Re: Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze - Goodbye to an old friend - hello to a new friend!
I was shocked too! Two things I noticed is that the 'new' formula doesn't seem as 'oily' as the old formula. It also seems to take more 'color' off of the paint - maybe slightly more abrasive?
I did tear the shop apart and found half a bottle of the old formula, and finished the car up with that. But I'll give the new stuff a chance :-)
In my other post I said I didn't think the new #7 did as good a job, but may just have been jaded by my shock at the change. I don't like change when it's a product I've trusted for years. Too many things that work well are changed or disappear altogether in the name of "progress", so you can imagine how concerned I was. This thread, and your explanation, go a long way towards reducing my concern.........thanks Mike!

Is it possible it just looked like it took more color off the paint, because the product is so much lighter now?

Thanks for the heads up, Mike! Gonna go pick up a couple of bottles of the old stuff here locally. Just for peace of mind, and nostalgia.

I believe it was. I used to use that too. I used to like some of the 3M stuff back in the 90's.

Nice one! I had forgotten about Imperial Hand Glaze. Was a really good glaze in the "appearance" definition of glazes. Does anyone know if they still make it?
Pleased to read that it is only a minor change to #7 & if Mike says its better . . . then, its better.

Dear Mike
Do you usually polish these old gems before applying Number 7?

-I still use 3M's Imperial Hand Glaze (IHG)
-As of right now: AGO still carries it:
3M Imperial Hand Glaze is a gentle moisturizer, especially for beautifying freshly painted surfaces!

-Meguiar's states that their #7 is a "pure polish";
that is to say: contains no abrasives.
