Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

I’ve had the product on one of my cars now for about 6 weeks. Because of heavy rain in February (Riverside County, CA) the car was washed for the first time yesterday, and the hydrophobic quality is gone. Did not last. Bummer.

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

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

I do a lot of rinseless washing.

Would this work in that situation?

I have the same question...has anyone tried HCW as a drying aid for a rinseless wash?

TIA - A4S

Yes, as long as the panel is still fairly wet from the rinseless wash. If not, just spritz some water or waterless wash (WW) onto the panel before the HCW, then wipe dry. I'd be curious if the water or WW worked best before the HCW. Let us know if you try!

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

I saw Scott's video, I trust Meguiar's products they have always done what they said they would do. If you notice in the video Scott never tested product he just read the ingredients off the MSDS. I haven't tested the product but I have read reviews from others who have tested it and watched videos of the tests and saw the results. Bottom line, Scott should test the product and see if it does what it claims to do, if it does then who cares what is or is not in it. If it doesn't perform like Meguiar's says it should then you can question the product based on the MSDS.

Did you view the Scott at Dallas Paint correction You Tube.

Good grief! Talk about 'product bashing'. After 2-3 min I just shut it down. Makes one wonder how he treats his customers.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Hi Nick
I have one question. How many percent SIO2 is in Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax?

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

I wonder if this can be used as a substitute for traditional wax. i.e. like how car dealerships use ceramic coatings that "permanently" bond to the paint and "eliminate" the need for wax. I watched the video tutorial (https://youtu.be/NVOFlynVxco), and Meguiar's stated old wax doesn't need to be stripped to use this product. This makes me think of it as more a topper to extend the life of traditional wax. But, it is ceramic, so perhaps not? I saw it at Walmart today with a $5 rebate. But, I don't want to buy it until I completely understand how it works.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Hello,
I put a 'foundation' layer of HCW on my A5 Sportback this weekend. The process overall went pretty smooth. It did take some elbow grease to get the final dry clean. I'm sure it was totally unnecessary, but 24 hours later I then added an application of Maguiar's NXT Tech wax. That certainly did add some additional luster that wasn't there with just the HCW. An inch of rain predicted today . . . let the hydrophobia begin!

Hi Chris,

Thanks for joining and telling us you experience. When applying the foundation layer, did you spray Hybrid Ceramic Wax (HCW) on the entire car & then dry? And then this is when you had trouble? Would be happy to further investigate with you because it should be easy to use. Would you say you applied a lot of product?

If you did spray Hybrid Ceramic Wax (HCW) on the entire car & then proceeded to dry, to complete the foundation layer, here's a recommendation, if you ever do another foundation layer, if you spray HCW on one panel at a time, and then dry, this will lessen the chance of having any of the product drying on the paint.

Also, you do not need a lot of product at all. It's very tempting to use a lot of product with Hybrid Ceramic Wax and it's not necessary.

Hope this helps

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Nick,

Thanks for the recommendations. I was just rather frustrated and should have considered that you all wouldn't put a product to market that has these issues, so I appreciate you being very graceful. I look forward to using this product again and other Meguiar's products in the future.

Thanks very much,
Ben
