I've been wanting to try Meguiars Mirror glaze,But is it redundant to use SwirlX and then use Mirror Glave over it??

Mirror Glaze is the name of the Professional line of products....

Did you mean the #7 Show Car Glaze, or other particular product?

When you type Meguiar's Mirror Glaze do you mean M07 Show Car Glaze?

If so, its' a very different type of product compared to SwirlX so it would not be redundant, you might not see a big difference or a even a small difference because they both work so well.

What are you working on?

Meguiar's states that applying a pure polish is an optional step, that is you don't have to do it, you can if you want. In some cases you might not see any improvement over the results you've already achieved with your other paint care products, thus the optional step recommendation.

Older single stage paints really take well to pure polishes because the paint actually absorbs some of the polishing oils which acts to bring out the full richness of color in the paint.

Since a clear layer of paint is on top of the color coat when working on a new car with a basecoat/clearcoat paint system, these polishing oils only affect the clear layer of paint on top.

Modern clear coat paints tend to be much harder than traditional single stage paints and this hardness in in part a result of the physical make-up of the paint itself in that it's a fairly solid matrix of resin and polishing oils don't readily absorb into it or at least to the degree they will absorb into older, single stage paints.

A brand new clear coat paint job is the most impermeable it will ever be because it's brand new and without defects. As the clear coat wears it will become more opened up or more permeable due to scratching and general deterioration; at this point it's usually time to clean the paint to remove the defects and restore a smooth, clear finish and for this step something with abrading power is necessary, not a non-abrasive pure polish.

Applying a pure polish to paint in excellent condition will tend to create gloss and clarity which is a great attribute, but our waxes and paint sealants do this so well also that some people will skip the application of a pure polish after the prep work is done and go straight to wax.
