Megs #7

[former86camaro]

I just ordered it and am looking for some feedback and information on it. I was considering this for friends cars:

DP Wash
Clay
Megs Glaze
Pinnancle Paste

I was looking for a nice pop for them and something that filled so I could make it easy on me.


So will #7 fill and then when topped with pinnancle really pop.....

I hate to be a party pooper, but even Megs acknowledges that 7 is a very short term pop. Whats the point, regardless of what combination you use, unless you have a show car in a show? First time you drive around the block, you are back to having to wash it again. Thus, I have reluctantly gone for long term protection over short term (that lasts until you pull out of the garage) wax beauty. Put me under the "cold hard look of long lastin sealant" column instead of the "short term deep warm look of wax" of column.

I've seen in about a week it starts to diminish. It all depends on condtions; rain, lots of travel, not garaged, etc.

can someone explain why topping #7 wouldn't prolong its durability>>

That's what I thought Joe. A glaze gave the paint the final wet gloss and then you put down a layer of wax. I just always presumed that the wax would have its normal durability.

I don't use it to much anymore, but I had a client about a year ago who had two show cars, and before a show, he would have me over to apply a AIO cleaner, some #7, #21, two layers of wax and another coat of #7. (keep in mind Meg's products don't need to cure for 24 hours, which is why a detailer like myself enjoys using their products)

The results are just amazing, something one would truly appreciate.

#7 is a "pure polish" and is just really a bunch of essential oils for "look". There's nothing in the formula for durability.

And generally, you wouldn't apply a durable wax ontop of #7 because if you're using it, you're simply working on the car for looks. Thus, the wax applied probably doesn't have much durabilty and the looks of the car start to diminish pretty quickly.



Hope this helps....
