I use and like alot of the megs products. just as good if not better, and more reasonably priced, than alot of the others. that being said,you've got some
good info here already on (old) #7. just my 2 cents as i use it.
yes, it was originally used on SS paints, but CAN be used on clearcoats.
yes,topping #7 with #26 is a very pleasing combination.
yes, #7 by itself offers No protection.
yes, the user instructions on the bottle does leave something to be desired.
as its name implies, it was suppossed to be used as that last minute topper at a show or for an immediate wet or detailed look. it is full of oils and will rapidly wear off unless
you top it with something else, like #26 as has been mentioned. however, there are those who will then say you are defeating the purpose of putting on the #7 as you will diminish some of that wet look depending on the topper you use; why did you use it in the first place? is this true? can you REALLy tell the difference between a #26 & #16 ? a nattys between a p21 ? using the #7 as the last step product or topping it with another? i think that's all in the eye of the beholder. they are all good products. the problems some have in using 7 is the way in which you take it off. The highly respected rep over on the megs site, Mike Phillips, has an excellent article on using #7 and if you really want to use it you should read it or risk REMOVING it wrongly, thereby leaving you with the impression that its a lousy product. just to paraphrase, 7 will haze or streak if attempts to remove it are done all in one swipe of the towel. multiple passes are needed. please refer to his article for further info if you really want to see the benefits of using #7.
