I have been using Meguiar's products for over 25 years and have never had anything but great results. I've used Meg. Gold Class, NXT and recently the #7 and #26. Very good products backed by years of results.
The first picture is of my '82 GT.....
Second is my '07 Stang's hood...

 

I was in the same boat. Tried both and now use all Meguiars product. And was amazed how well that back to black polish work.

 

That 07 is smoking....What color is it?
