Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

I find myself applying a foundation layer regardless of how perfect condition the paint is or not. That is also the company recommendation as well. Can you get away with out a foundation layer? Absolutely. Would you like to ensure you are getting maximum performance, apply foundation layer.

Then i do as the Company says!

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Just bought a bottle, so a question. How important is the first foundation layer? My car is full detailed with UFF as a last step (and some sonax spray and seal, cos i was to poor to buy HCW). Will i still need a foundation layer (my guess is yes) or could i cut some coners consider my paint is in good condition already

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

I wonder if you've gotten the wrong impression of the "first method" and "second method"? The Ceramic Wax product doesn't have to have a "first method" layer in order for it to stick. The "first method" is given so that you'll have complete (better) coverage, but it's not required to make the product work. (In my humble opinion)

Gotta agree with ya!

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

His video clearly shows that the second methods has zero effect. Let's say if we apply the first method first, then after awhile some of the layer has already gone, then we apply the second method but it would not attach on any part that doesn't has the layer to attach on. This whole design is a total failure.

This person shows that the "second step" doesn't work at all. Then basically this product...doesn't work as it claims.

The test panel seems to be beading water great to me? I would encourage you to try product for yourself and not make a judgement on one video. If you do want to further research prior to purchasing, start searching around more on YouTube, & other social media channels, and you should see that there is tremendous rave for the performance & ease of application for this product.

Don't worry about this guys videos. He does not make the best videos and often does not read on how to use it. Car Craft has a better video.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Hi everybody,
I'm new on the thread & forum and a lot of think to read. I buy the product and want to know how should be the condition of the paint to do good use of the product. I need to clean deep the paint like clay or polish and begin to use the product to work last longer between use of MHCW?

Any protection product will last and perform at its max when the surface is properly prepped. You will have to determine if you need to clay. But with claying you will create marring which will need some sort of polishing step.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

So I don’t use water on my black classic. Can you suggest a way to use this product or should I pass? I don’t have a clear-coat.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

I have one word>>>IMPRESSED!

Vehicle: 2018 Subaru Silver Gray

Process: 2 step detail (Ult Polish Ult Liquid Wax), let it 'cook' for a couple of days than applied the base coat of HCW, then a followup spray and power washer rinse. Looks good.

After about a month of relentless mid-west thunderstorms, more than impressed of how the water just rolls off.

Yesterday (7AUG19) washed, rinsed and sprayed the 3rd coat of HCW, rinsed with 'garden nozzle' and dried with MF drying towels. Now the big surprise, the shine became more enhanced! More than what I had with even the original ULW before HCW!

I'm not one that gets that excited, but when something works BEYOND what is expected...well that DOES excite me!

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

I had just gotten back from a 1,500 mile (give or take) road trip for a week up in Canada. Some of the roads we went on were un-paved, under-paved, or under construction (also - thanks Minnesota for the oil/tar covered highway... that was nice). We had gotten back late Saturday night and spent all that time unpacking the truck.

Sunday morning I finished unpacking, and only had 20-30 minutes to wash and wax the truck before we had to run some errands. If you ask me, that's where the Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic shines (literally too) - was that I was able to give the truck a decent wash and a quick wax without spending much time on it since I had already washed, clayed, polished and applied the base coat of the Hybrid Ceramic a while ago.

I'm a couple months in on using this stuff - and I still give it an A+ - my only disappointment right now is that I have to store my current bottle upside down. Somehow... crazy as this is, it slid off my seat going through a round-a-bout on my way home from the store, slammed into the door, and the bottom of the bottle is cracked (and leaks).

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Wasn't a whole bottle, but probably 3/4s, on a Jetta Sportwagen. I'll give it a go today if the weather holds out. Don't think its supposed to though
