While some faded finishes can be revived with a wonder potion in a single afternoon, this 68-year-old "compromised" paint requires lots of potion plus lots of...
Just when I'm making steady process... I took a panel outdoors and noticed some streaking that became more apparent after waxing. (Remember that on my car, the fenders, running...
OK, so no surface film. Perhaps more like Fluid Film or Gibbs Brand in that it is wiped off. I see rave reviews online about using on plastics and vinyls. but not so much on oxidized single stage...
Sounds kind of like Penetrol, which I think may leave a surface film when dry. I'm already into the #7 procedure, but appreciate about learning something new.
My research and spot testing phases are complete and now I'm off to the races! Here are the before and after photos of the left rear fender following the second overnight saturation of #7. There was...
I'm starting to think Cloudy Haze from LSP over #7 and compromised paint would be a good topic for Mike to address. You show a preference for Ultimate Wax, so I wonder what ingredients in an LSP are...
I'm curious how the TR6 looks years later. I'm having challenges with cloudy haze from LSP on my MG. It sounds like the TR looked best with just #7 and no top coat??
As far as saturating the paint, have YOU found that after multiple applications of #7 with a clean towel that the amount of pigment transferring to the towel becomes less with each layer? (Assuming...
Does that mean my paint will not benefit appearance-wise by a layer of wax because it will likely result in a cloudy look regardless of beefing up the underlying layers?
Great suggestion. I was looking into using Fluid Film as an initial product for saving my paint before learning about #7. I do plan to use it on chassis areas that are basically weathered steel where...
BrokenHero - It looks like we're both fixing red oxidation at the same time. Meguiars #7 is working wonders on my '53 MG-TD, but how to finish it off is the challenge. Here's my thread:

After going through the #7 and #20 steps, I tried some of the #16 paste wax and found that it did not leave a transparent finish. It appeared as if it was soaking in unevenly...
I appreciate your enlightening me about the Comet cleaning and #7 glaze procedures. To clarify, I'm not looking to restore the finish on my car, but rather to preserve its well-driven...
I received your package today. Thank you very much! But I'm realizing the "secret slot" in the wax can isn't much of a secret anymore if you keep telling everyone. :laughing:
