#7 Glaze, works great, but make sure you top it with a Carnauba Wax, or their #21 Sealant, because it has ZERO durability. It is only meant to add depth and wetness to the paint, no protection. It'll give your car that extra pop.

Also when applying it, onyl apply panel at a time, meaning, apply to one panel, then remove immediately. It's a bare to get off if you let it sit for too long.

I also would not top it with any kind've non meguiars sealant, like Zaino etc, they will not bond properly to the surface with #7 Mirror Glaze.

A lot of guys who love the Mirror Glaze Megs products will do the following:

#7, then #21, then #26, or skip 21. (21 has great durability, and 26, has a deeper look)

Meguiars Mirror Glaze is a run of the line glaze... I does its job, but that's that. There are much better products on the market. My personal favorite in terms of a glaze is Menznera FTG (Finishing Touch Glaze). As the other posters have mentioned, all Glazes have zero durability. They are not protect. They are simply are fillers that will help hide minor imperfections and requires a sealant or wax to be applied on top.

Pick up some Menzerna FTG and you'll notice a difference. Now get some wax or sealant on for protection.

hmm, can a sealant actually bond to menzera ftg though? Since most sealants cannot bond to most glazes.

I agree with Blackjack about the Menzerna FTG. I just got it recently and have tried it out with great results so far. I've also used Poorboy's World Black Hold Glaze on my OB G37 and their White Diamond on my pearl white Maxima. They work great as well and apply and remove very easily.
