Default 7 Plus 26 Looks Good on 16

A good cleaning, claybar, glaze and wax.

Meguiars Show Car Glaze #7 PLUS Meguiars Hi Tech Wax #26 on a sixteen year-old car.

HOT looking 16 year old

I can’t argue with you, she does look great.

UPDATE:

I guess I didn't get enough yesterday. Decided on one more coat of the #26.

Going to rain a lot over the next 4 days, so at least it can look good in the garage.

Nice shine Allegro! I’m a Zaino guy, but also use some Meguiar’s products on occasion.

#7 does a great job of enhancing gloss. All that oil fills in all the surface imperfections. I just wish it lasted longer. It won't allow the #26 to bond to the paint very well. Great combo for before shows, though! Makes paint look really wet!

I'm not sure that anything will really stick to the #7. Amazing stuff and what a shine

Though I don't drive it very often, it in fact has over 40K on the clock.

I am proud to have cared for it and maintained it to this level. Whether anyone else appreciates it or not, I like it and it makes me feel good to drive it.

Just why I bought it in the first place.

Thanks everyone.

Barry

Looks great! I'm more driver than a waxer but I do appreciate a good two or three step polish. In fact I got teased at the track for doing a 3 step polish on the race car with my Flex polisher between instructing sessions Name:  photo711.jpg

Nothing wrong with keeping your investment in the best condition you can! Think of the extra MPH you get in the straights with that low-drag surface.
