  1. Re: Controlling pigment removal using Mirror Glaze #7 - 1953 MG

    Comparing before and after

    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...
  2. Re: Controlling pigment removal using Mirror Glaze #7 - 1953 MG

    Mike & Tom,

    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...
  3. Re: Controlling pigment removal using Mirror Glaze #7 - 1953 MG

    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...
  4. Re: Controlling pigment removal using Mirror Glaze #7 - 1953 MG

    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.

    Re: 1968 MGBT - All original single stage paint

    Great classic period color: Pale Primrose Yellow, I think.

    How did you handle the aluminum trim around the windows? Isn't it anodized or coated?
  6. Re: Need advice - Oxidized Paint Correction on 1968 Dodge Charger

    Have you decided what product to apply over your #7?

    I've decided that #20 is best for an all-in-one but not as a sealant over the #7. The photo below shows as test of Griot's Paint Sealant...
  7. Re: Controlling pigment removal using Mirror Glaze #7 - 1953 MG

    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...
  8. Re: Controlling pigment removal using Mirror Glaze #7 - 1953 MG

    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...

    Re: Single stage cloudiness

    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??

  10. Re: Controlling pigment removal using Mirror Glaze #7 - 1953 MG

    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...
  11. Re: Controlling pigment removal using Mirror Glaze #7 - 1953 MG

    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?

    There's no question that...
  12. Re: Controlling pigment removal using Mirror Glaze #7 - 1953 MG

    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...
  13. Re: Need advice - Oxidized Paint Correction on 1968 Dodge Charger

    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:

  14. Re: Controlling pigment removal using Mirror Glaze #7 - 1953 MG

    When to apply LSP

    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...
  15. Re: Controlling pigment removal using Mirror Glaze #7 - 1953 MG

    Mike,

    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...
  16. Re: Controlling pigment removal using Mirror Glaze #7 - 1953 MG

    I'm now trying out the process on the sunny side of the car. REMARKABLE!!

    Comet, then heavy #7. I applied #20 on the top half of the test area... only a minor change in gloss, but I'm not...
  17. Re: Thank you Dr. COLORCHIP!

    A professional product that's simple enough for an amateur to achieve fantastic results. Just order the paint code exactly match your car!
  18. Re: Controlling pigment removal using Mirror Glaze #7 - 1953 MG

    Mike,

    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:

    I've been...
