Ok. I took out the Porter Cable orbital(i think) and took applying pad and practiced on a old car in the back then took it to the jeep. The jeep has a nice shine to it , it is kakhi..(sp) I applyed the polish then buffed it off. and must have done something wrong cause it didnt look very good... i missed some spots. so i went back and wiped the rest off. The took a even softer pad and applyed the wax it is meguries glass class or something like that i didnt see a number but i believe the polish was 7. Then i hand buffed the wax off. It looked good after a while of spraying water with a squirt bottle then wipeing. I need to have my jeep looking good cause since i have been washing my car .....neighboors come by walking there dogs and ask if i will do a basic wash and interior on there car.... I have done 3 soo far. makeing 25 bucks. each might be less than most off yall make for that kind of stuff. But i do a very good job for that much and they have already started to talk.... cause people will come up to me and say sally sue said you wash cars good. I dont have to travel over a mile and i can take long if i need to cause they are watching tv inside the house. I mean i am in it for gas money and to cover the cost of my detailing supplys. Washing cars seems to be cheap on a low scale. I mean Soap is cheap, last a long time. tire and trim stuff i pretty inexpenisive. My biggest problem is that darn glass. But i see to get it done. I have a couple lined up this weekend so i will be bringing in the money.... or a little any ways.

Meg's #7 is show car glaze. IMHO it is best applied by hand and removed by hand. I think you may need to figure out which you have a orbital or a DA. What type of pads are you using --foam, wool or other? Remember #7 is not a wax it is a glaze. You may want to start with DACP or PB SSR 2 for a polishing compound. Then move to a sealant or wax. Don't forget to use different pads for different products.
P.S. Always start with the least aggressive product to do the job.

#7 is a glaze that has a ton of oils into it. There is a special method of buffing it off, as brought to our attention from Mike Phillips. Do a search on Megs Show Car Glaze #7. The jist of it is that to remove, use a terry towel and just skim over it so it will re-skin itself (it never fully dries), do this again to remove a bit more, and then a 3rd pass with a Microfiber towel to finish it off. A glaze does not have any real polishing abilities, most use #7 before and at a show (hence the name) as it will fill in minor swirling, not remove them.
