Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Will applying a synthetic wax like Ul Liquid Wax OR a professional cleaner wax like M06 Cleaner/Wax on top of HCW have any (positive or negative) affect on HCW?

Brian or Nick,

Is there a cure time between applying HCW (via the drying aid method) and then applying a layer of UFF? How long should I wait?

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Anyone use this after an ultimate liquid wax?

My traditional method was ULP then ULW then maint. with UQW while drying. I guess that the UCW may be my new go to.

Thanks!

Yes I just did ULW last week then after washing this week did the Hybrid Ceramic Wax via the drying aid method (spray on wet car and dry). Seems to have worked great. 👍🏼

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Understand... Thanks Brian. Unfortunately, in my case the town where we live frowns upon washing cars in your own driveway. It's an environmental thing here.

Where is that?? I know there are condo communities where you can't wash your car, but I'm unaware of any towns in NJ where you can't wash your car unless we're under water restrictions which AFAIK we haven't been anywhere in NJ for the last several years.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

There is no curing time. You can employ the second application method immediately after completing the first.

Again, thank you Brian. You have been most helpful. Can't wait to try it once the weather here warms up.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Great! Thanks Brian. Is there a curing time after the initial application that I should wait before applying a follow-on application?

It can certainly be used on glass and trim but be aware it may not be as effective as it is designed to bond best to paint.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

What effect (if any) will the HCW have on glass or plastic trim?

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

In theory if you get enough water on the surface you could do the initial foundational layer this way; however you may not see much water beading until the next time the car is rinsed/washed.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Nick,
Can I use a spray bottle of water to wet one panel at a time then spray HCW on that panel while wet and wipe dry with a microfiber? Bottom line, I would be applying HCW one panel at a time instead of using the hose on the entire car. Do you think this will work?

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Great product. I've used it (1) as a drying aid after a rinseless wash for my car, which is garage-kept; and, (2) using it as directed on my ungaraged, DD truck. The spray-and-rinse maintenance following a two-bucket wash really brings the hydrophobic properties back that had faded on the lower half of vehicle following the endless rain we've been getting in East Tennessee.

Well done Meguiar's!

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

How did you wash it? Like what soap did you use?

Two bucket wash with microfiber mitt, top down, and used Zymol auto wash soap. I’ll be going back to Blackfire sealant/wax. It lasts.
