal.

Ah ha! I found it! Here you go! Click Here!
 
Thanks, Spilchy. I was having trouble getting either too many responses or none. I refined my terms another time and found the answer.

I've spent the last month learning the Meg's products, and I think that it's the secret to the entire Meguiar's line!



They are fascinating products. If I were to recommend anything to a beginner, it would be, "learn how to use Meguiar's". Instruction needs structure. Knowing this line should be baseline for any serious Autopian. From there, you can learn everything else, and have a reference point. I'm not saying that they are the best, I don't know that; I'm saying that they should be the base of common knowledge that we can always refer to.



Then, learn 3M.



Then proceed into the deep waters!



'Course, nobody, me included, can keep from jumping ahead. But there is a lot of subtlety in the basics, believe it or not.
