Hello / Trying to find Meguiar's #7 polish (like I remember it)
 

Hello all,
I remember using Meguiar's #7 back in late 80's & 90's that was thin viscosity, greenish in color and kind of greasy feeling. It worked wonders on revitalizing old GM lacquer paint I dealt with on typical used muscle cars available then. I bought a bottle recently that is called #7 but nothing like the original stuff, unless I'm mistaken. Any help with finding original formula or a simular product? I'm trying to bring back some shine on original paint trunk lid on my '71 Skylark Custom. Much appreciated!
Jerry

Suggest talking to Meguiars and ask them if their formulation has changed. I am still using the same bottle I bought a dozen years ago so I can't compare the old stuff to the new

The only no. 7 I have seen is in a bottle now. The bottle I have is a tan color of glaze. The latest is called M07 in a black bottle.

....

I talked to a guy at the Meguires truck at good guys and he said the bottle for no 7 has changed a couple times but still the same product. The bottle they had today is black

I used #7 for years and can't find it any longer. I'm glad you asked this question.

If you are open to suggestions, I had wonderful results with Adam’s Brilliant Glaze on my worn out paint ‘66 Impala.

Below is the only image I could hot-link.

----I'll second the Adams stuff. Works really well! Nice Impala in a great color, by the way....Bill S

Thanks for the Adams Polish sugerstion. I have some experience with their products and will try the Brilliant Glaze next. Driving this weekend to Hot August Nights in Reno NV. for the week so I'll see if I can pick some up to bring along. Thanks again!

Griots hand polish is great.

Headed to Reno also in my Riviera.

Beautiful car is right...is that Aztec ?

#7
 

Here's a video I found that I thought was very helpful. It's from a few years ago but is still relevant to this post. I've tried his procedure on my Nova and it seems to be helping.

Yes. It was a real old repaint over Madeira Maroon

My dad bought a '66 Chevelle new in Aztec Bronze. About my favorite color for that year. Tied with Marina Blue, but I painted my '66 SS a "modern" Aztec as there are already enough Marina Blue Chevelles around.

The new No.7 is not like the old No.7. The new product is white and is of a thicker viscosity. However, I use it and like it…although I loved the original formula. There sure seems to be a lot of products in that arena.
I’ll tell you what product I do like is the Driven Spray Wax. We use it all the time on the race car and other stuff, too. Quick and easy but it’s not a miracle worker.

I remember the old #7 stuff, it was pretty good.

I see this now,Thanks John.
