Is that the level in the jug a little more than halfway up?

I love these kinds of threads - which I believe originate from Mr. Phillips!
Thanks for sharing, Mike and Barry. For both the history lesson, and the photos!

Re: Barry Meguiar visits Mike Phillips and his antique wax collection
Seeing the glass bottle with the separated product brought back some memories of 40 years ago at the dealership I worked. We stocked a bunch of Meguiar's products on the parts room supply shelves. Back then, they came in round clear plastic bottles and the oil content would migrate to the top, just like the glass bottle Barry's holding. Meguiar's #7, then called "Sealer and Reseal Glaze" was unique, in that the product would rise to the top with the layer of oil on the bottom. We'd use it as the last step in a detail of a "special" delivery or a showroom car. Rather than asking for #7, one of the detailers would always ask the parts counterman for a bottle of "floats on the bottom" and his nickname stuck. Fast forward 40 years, the clear bottles are long gone, but if we're doing a classic lacquer restoration and I ask any of my buddies for some more "Floats on the Bottom", I'll get the right stuff.
