Meguiars Professional Hand Polish

I ordered a bottle of this hoping it will be a little easier to work with than #7. However, from the description of the product according to meguiar's, they make it sound like it is an abrasive? I was looking for a pure abrasive free glaze to add a little for pop before I wax. Also, has anyone applied this with a pc? I have been applying #7 by hand, but could these products be applied using a pc and a finishing pad?
 
I used #81 on my black Santa Fe after I worked on the swirls with Poorboy's SSR2 and VM. Hand polish is even better and easier to apply than Mothers Sealer and Glaze. I was EXTREMELY pleased with the look after the #81. Two coats of UPP captured the look and added its own gloss. The car has NEVER looked better. People keep asking me when I got my new car. It's ten months old.
 
Hand Polish has extremely light cutting power and it will definitely add some 'pop' prior to waxing and in addition, it is easier to work with than #7.

Did you apply it by hand or use a pc?







Since it does have some cutting power is this something I want to use everytime I wax, if not how often should it be used?
 
Depends how often you like to wax your car, IMO If your the kind you who likes to wax every 3-6 months, then I would say no it's not necessary to use an abrasive before each waxing. Wash, clay (optional) seal, wax, and top if you wish should suffice. IMHO, An abrasive like #81 with it's cutting power, once a yr should be plenty to keep the finish looking awesome. Just my $.02,,,,,,91
 
I rather much believe that #81s "cutting power" is chemical rather than abrasive. And, I have a hunch you could use it every day and not harm the finish. Rubbing it on and off with a towel probably do more damage than the product. "Just my $0.02."
 
I know when I bought #81 Hand Polish at the Meg's distributor, I had a few questions about it. As the gentleman was answering my questions, he kept referring to it as a "glaze". And I beleive you can use a "glaze" as many times as you wax.



Take care..............V
