Meguiars synthetic sealant vs meguiars ultimate liquid wax

[Shogun88888888]

Debating between the two. Searched but didn't find anything

Pros and cons of each or one versus the other. Cost being irrelevant.
Which one and why, etc

Or, something better

Re: Meguiars synthetic sealant vs meguiars ultimate liquid wax

Well one is a wax and the other is a synthetic sealant.
It's up to you what you want to use.
Me? I love synthetics, M20 is my goto.

In my van I have over 8 different waxes/sealants. Different paint/conditions/storage is what determines what I use.

So it's up to you what to use. Try them out and see what you like.

Difference between m20 and m21? I do prefer fully synthetic

[Detailing by M]

21 has more cleaning power

Re: Meguiars synthetic sealant vs meguiars ultimate liquid wax

M21/NXT 2.0 and Ultimate Liquid wax are 100% sealants, no wax in either one of them. M20 is a blend of synthetics and some natural substances. M20 is a light cleaner hybrid, M21 is a finishing sealant, no cleaning abilities.

Ultimate Liquid Wax is the most durable, best protecting of the group according to Meguiars.

m21 is a cleaner.
where did you get that it isn't?

Re: Meguiars synthetic sealant vs meguiars ultimate liquid wax

Checking Meguiars site, they don't have either NXT 2.0, or M21 listed under cleaner waxes, but do list the consumer Cleaner wax, M6, M66, D151, ColorX, White Wax, Black Wax and M20

M21 from Pro 2013 Catalog:
• Hydrophobic Polymer Technology™ provides amazing gloss and water beading

•

Technologically Advanced Paint Care and Protection

•

Produces a noticeable deeper, darker, more reflective paint finish

•

Visually eliminates fine scratches and swirls, creating a flawless finish

• Glides on easily with a smooth, resistance-free wipe-off

Re: Meguiars synthetic sealant vs meguiars ultimate liquid wax

I think the Visually eliminates fine scratches and swirls refers to the filling/hiding capabilities, I'm pretty sure it won't remove them. It may have actual cleaners, I don't know, I am just going by what Meguars has listed. If Mario says it cleans from 1st hand use, I have no reason to doubt him.

Agreed

Re: Meguiars synthetic sealant vs meguiars ultimate liquid wax

Aren't there three general categories of waxes?
Natural
Hybrid
Synthetic

Natural containing a naturally occurring plant wax such as carnauba or similar
Synthetic being primarily a man made compound
Hybrid a mix of those two


Aren't M21 and Ultimate both synthetic waxes with Ultimate having better longevity?

[Shogun88888888]

Yeah. I get the two being basically the same. But the ultimate liquid having better availability in local stores.

[jarred767]

I always thought that M20 was the one that had cleaning abilities and M21 was a pure sealant, but I could be wrong. I love 21, and the way it tops a car, but was kinda along the same lines as others that it fills more than it cleans.

Just my personal opinion, so take it for what's it worth, (which probably isn't a whole a lot)

Re: Meguiars synthetic sealant vs meguiars ultimate liquid wax

according to meguiars or specifically meguiarsdirect, you will find M20 Polymer Sealant under cleaner waxes, description is as follows: Polymer Sealant is a unique blend of polymers, silicones and imported waxes that create a brilliant high gloss finish that outlasts all other traditional waxes.
Safe and effective on all paint finishes, including clear coats. Ok , no mention of cleaners in the product description but it is under the cleaner wax category in meguiarsdirect, under cleaner waxes. Under waxes and sealants, you will find M26 yellow wax and M21 synthetic sealant 2.0
