I always thought show car glaze was used before waxing. I just saw somewhere where they recommended it after waxing. What is the correct application order??

Show car glaze #7 is a pure polish and you have to seal it with a wax in order to last more time so, I don't know where you saw that but yes you need to use it before waxing.
first: show car glaze #7.
second: wax or sealantayudando a los regiomontanos a que sus autos brillen waldo_gomez@hotmail.com

I've used this product for years. I always use it before waxing. I also use it after waxing just before I bring a car to a show. I love the oily-wet look and it has turned a lot of heads at the shows. Of course, it doesn't last long if applied after a wax.Last edited by jfelbab; Apr 14, 2006, 03:16 PM.Jim

This is what they were referring to. Using the glaze as a car show head turner. I assumed the glaze would remove the wax though.Originally posted by jfelbab

#7 Show Car Glaze is a pure polish and non-abrasive.Comment

If applied on top of wax/sealant, the Show Car Glaze will wear off very quickly.
However, people with show cars, or going to a show will sometimes do this, putting #7 on top of wax/sealant, as some people find it gives a little more pop to the paint.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR BlueComment

Can I put #7 on the day before a show that I have to drive 100 miles to get to? If I go over the car with a QD will I lose whatever extra pop #7 gave me?Michael Stoops

No, it should be just fine. I would not worry at all. Once you get to the show, apply a coat of Last Touch and you should be good to go!

There's a difference, but my experience is that it's not enough that I'd recommend going out and getting #7 if you already have DC2. DC2 is easier to work with and gets you close enough to the #7 look that almost no one could tell the difference.Originally posted by Kman

Mike can tell you more, but my guess is that DC2 is thinner (making it more consumer level friendly), a newer formula, and is maximized for clearcoats.

Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze contains the highest amounts of TS Oils. It was created a long time go when SS paint was the norm. However, it works very well with BC/CC paints!
DC#2 contains less TS Oils, is a little easier to remove, and performs very similar to #7.
Cheers!

Alright thanks. I noticed when I was applying DC#2, it was not as runny as the #7 was. And was a lot easier to remove. I had heck of a time removing the #7 when I used it./Keith

Removing #7 is a bit more involved than the other polishes that Meguiars makes. Here's a great writeup by Mike P. that explains it in great detail....Just scroll down a bit to find it....
