No doubt the car looks great. I'm sure the pictures don't do it justice, they usually don't.
I see where your coming from though. I don't have much experience with it, but the Glaze part of it set off an alert that it's usually not an LSP, even Mike Phillips explains that; "By the way, as someone else commented, usually, #7 is applied first, then wax is applied over it. This is because the #7 is water soluble and the wax isn't', thus the wax will act to "Lock" or "Seal" in the #7."
but he also made it sound like it's okay to put it as a last minute finish at a car show to get that extra shine. He'd know best. He also said it's intended mainly for single stage paints (not Honda's!) Here's his article. Meguiar's #7, by Mike Phillips - Autopia.org

It was the line from Autogeek that reads "Meguiar’s #7 Show Car Glaze is a true high-yield polish with no protective qualities. Be certain to follow application with a coat of top-quality wax such as Meguiar’s Premium Paint Protection or Meguiar’s Hi-Tech Paste Wax #26. The rich emollients and nourishing oils in #7 Show Car Glaze produce a very deep, heavy mirror-gloss shine. #7 is safe to use on all paints and clear coats."
That obviously lead me to believe it was a polish and could possibly remove the wax you had 1st applied. They should remove that statement if it has no abrasives to avoid confusion.
I was just trying to look out for you bud.

I'd hate to see that guy coming back complaining the water wasting beading or something, lol.
