Very cool! How does this compare to the spray waxes like Ultimate Wax? Does it offer protection as well as the spray waxes, or is this mostly geared for extra water beading?
You could call this a spray wax, but it is not applied quite the same as a spray wax. Hybrid Ceramic Wax is used by, first washing the vehicle, and then prior to rinsing, HCW is applied over the exterior of the vehicle, and then, it is recommended to rinse with a strong stream of water, and then dry. The product is not designed to be sprayed onto a dry panel, and then dry wiped. And yes, protection, in addition to the water beading.
Hi drumdan, it is designed to be applied during the washing step, after washing, but prior to rinsing & drying. It potentially can be used during a rinse-less wash, we would think you would need to do a pass with plain water with a microfiber mitt or towel, to help spread the product, and then dry. But again, it was designed to be used during a traditional wash process. We do imagine users will experiment like yourself with other application methods.
Simply meant the ceramic formula is different than anything previously in our line and application/spreading with rinse water is a very different method of application. Both have been mentioned briefly and/or discussed already in this thread.

I see =) Same as "Sonax spray and seal". Am sure there will be loads of posts about it before it reaches Sweden

Yes, similar application. However, I don't believe the product you are referring to utilize any Si02 technology. Regarding international availability, we don't have an estimate at this time, but I can tell you that availability should be MUCH sooner than in recent years.

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

I am not familiar with the products you have mentioned so it's hard to comment on what makes this different.
Regarding durability, Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax has similar durability to our Ultimate Fast Finish, but remember, durability all depends on maintenance.

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?

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.
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.

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

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.

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
