Hi All we seem to hardly see a thread nowadays on Meguiars Mirror glaze.
I have always used there consumer line of products and didnt find much wrong with it, I have switched to blackfire and love the look on my car, but the cost for the Paste wax, BFwd, Poly spray and QD was so expensive!!!
So I wanted to see how the Mirror Glaze line was. I am talking primary about #6 cleanerwax, #21 Sealant, #26 Hi Tech Yellow, and upkeep with #135 synt deltailer...
Also is the Hi Tech yellow must be a Carnuaba correct.
I would love to get some feedback from Meguiars users.

Should do a side by side of them on your hood, I have heard of low durability from #26

-Meguiar's "Mirror Glaze line-up" is an excellent choice for detailing products, IMO.
-Instead of M#6 Cleaner-wax...I prefer the: Consumer A-12 version.
-Good Sealant...#21-2.0
-#26 has been referred to as being a Hybrid Wax...
"Wax-refreshening-time frame/intervals" (Some folks may call this durability): Similar or better than most waxes...
Best D.O.I. of them all!
-#34 Final inspection also for: Detail Spray duties...(Available in gallon size? I'll have to check the store sometime.)
-You ought to try #40 Vinyl/Rubber Cleaner...Good Stuff
-Don't overlook: Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer/Ultimate Quik Wax. IMO...Both superb products!
Hope this helps some.

M105 and 205 are great to remove defects and refine paint. Number 26 I have used and its pretty good.

Maybe I'm the only one in the world who doesn't know this, but what is the Mirror Glaze line targeted for. I know the Detailer line is for detailers, NXT line is OTC... Is it targeted for Body Shops???

Yes the Mirror Glaze line is targeted at the body shop industry with most of their line being body shop safe.

Professional Mirror Glaze products have been developed for usage by: Body/paint shops, refinishers, detailers, automobile manufacturers/assembly plants, dealerships...in mind.
But...I personally see no reason why enthusiasts/hobbyists can't enjoy the benefits of using them as well.

I just put #21 synthetic sealant on my sister-in laws car last night. I actually do like it quite a bit, it gives a real nice reflective shine and is super easy to use. It just never makes it onto my cars with the shelf full of powerlock, WG 3.0, 915, and a whole host of waxes.

I have used #26 paste and liquid and in both cases I like the look but I don't get the best life out of them. Seems like only a few weeks before it seems like I need to reapply.

Wow that's shocking, I would have thought megs came a long way with a pure carnuaba by now.

As I mentioned before: #26 is not a pure carnuba wax.
Also...IMHO...It didn't have to come a long way.
Except for, and due to, VOC compliancy issues.

I use most of the mirror glaze line regularly. I really like the #26 because for me gives a great look on any color, and is priced very well and that of course leads to more profit in each detail I do. 105/205 are my "go to" polishes....like alot of people. The #7 show car glaze is really nice as well once you get the hang of it. I have the rest of the line but these are the ones I use often, and always have good results. Very consistent, very reasonably priced.

#26 is a decent "hybrid" wax. Looks-wise it is really soft and gives a warm glow on any color paint. You might not like it on a non-pearl white paint because it actually softens the light colors quite a bit IMO. Durability-wise it's sort of meh. Actually, I can tell it's still on the car after more than a few weeks but it seems like after 1-2 washes it stops beading.
