Meg.7 alternative/pure polishing oils?

[88CSC]

Hello! My apologies if this has been discussed previously, searching these terms tends to run me in circles.
I've read Mikes (excellent) article on using Meg.7 on vintage oxidized single stage. What I am wondering is if anyone has any experience with a different product for the same usage? Reason I ask, it's literally impossible to source where I am, my only option is a few weeks of shipping, and overpaying extremely for what should be a readily available product.

If anyone has any first hand experience with the technique Mike uses on old single stage, but with a different product I would very much appreciate opinions. If Meg.7 is the only thing that will work, I'll have to deal with the inconvenience. However, if I can actually source a similar workable product locally I would much prefer that.

Thanks a bunch for the wealth of knowledge on this site.

Is the location problem related to distance, lack of shipper in-country, or customs difficulties?

Deep Crystal Polish is still sold in some countries. If not available try Ultimate Polish or M80, last M205 in that order.

Do you suggest Deep Crystal and UP simply because you know that they are oily products and will "hydrate" SIngle Stage paint in a similar manner? Or do you know for certain that they contain the same oils as Megs #7 ?

I've only use a local brand I used to be a dealer for and of course num 7
They both were near identical results

Are you in the states? Or international?

I am certain it contains the oils needed to hydrate paint. DCP contains exactly the same TS Oils as M7 while UP has them in smaller quantities but with the added benefit of abrasives which help clean off dead paint.

Thanks for the insight into Deep Crystal/Ultimate Polish. I was concerned they were of a different makeup.
As for the difficulties with finding the product, I'm in Canada. So it's not impossible for me to get my hands on, but it does mean ordering from the US, at a markup, with shipping delays and customs charges. As a general guideline, I do try to support local Canadian business (and products readily available, ha), hence me looking for a similar product.

Fairly safe to assume that even the best of other Glazes do not contain any of the TS oils which makes Meg. 7 so useful?

Thanks!

If you can get them, the 3M line of Glazes should also work just fine, and are very high quality products also.

Here's one of theirs right here:

3M Imperial Hand Glaze is a gentle moisturizer, especially for beautifying freshly painted surfaces!

Didn't 3M purchase Meguiars Company?

Not sure exactly where you're at in Canada, and sorry if it appears this is taking business from the AutoGeek Folks.

In your town, seek an auto paint supply business. They all usually carry Glazes, it's then up to you which to buy.
