Which glaze fills best?

[Mike Phillips]

According the rep guy I talked to over at Meguiar's.

No. 7 has no fillers he said something alone the lines of it containing oils.

The problem with this is some people consider oil as a filler and it can in fact fill.

It might not be a mechanical filler like Kaolin Clay, but anything, let me repeat that, ANYTHING that leaves itself behind on the surface if filling to some degree.

There's nothing wrong with this either depending upon your point of view and what you're trying to accomplish. #7 and products like this were meant to mask or seal fine hairline scratches.

You want proof? The original name of for #7 was...

Sealer & Reseal Glaze


By using the word seal, it didn't mean "Sealant" like a synthetic, water insoluble product, but to hide or mask hairline scratches. For example, Menzerna Power Lock is a true sealant.

By applying the #7 you could seal or mask hairline scratches and create a more beautiful finish on single stage paints. When you re-applied it down the road, you were re-sealing these hairline scratches.

Here's a picture that shows the change in the product name over time and I know the story behind this too...

For some reason i am REALLY liking the very original look of the product. Looks high end

well im looking for more of a product that i can easily use and can top it with a sealant/wax to prolong it. And im not too fond of super oily products :/ still appreciate all the advice Bob!

I know this is a bit different than what you are looking for but worth a mention anyway. Have you ever tried Prima Banana Gloss? Prima Banana Gloss Liquid Wax, car wax

It's not a glaze in the traditional sense but it goes on and wipes off very easily (in hot sun or shade) to a freshly washed vehicle in 10 minutes or so, lasts up to 2 months and fills like nobody's business. As easy as it is to use, I keep a bottle of it for any in and out quick wash and wax jobs I get.

I contemplated buying banana gloss to go with the amigo on my D.D.'s. Some folks complained of longevity issues though. That would be another thread though. Sounds like a decent product for O.P. to get the filling effect he is looking for with some protection.

Btw this came up with the Meguiar's guy when, I called them up for some info and on the side I asked them what would happen if I mixed no.7 with water to make it a spray.

It's a great product for anyone who can't keep their hands off of their car.
