What is the Difference: Meg's #5, #7, and #26?

Ok, what in the heck is the difference between these 3, please?
What is each intended for? They seem the same, but I know there must be variances...
And are any of them good?
Thank you lots everyone!

Two are glazes, one is a wax (#26)

#5 is a pure polish that is better suited for humid climates vs. #7. #26 is a under-rated (IMO) liquid wax that is very easy on and off.

FYI MEG'S #7 IS A PURE POLISH AND #26 IS CARNUBA WAX. I HAVE USED BOTH ON MY VETTE WITH GOOD RESULTS. #7 DURABILITY IS SHORT MUST BE USED WITH SEALANT OR WAX. IT WILL GIVE A GOOD SHINE . JUST MY $.02

From what I gather, M7 is one of Meguiar's oldest polish, but it also has more polishes than anything else in their line. M5 is virtually the same thing, just a bit easier to work with (M7 requires a little techique to work with properly). For ease of you, M81 might be better suited for pure polishes because it is known to be extremely easy to use...that or even Deep Crystal #2 Polish. Note that these are pure polishes which mean they will not correct any paint defects, only slightly mask them. The polish is used to fill in pours in the paint to help give it a deep luster, bring out the color, and help protect it from oxidation.

M26 is a pure wax (as in no cleaning abilities) that is one of my personal favorites. Very easy to use, gives a fantastic shine/depth/wetness, and has decent durability. Pretty cheap too.
