I took this trick from Mike Phillips, a very skilled detailer and who knows meguiars products more than anyone on this planet.

Really? He said use it as an LSP? or apply it by hand? A GLAZE is not a wax, hence the name glaze.

Furthermore, to define a GLAZE: "
A glaze is a shine-enhancing product that goes on after polishing but before the wax or sealant. It is made with oils and wetting agents that amplify your paint’s shine and improve the clarity. Glazes are usually used by auto manufacturers and paint and body shops to prefect freshly painted surfaces before the vehicle is handed over to the consumer.
Glazes generally do not have protective qualities, but they may have fillers that hide any slight imperfections in the paint. A glaze is often used by a body shop after compounding to restore the shine and eliminate haze.
A glaze is not a polish or wax. It is strictly a
shine-enhancing agent that will produce a dramatic wet look on your paint. On the concours series, a glaze is essential to achieve a winning deep gloss.
Most glazes have no protective qualities so always follow with a wax or sealant."
I can keep going all day long.
all stating that #7 is not an LSP and has no protective qualities. I'm sure you misunderstood what Mike Phillips was saying. I wouldn't argue with him, but I doubt he'd recommend using #7 as an LSP as it would defeat the purpose of the detail.
