Can you see the diff?

Meguiar's has so many products it's tough to tell what to use sometimes.

All things being equal, will these three products produce different results?

Meguiars Mirror Glaze #3 Pro Machine Glaze
Meguiars Mirror Glaze #7 Show Car Glaze (suitable for DA's)
Meguiars Mirror Glaze #205 Ultra Finishing Polish

My new car paint is in good shape. I"m going for the ultimate glossy polish, so I guess I could also include:
Meguiars Mirror Glaze #5 New Car Glaze

Why are you limiting yourself to meguiars for reaching your desired gloss?


Before even starting with polishes and glazes; make sure your paint is clean and decontaminated. Wash, Iron-X, Clay.

A good place to start polishing would be 205 for getting a defect free surface. Afterwards, IMO you could maximize gloss by switching brands to either 3m Ultrafina or Menzerna 85rd on a finishing pad.

You could then use a high quality carnauba to maximize depth or a sealant for gloss. Paint coatings are also an option for maximized protection and a mirror like shine.

MG 3, 5, & 7 are glazes, which are something different than M205, which is an abrasive polish.

Are you working by machine? If you have a modern clearcoat finish, using the 205 or one of the polishes JonMiles recommends, or another finishing polish, is going to give you better results than the glazes.

I am working by machine.
My question was at least partly theoretical:

All things being equal, will these four products produce different results?

Meguiars Mirror Glaze #3 Pro Machine Glaze
Meguiars Mirror Glaze #7 Show Car Glaze (suitable for DA's)
Meguiars Mirror Glaze #205 Ultra Finishing Polish
Meguiars Mirror Glaze #5 New Car Glaze

I think I had the mistaken impression that a glaze would provide the most gloss to paint not requiring correction. In any case, there are three kinds of glaze listed and I wonder if ultimately one could tell the difference of the end results provided by each?

I'm not wedded to Meguiars. I have some 205 and wonder what else would finish with potentially more gloss? I suspect it gets to the point of splitting hairs...

It is kind of splitting hairs. I think it would be hard to tell one glaze from another but I had to pick one of those I would pick #7 just because its what I have used out of the 3. #205 is a great product. I think the confusion is your question is "will these products produce different results" and since 205 is actually a polish, of course it would produce different results.
