Funny, I just purchased these two today from Autozone. Hoping they'll be a nice follow-up to the next time I use clay and polish compound. I too, would appreciate any input on these.

#7 can be tricky to work with but if you use it properly it adds a nice dimension to your paint, a lot of gloss. #26 is a very good carnauba wax, not the best though. It's big thing is ease of use. I still love both though.

They're both good products for their intended use -- #7 as a pure polish to give some extra depth or pop prior to your wax of choice, and #26 as a solid carnuba wax.

so #7 is basically step 2 in the DC system kind of? you apply before a wax, and in my case NXT 2.0 paste

I usually top #7 with either #26 or NXT, depending on the vehicle. #7 won't help with swirls or anything like that -- it just adds a certain richness (especially on dark colors) to the end result.

Personally I love using 07 before my lsp. I think it adds a lot more depth to the paint. I love 26 as well. I like topping it on top of
Mxt or 21. Both are great products that you should definitely try out.

I tried it after claying and using polishing compound on my tailgate and a rear fender that weren't in the greatest of shape. The polishing compound did most of the work, but these two were definitely a nice follow up. Also got to put my DAB that I got for Christmas to good use.
