Short answers... just finished the extreme makeover on the
old school slotted mags and it's time to take a show and get some dinner.... hungy....
Hey Mike,
I have some questions ..about Megs #7...... I have always shyed away from using any Glazes...but recently I am coming across allot of customers with heavy oxidation and clear coat failure....after reading your post on the Gold Lincoln and using Megs #7......
This article for
lurkers unaware...
The Secret to Removing Oxidation and Restoring a Show Car Finish to Antique Single Stage Paints
1. Can Glaze be applied by a DA (PC7424) instead of by hand?
Yes. Speed setting 4.0 to 5.0 with a polishing pad, 5.5" to 6.6" pads... rotation is not important but doesn't hurt...
2. Will Megs #7 be effective on Clear coated cars? These are not single stage paint jobs
The answer is yes to some degree on older clear coat paints that have opened up and have become more permeable but have not reached clear coat failure. For brand new cars, brand new clear coat paint jobs a product like #7 won't hurt but it's going to be primarily a topical coating because the top coat on brand new cars and brand new paint jobs is impermeable.
Maybe do a
search using the term
interstices here or on MOL
3. Once #7 is applied can it be sealed with either Wax or a Sealant? in this order....#7 then Sealant topped with premium wax (Fuzion)
Depends upon the porosity or permeableness of the paint. Single stage lacquer, enamel, Imron, Gel-coats, I would say yes. Modern clear coats... probably to some degree but less and less with anything brand new and with all it's integrity.
You can get a lot of different opinion on a question like this and some might even evolve into arguments... at the end of the day... beauty is in the eye of the beholder... if it looks good to you then go for it...
I've probably answered more questions on the topic of bonding than anyone I know and it's one of those topics that will always be with us... kind of like taxes...
Also...are all Glazes created equal or is there some better than others....what is the best of the best of Glazes (Product name)
The term glaze so vague in today's market, it has its beginnings probably back to the early 1900's in the automotive world... Some synthetic paint sealants are called glazes, some abrasive polishes are called glazes... so you really have to research what the product does... not the name on the bottle.
M07 Show Car Glaze, previously Sealer and Reseal Glaze is a water soluble non-abrasive polish with a lot of different uses as it's body shop safe so it's safe for fresh paint, it's good for restoring antique paint and some people like to put it on factory baked-on paint. That covers pretty much the entire spectrum of what you can use it for in a nutshell.
Also, On the directions of #7 the directions state not to let the product dry?
Thanks Mike....
There's no benefit to letting it dry. The reason you let some products dry is because that's how the protection ingredients bond to the paint, through the drying process.
M07 is not a wax or a paint sealant or a hybrid of the two... it's a wipe on, work in and then wipe off type non-abrasive, pure polish.
It's an interesting product...
#7 Sealer Reseal Glaze = Show Car Glaze
Here’s a photo of a few bottles of #7 from my car wax collection. I have some older bottles from before WWII, but this picture shows the transition from when the name changed from Sealer and Reseal Glaze to Show Car Glaze.
