Which Glaze for Lacquer Paint

I have a 61 Impala to detail which has Lacquer Paint on it. Would Poor Boys Black Hole work well as a glaze with this paint or should I purchase something like Meguiars # 7 ? The owner just wants a general clean up and would appreciate something to give it a little more "bling" for the next car show that he is taking it to. I do plan on topping the glaze with a wax.
 
Never used P/B product but have used lots of Meguiars Nbr7 Show Car Glaze on acrylic lacquer and acrylic enamels as far back as 30 years ago..
This product really works great for a Glaze and is always seen at car shows as they get their baby's ready..

I too would use one of the old Meguiar's Mirror Glaze "Pure Polishes", OR....maybe their M09 Swirlmark Remover v2.0, which is *FAR* more of a glaze than a SMR (abrasives basically have zero cut unless the buffing media are really aggressive) and AFAIK the TSO in it are the same stuff as in M07. That's unless my memory if failing me (old conversation with Mike P.) or they've changed the formula.

I'd consider using the M09 and then a Pure Polish; I doubt the latter would remove the fillers as long as you work it somewhat gently.

Note that out of all the Pure Polishes, M07 is the least user-friendly, and some of the others can look *almost* as good. I always liked the M05 New Car Glaze, but I gather they discontinued it :(
 
I stock and use both PBBH and Meg's #7 on the aged lacquer of my El Camino. Using BH is an easier, faster and more forgiving process, but #7 looks wetter IMO, if you don't mind the extra effort. I'll often use BH, followed by a wax for a mid-season freshen-up, since it has a bit of cleaning properties. #7 won't last thru a single washing, but some guys like to apply it the day before a show for the extra pop. Personally, for the one judged show I enter each year, I use #7 as my second last step, then wipe on an easy to apply "beauty" wax, such as Souveran, Dodo Juice, Fuzion, or even Meg's #26 on the night before a show for maximum pop the next day with a bit of longevity.


It works for me to impress the judges on my otherwise old, tired lacquer.

I also have PBBH and love it like crazy, but went M07 on a '67 VW with 6-7 year old single stage paint that was very dry, cracking, oxidized, etc. While I didn't chase down swirls and scratches (the paint was cracking in some edges) the end result was a shiny Beetle and a happy owner

 
Heh heh, as long as there is single stage paint, people will be happily using M07!

it *is* especially nice on ss paint that's really compromised, no question about that.
