Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Good morning... I used the Hybrid Ceramic Wax and it came out all spotty looking. Reading through here it was likely a combination of using too much and spraying the entire car then rinsing. What would be a good product to use to remove it and start fresh? I don't mind buying another bottle to redo. Luckily its only $15 where I live! Its been about 36 hours since I did it. Yesterday was heavy rain after work.

Yeah, if you used a whole bottle, you used too much.

I put a bit too much on in areas my first time and it dried a bit, but just re-wetting the panel and drying took care of most of it. And looks evened out fine now.

Since it has been a couple days, you might be able to just wash the car and dry and see if it evens things out.

In Australia its $55.00au, rip off

Every Meguiars product is very expensive in Sweden (if you compare to example, Mothers). But i dont want to use Mothers, because i have no support for their products. I really love this fourum, i can get support from Meguiars and others for the products i bought.

But this is how i done, i buy them from Ebay for example. Even with shipping it costs less then from Sweden. And i really dislike the fact that Meguiars Sweden decide what they should take in. I want to decide myself

Australia is a great country.
However, in my past I looked at possibly importing and exporting products. The country's imposed costs added up very quickly.

Most imported goods are subject to Australian Customs duties and 10% goods service tax.
There are many different regulations and sometimes complex duty rates applicable to imported cargo.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

I so badly want to try this! However the price, as i 've said many times...$30 for a bottle, but most that i detail my car during my vacation from work (we get 5 weeks paid vacation here in Sweden summertime. Dont know if US/Canada get the same). Anyway, my car is done now so now i would need it, but its out of stock in hole sweden. Earliest restocking will be August they say, but they aren't sure. That ***** - so for now i can only watch others using it.

Sure i can get it from somewere else (some other country, (even Ebay). But am not really keen in paing twice the price for shipping, making it almost a $100 dollar bottle


But always look on the bright side, now its summer here - soon autumn with a lot of rain, then winter with snow/rain. I willll have plenty of time looking at those waterbeads

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Agree with Snozan...Me thinks he just doesn't like ANY product that Meguiar's produces.

Agree with Snozan also. Plus, look at this one and see how good Hybrid Ceramic Wax fills in defects and deepens the paint. This person did use it full strength without any water on the surface which I have done and it does the best at filling in and deepening this way. It also streaks but, follow with a damp microfiber and the streaks smooth out. Plenty other YouTube videos showing HCW is a great product and value also. https://youtu.be/usA3lvRbFO4

used "Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax - THE TRUTH!..Product Is a Joke!" as the youtube title.
Any response for the youtube content?

He is a complete joke himself!

He dosent know what a datasheet is, like if Meguiars relased everything it contains? How many would duplicate it then...

He has absolutely no clue what he's talking about...

Can you use the Hybrid Ceramic Wax on a motorcycle? Is it safe to use on the engine, gearbox and chain for example?

Three Cars and Results Plus a Couple of Questions for the Product Pros!

Just wanted to share my experiences so far. I have applied HCW to three cars.

Car 1: Almost no base wax. I applied HCW early May (Mother's Day--my wife's car). I have not re applied, but it still seems to bead up pretty well. Applying with no base took a long time and I did fight some streaking. I found the easiest way to solve this was with a spray bottle of water and a little mist with a quick wipe to dry. This car was definitely the most work of the three and applying was a lot more work than a conventional carnuba.

Car 2: Car 2 I had clayed, applied paint sealant and carnuba prior to adding HCW. This car went on easily and had little streaking. Any streaking and a wet towel took care of it. This car hasn't been washed or driven since as it's one of my toys and they've been repaving my street for weeks now. Can't even get it out of the garage :-(.

Car 3: Car 3 had a base of Carnuba that was around 6 weeks old. The car took medium effort. I found the beading on this car was "ok". Again, had some streaking and needed spray bottle on initial application. This car is a dark blue. Beading wasn't great, but I washed the car last night and applied a heavy spray of the HCW and sprayed off with a power washed. I was amazed at how the car took on a freshly waxed look with beading and appearance. For the heck of it, I applied another spray coat of product and power washed the hood and trunk where the beading was less before the wash. I am very pleased with the second application.

Now to the Question: Is there any benefit in multiple spray on / power wash rinses after the initial application, or am I wasting product? I will add that applying as described above took a lot of product, but I'm not looking to save $14 product when protecting an expensive car's paint. Also, I found that when the product sat for a minute or two on the car before the rinse, it seemed to thicken. Is it advisable to let it sit a minute or two, or rinse right away? Letting it sit didn't seem to effect difficulty of rinse or removal, but it did make it easier to see the product spread out. Any advice is appreciated.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Thanks for the answers Nick.

It's been 7 weeks since I first applied HCW and it held up very nicely. I have been rinsing my car with a hose once a week and the dirt comes right off. It hasn't rained much recently so I only drove in the rain about 2 times but it was still pretty clean afterwards, there was just some dirt on the side of the back bumper near the tires. Also, it did well against bird droppings which I usually get about twice a week. When I hosed off the bird droppings, most of the time it comes right off. I then sometimes use Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere if necessary.

I washed my car today for the first time since applying HCW and it was very easy to wash. I then applied 2 coats of HCW, first spraying it onto the paint and spreading it with a MF towel and secondly just spraying it onto the paint and rinsing. I am very happy with HCW and would give it a 10/10. I have been using ULW to protect the paint and will now alternate between using ULW and HCW each time I wash my car. I will have to pay more attention next time I use ULW but it seems like HCW does a better job with keeping dirt off the paint while ULW gives the paint a better shine. Longevity seems about the same.

Also, I've been interested what other people think of HCW. I have looked at reviews here, on other websites and on Youtube. It seems like some people have their mind made up before even trying it and do not want to believe you can spray it onto a wet car and just rinse it off.

Thank you for taking the time to update us. Happy to hear you are enjoying product. I agree with you, the self cleaning ability of Hybrid Ceramic Wax is great.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Nice initial review. Thanks for sharing.

1 - HCW will not stain trim, provided you don't allow it to dry or something.
2 - Yes, it is recommended to wash your hands after use.
3 - Technically Hybrid Ceramic Wax has more durability. We recommend for best results to use Hybrid Ceramic Wax in addition to your favorite liquid or paste wax/sealant, like Ultimate Liquid Wax. HCW will not give the gloss that a Ultimate Liquid Wax can. It mainly focuses on protection. Although, if one would like, they can use HCW as their main source of protection, but again, for best results, we recommend using it in addition to standard liquid/paste base coat.
