    Why does the #7 take more effort then the others?

    I have never used it, you wouldent need to really work it in like the cleaner would ya? Just putting a light layer on.

    Is there a big difference between the Deep Crystal Polish and M07. I know it cost much more.

    Just reading on the bottle, It says Do not alow to dry? Why would this be different from wax were you let it glaze. How long do you let it sit before you take it off

      I like #7 as a pure polish. My favorite is #83 which is a cleaner/polisher.

        You don't allow it to dry because it's not a wax, its a polish. You work the product into a section of the paint, then wipe off.

          Sal329, if you're using DC1 to remove and old LSP then you're doing the right thing as it is a paint cleaner. A pure polish won't remove your previous LSP, nor will it clean the paint.

          Just wanted to make sure we're all on the same page here.

          Man, every time I see a new little tidbit of info like this, the brain goes into overdrive. Has anyone used a glaze or pure polish to polish your LSP? Maybe something like, 2 coats of #26 for even application followed by #7 for a dripping wet look?

          Just curious,

            You certainly can, and many do. We don't call it "Show Car Glaze" for nothing! Keep in mind, though, that as a final layer any of our pure polishes (M07, M03, M05, M81, DC2) will not last very long at all. They sure will look good though!

              How does it affect the LSP with M05 on top and what's the humidity range for M05?

                  I've used #7 for years. Like all of Meguiars products, it is reliable, and gives consistent, excellent results!

                      LSP? What is LSP?

                      I wasn't aware #5 is for humid environments.
                      Is it "humidity friendly" in terms of the way it can be applied, or is it "humidity friendly" in terms of long lasting standing up to high humidity?

                        The former. See this post by Accumulator, who has been a long-time fan of M05.

                        LSP = last step product.

                            The only pure polish I have (and used) is #7 and It makes a silver car look great!

                              To my understanding, a polisher will cut. How come you guys are talking about putting a pure polisher over wax. Won't this cut the wax; thus getting rid of the wax or is the wax thick enough that the polish will make the wax flat and even?

                              I only have dc2 but planning to get #7. But if #7 and dc2 are both pure polish then there is no need for that.

                                Meguiar's pure polishes are nonabrasive and therefore should not remove a previously applied layer of wax, depending on how you apply it, of course. If you rub real hard or if you use a microfiber applicator instead of a foam applicator, you might remove some or all of the wax, so if you wish to leave the wax intact, be sure to use a foam applicator and apply the polish gently.

                                I only have dc2 but planning to get #7. But if #7 and dc2 are both pure polish then there is no need for that.
                                Let us know if you can see a difference between DC2 and #7 in terms of gloss and wetness.
