#7 has a non-drying oil makeup. The reason it can do this is because it is a non-drying oil. Think about it, when you get a brand new paint job, or if you spray some rattle can paint before it dries it looks wet, because it is.
You want to apply #7 by hand, not machine. #3 Machine Glaze is similar to #7, with not as much oil, but designed for a machine.
First Tip - Apply #7 with a thin coat
The idea is to "Push" the product into the pores of the paint, then wipe off the material remaining on the surface.
Second Tip - Removing #7 requires a special technique, not the same kind of technique you remove a wax with.
Most people remove their wax like this. Start in one area, begin wiping until all of the wax is removed in that area and then move on to virgin territory.
This will not work for #7. The "Act" of removing #7, tends to "Re-liquefy" the product, basically creating the smearing around effect that you experience when you apply it. Instead, "Break" or "Disrupt" the "Continuous" layer of film-build and then move on to a virgin area and "Break this film-build up.
#5 works better in more humid places, and applies even easier than #7, and doesn't require any special technique; just wipe on, wipe off. #7 has a slight advantage in the looks department, giving a bit more gloss and wetness, but #5 is easier to use. If you want to apply by machine, get #3.
Hope this helps...

Don't wipe like you normally would a wax. Wipe up and down, side to side (left to right), and in circles (clock-wise). The wipe down and up, side to side (right to left), and in circles (counter-clock-wise). Just don't wipe side to side, like when removing a wax.BILL said:
Removing #7 really gives it the look you're trying to get. If you don't remove it correctly, the results will be marginal.
