DOES GREAT JOB FOR REMOVING BIRD DROPPINGS, TREE SAP ETC...ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTION WILL NOT REMOVE PRIOR WAS...LEAVES A A GLOSS FINISH

Used for vintage single stage paint restoration, google Mike Philips if you're wondering how to safely bring back vintage oxidized paint. Amazing product

I have a 2007 300C that is pearl black. I take pretty good care of it with regular waxing and an annual clay bar cleaning in the spring - it is stored in the winter. I use mainly Meguiar's products on the finish including their Ultimate Liquid Wax and detailing spray which are both excellent products. Over time though I have started to notice a discoloration mainly on the hood, where it looks like darker splotches similar to what might get left behind when wax is not removed properly.One thing I did notice is that the new bottle of wax, which I also purchased, was white compared to the one I had that was almost empty, which had turned a yellow/brown color. I don't know if it was like that originally and maybe Meguiar's changed their formula, but that bottle was a couple of years old so I am wondering if it was too old and went bad, if that is even a thing, and was the cause of the discoloration in the first place. I will definitely be paying more attention in the future.Anyway, I had thought about using one of the more aggressive polishing compounds, but there were no swirl marks or scratches so thought it might be over-kill and decided to try the M0716 first. My thinking was I can always go stronger if it did not work plus it was half the price. I applied it by hand in the early evening when the car was in the shade and the surface was cool. I used a wax application pad and did a small area first to test it out. I could see when I was applying it that it was interacting with the surface layer and not just laying on top so I worked it in until I could see it was uniform. I let it dry 10-15 minutes as recommended and removed it with a clean cotton t-shirt and towel. It came off easily enough although it took a little work, but in the end it removed all of the discoloration and left a real nice shine.I followed up with a coat of the Meguiar's Ultimate liquid wax and it came out great. All the discoloration is gone and the finish looks better than ever. I plan to do the rest of the car at some point even though the discoloration was isolated to the hood. I do have some swirl marks on the lower half of the car that show up when it is in direct sunlight so curious to see if it will get those out too.I am very happy with the results and can recommend this product without hesitation.Keep in mind though it might not work for you depending on what you are trying to achieve and what you are starting with. If you have a car with a lot of swirls and scratches, this is not really the product you need. It is more for cars with a nice clean surface that may have some light swirls or discoloration that need to be corrected.

Product does a great job and shines the car nicely

I felt confident in purchasing this polish as the Meguiar’s name is well know in the automotive industry and for quality products. My confidence was rewarded on a beautiful finish on my antique Ford. Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze gave me as good results as any product I have used in the past, and it was simple, easy and fast to apply. The directions caution to not let the product dry completely on the paint so it is important to work (apply, allow almost dry, clean off and polish) in reasonably small areas. And for sure do not apply this product in direct sunlight and only on a cool surface. Another great feature is that the polish dries clear so there is no annoying and often visible residue left in body joints and the like. I believe you will like this product as much as I do, and the price is reasonable, especially in comparison to so many of the competition. I believe you will be as pleased with the results of Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze as I am. I will definitely use it again, not only on my antique but also on my modern car.

Worked well easy to apply and wipe off

I've had much luck with Mequiars brand products, including the Cleaner Wax. My truck is outdoors in blistering heat and winter cold. So the paint takes a lot of abuse and I don't wash/wax it frequently. I used this on my 9-1/2 year old truck and was very happy with how much dirt it removed from the paint and how smooth it made the paint feel. I had to apply it a couple times on hard areas, but it definitely feels like it will help protect the paint. I applied and removed it by hand, no buffers or polishers.

It isn't magic, but it does help obscure very fine scratches. It will NOT fill significant scratches or lines, but if you have some hazing or very fine swirl marks, this should okay.I'd like it to really hide flaws. In theory a glaze could, but this is not that glaze. It goes on easy enough, and comes off easy enough, just don't let it dry. It also tends to not sling when being applied, keeping use mostly mess free.So it works okay, not great, but it also not very expensive. I am still searching for something better, because this isn't it.
