Glaze question Megs #3

[Reverend]

Cleaning out some of my father's estate items and ran across several bottles of Meguir Mirror Glaze #3 Professional machine glaze. I have never used this product, can anyone tell me a little about this product?

Its a very very very light polish/glaze. Not worth a whole lot on clear coats but works magic on single stage paints.

How old are the bottles? If they are very old there are collectors who buy old car care products.

I don't know how old they are. The product seems to be still semi-liquid, not dried out or anything. Price tag on the 16 oz bottle is $3.75. Dad passed away in 2000. This is older than that since he went blind way before then. I think he quit working on cars about 1990.

Not quite old enough to be worth anything, bummer.

If your using a carnuaba wax i would claybar, use the #3, then wax. It will enhance the shine a bit and hide alot of the swirl marks.

I used that stuff when I wet sanded the oxidation off my headlights. However it was a bottle of fresh glaze i had just bought.

good stuff.

It would be worthless after wetsanding. Its to mild to remove the wetsanding marks, especially from plastic.

#3 is a 1 on the abbrasive scale, which basicly means it has almost no cut to it. That means it wont correct scratches, swirl marks, micro-marring, etches or any imperfections. Its good to use to hide imperfections you couldnt remove with the compounding and polishing stages.

Its best used as a very last step before waxing/sealing.

Thanks for all the great info. you guys are great and have always helped me and answered questions. But like any site, you have a few that get a little nasty if you do not do things perfectly here. So I won't post any more.

Thanks!

I hope we have put your mind at ease in regards to the incident you are referring to ... it was a simple misunderstanding, in my opinion :)

Your Right! Duh, the stuff I used was like #9 or #13 or something.

I figured you probably used their single digit series compounds for wetsanding :lol:
