    #7 and NXT first try

    The car has been washed at a carwash because of the penalty of using water for washing cars : (
    I used for first time my rotary polisher with the Dynabrate DA conversion kit.
    i used MEGS #83 on orange LC CCS pad
    MEGS #80 on 8006 pad
    #7 by hand on MEGS foam applicator
    NXT by hand on MEGS foam applicator

    THE CAR BEFORE






















    SOME 50/50 PICS AND AFTER PICS
    most of AFTER were taken the next day so excuse for some dust on the car.































    comments, critics and suggestions are always welcome and necessary
    Thanks for looking

    NXT has a light cleaner/abrasive called kalcified kaolin and likely removed any benefits from #7. Best to use a carnauba wax (pure) over the glaze.

    I really don't understand Meguiar's theory of using a synthetic wax over a glaze. That glaze if for carnauba waxes, not for synthetic. Glaze, unless specifically formulated to work with a sealant, will always weaken synthetic wax durability, it simply will not let it bond properly...
    Maybe Meguiar's are republicans, they want that durability to be short, so you wax more often and buy more wax...

    if you want a glaze (often used for its filling or additional wetness properties) and using a sealant then look to the new Poorboys offerings. One is light and other for darker colors. Unfortunately oils and sealants dont usually mix well otherwise.
