Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

According to our R&D department, Hybrid Ceramic Wax can last up to a year.

Now I'm confused. Utimate Fast Finish and Ultimate Wax are are supposed to last that long. So can this product be used in place of those? And you only use it once a year even if you wash every week/month? And I already use Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax. What does this add to that? How about making a product like UW&W with the Hybrid Ceramic Wax so no need for a separate step of spraying it on after washing and rinsing a second time? Or could I just mix the two together?

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

When will this be available for purchase? And what kind of businesses will carry it?

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Was using Hybrid Ceramic Wax yesterday on my black 06 LS430. A couple notes for when some of you do start to get your hands on this product, it is very easy to be tempted to spray a lot of product, ensuring even coverage across every inch of paint. This is not needed, but again, it's very easy to feel like it is needed. The product is spread across the paint with the rinsing of the water, so applying a heavy application is not necessary. I will have a detailed thread soon on application.

This product makes drying of the vehicle exceptionally easy, and I was not even using D.I. water.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Do you see a Detailers Line product version of this in the future? One that can be bought in larger quantities like I prefer to by my Mequiars products

I am not involved in those discussions so tough to say yes or no

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

How about drying methods Nick. Would there be any disadvantage to drying with a jelly blade / squeegee type method? I'm wondering if the rubber blade dragging over the newly coated surface would have any effect.

It is recommended to dry with a quality microfiber towel, like Meguiar's Water Magnet. This plays an important part in the application of this product & other drying methods, like a rubber blade, or even air drying, to my knowledge at this time, are not recommended.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

According to our R&D department, Hybrid Ceramic Wax can last up to a year. With that said, durability will be based on how the vehicle is stored & maintained. For example, a car that is not daily driven, stored indoors, wiped down with a detail spray everyday, was properly prepared, clayed, etc. is going to have much greater durability than a car that is driven daily, stored outdoors, washed monthly, was not properly prepared, etc.

The way i see it (with this product). Is that its so easy to use, requires only water. So if it last a month am more then happy, because thats what i normally wash my car winter time. I know, am lazy but the winter weather in Sweden....

So this product will absolutly awsome. I REALLY hope Meguiars sweden brings this in (they said:
"Note we will evaluate which ones we will release in Sweden". Its not what all others like or wants, its what they like. Meguiars Sweden are runned like a exclusive club for a few. There is no suprise Mothers are the biggest brand here

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

I use Hydro2 to boost my coated car hydrophobicity, the thing is that it’s only supposed to last UP TO 3 months, and I don’t remember where or when I read or heard that HCW it’s supposed to last up to a year.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

So I am assuming similar to Gyeon Wet Coat or Carpro Hydro 2. What makes this product different from those? What is the estimated durability of the product

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Ok how about this application, can the new HCW be applied to a wet car fresh out of the automatic car wash, then wiped off? Or does it need an application of water again before being wipe-off?

Nick & Brian,
I understand the application as you have described it, but has Meg done any testing of what the effect (if any) would be of applying the new Ceramic Wax on a dry car that has already been ceramic coated? Benefits? No effect? etc.

Vettefan

It likes to be rinsed with water, a strong stream at that.

Yes similar in the application aspect. I agree with Nick that durability is based on too many factors. You will more than likely be using it quite often given how easy it is to use.

These types of products are water activated so you will need some water on the surface.
