I figured I would try the Meguiars #7 procedure and purchased a bottle. It's not cheap but hopefully it will accomplish the mission.

Thanks again...

I recently used #7 y applying it and let is sit overnight. I used a terry cloth rag to remove and followed up with wax. Came out great!

I think I put near half a quart into my Corvette before it started to shine...














And Dave's old L78 vert - after clay barring and one application of Meguires number 7.











A couple of drips from the factory...

Very nice, you can't hurt anything with wax.
