Really? So you can put glossworkz on top of an existing sealant or wax?
Which glaze fills best?

I was reading through this thread and wondering how many of these products are "true glazes" and how many just have the word in their name or description and are in fact one of the below,
Cleaner/Wax
Finishing Wax
Finishing Sealant
Big picture is... find something you like and use it often...
A true glaze is water soluble and won't last past a wash or two or rainy weather. If you're using a "glaze" that is "lasting", then you're really using some type of water insoluble wax or sealant.

It's been at least 10 years since they went out of business.
Been a long time since I had some, (or even seen any)...
but I probably had the last of my stock of Liquid Ebony last for about 15 years or so...
Don't know about its actual recommended shelf-life...
:idea:
Buy all your local auto paint supplier has...
I'll take a couple of them off your hands if you do.
If for nothing else: "For old-times sake".

I'm feeling pretty dumb-stupid right about now, as I stopped at two places this morning.
The local auto paint supply shop, and then NAPA. The paint supply shop owner said he never carried Liquid Ebony, never even heard of it, and then was onto NAPA, thinking that maybe I saw it there? Nope! LOL
Paint Shop Owner said maybe I saw it CARQUEST? Which I don't think so, and besides these three, we only have one O'Reillys, and one Autozone in town.
I'll check these places in time, but now I'm beginning to believe that I seen Bottles of Liquid Ebony in some dream?!
Am I getting that bad folks, that I need some serious "re-hab" program, that I'm dreaming about car care, and products in my sleep? LOL
I might be ready for the " Detailer's 12 step program" it appears!

I thought you did. You said to apply it after a wash prior to applying wax or sealant.
I assumed that it needed to be applied under a LSP but I wasn't certain. The directions on the bottle don't specify and I couldn't find any more info on the interwebz.

According the rep guy I talked to over at Meguiar's.
No. 7 has no fillers he said something alone the lines of it containing oils.

NOTE:
-If his clay is Sonus "green"...
-Then his clay-lube (secret solution) may just be: Zymol Auto Bathe/R.O. Water solution
Or: Disco Biscuits and Devil's Dandruff
-Sometimes I do wish I was English so I would feel more at ease while saying:
"Whilst I now be wadded-up from Detailing".

The problem with this is some people consider oil as a filler and it can in fact fill.
It might not be a mechanical filler like Kaolin Clay, but anything, let me repeat that, ANYTHING that leaves itself behind on the surface if filling to some degree.
There's nothing wrong with this either depending upon your point of view and what you're trying to accomplish. #7 and products like this were meant to mask or seal fine hairline scratches.
You want proof? The original name of for #7 was...
Sealer & Reseal Glaze
By using the word seal, it didn't mean "Sealant" like a synthetic, water insoluble product, but to hide or mask hairline scratches. For example, Menzerna Power Lock is a true sealant.
By applying the #7 you could seal or mask hairline scratches and create a more beautiful finish on single stage paints. When you re-applied it down the road, you were re-sealing these hairline scratches.
Here's a picture that shows the change in the product name over time and I know the story behind this too...

I know this is a bit different than what you are looking for but worth a mention anyway. Have you ever tried Prima Banana Gloss? Prima Banana Gloss Liquid Wax, car wax
It's not a glaze in the traditional sense but it goes on and wipes off very easily (in hot sun or shade) to a freshly washed vehicle in 10 minutes or so, lasts up to 2 months and fills like nobody's business. As easy as it is to use, I keep a bottle of it for any in and out quick wash and wax jobs I get.

I contemplated buying banana gloss to go with the amigo on my D.D.'s. Some folks complained of longevity issues though. That would be another thread though. Sounds like a decent product for O.P. to get the filling effect he is looking for with some protection.

Btw this came up with the Meguiar's guy when, I called them up for some info and on the side I asked them what would happen if I mixed no.7 with water to make it a spray.

It's a great product for anyone who can't keep their hands off of their car.
