Default Hello / Trying to find Meguiar's #7 polish (like I remember it)

Hello all,
I remember using Meguiar's #7 back in late 80's & 90's that was thin viscosity, greenish in color and kind of greasy feeling. It worked wonders on revitalizing old GM lacquer paint I dealt with on typical used muscle cars available then. I bought a bottle recently that is called #7 but nothing like the original stuff, unless I'm mistaken. Any help with finding original formula or a simular product? I'm trying to bring back some shine on original paint trunk lid on my '71 Skylark Custom. Much appreciated!
Jerry

Suggest talking to Meguiars and ask them if their formulation has changed. I am still using the same bottle I bought a dozen years ago so I can't compare the old stuff to the new

The only no. 7 I have seen is in a bottle now. The bottle I have is a tan color of glaze. The latest is called M07 in a black bottle.

I talked to a guy at the Meguires truck at good guys and he said the bottle for no 7 has changed a couple times but still the same product. The bottle they had today is black

I used #7 for years and can't find it any longer. I'm glad you asked this question.

If you are open to suggestions, I had wonderful results with Adam’s Brilliant Glaze on my worn out paint ‘66 Impala.

Below is the only image I could hot-link.
