I have notice in Robbies DVD vs other sources, some use Meguiars 7 vs 9
What are the advantages of each and what are the differences???

Grit difference. I think I have this right #7 is a glaze and #9 is a Swirl remover I use to use #7 all the time. The funny thing is to me #9 seems finer to the touch than #7 but you would think a Swirl remover would be courser cut than a glazing compound

Correct Michael
7 is the glaze and 9 is the swirl remover.
I assume 9 has some grit to it for that purpose.
So do you use 7 to buff to a high gloss by hand

I havein the past and it work fine, but now use 3m Perfect-it

get both bottels of the Mcguires and tell me if the #9 swirl remover does not feel finer than the #7 glaze this is backward to me

Andy,
From my experience, the Novus Plastic Polish #2 is the best for FP. Fernandez mentions using this in his video on FP'ing. Good luck!

as far as liquids go, I use Meguiars 10 and 17 .. 10 is the finer of the two. Thats what LMI sold as fine and very fine a few years back - they simply stuck their label over the meguiars one ... i peeled it bakc to find out what it was, as its usually cheaper if I can find the same thing locally. Plus I dont have to wait for it to ship !!!!TonyKarol39035.6848032407
