Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Hello,
I've applied the HCW as per the instructions. HCW works as expected.
However, I wanted to know if any wax or polish can be applied on top of the HCW for added shine ?
Thanks

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Question, We have really hard water here in AZ so I usually have to go to the car wash and use the spot-free rinse option to try to keep spots to a min. Can I apply this using the lower spray pressure of the spot free rinse or does it require higher pressure? I thought I saw a post in here saying that one person sprayed their panel down to wet it then wiped this on using a towel that was moistend with the product and then dried afterward? Would that be a better optino for application?

I would recommend spraying/spreading Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax with the high pressure & then using the spot free for final rinse. I don't think the spot free is going to be strong enough. You can always "wax as you dry" but the "wax as your rinse" method is ideal after you have established a base coat. Check out the below link if you have not seen already:

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

In early summer last year I applied a Meguiar’s Hi-Tech ‘26’ yellow paste wax foundation on my 2019 Blade Silver C7 Corvette, followed a week later by a coating of Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic wax. For the remaining summer and early fall my Corvette probably received 2-3 more treatments of HCW before it was covered and went into unheated winter storage for the past 6 months here in Ontario, Canada. As we enter into the 2020 driving season I am considering applying a new foundation coat using Meguiar’s ‘Ultimate Liquid Wax’ followed by a coating of HCW, however I am curious as to Meguiar’s recommendations:
- does a new foundation coating of ‘Ultimate Liquid Wax’ serve any benefits
- seeing that my C7 already has HCW on its surface, any necessary steps needed prior to applying the ULW
- is there a recommended number of HCW applications per season (I’m considering applying every 4-6 weeks).

Helpful hint: Buy a standard 32 oz spray bottle, pour the HCW from the Meguiar’s bottle, add about 2 ounces of water into the Meguiar’s bottle, shake and pour into the 32 oz bottle, shake again. The two ounces of water will dilute the HCW just enough to the eliminate the ‘globing’ effect you may experience with the Meguiar’s spray bottle and the adjustable nozzle on the 32 oz bottle allows for finer droplets when spraying.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

What type of durability are people seeing? I'm reading reports of "same as UFF" (which Im not familiar with) to "up to a year" to "better than ULW." Whats one to believe??

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Hi,

anyone tried of dilution of HCW with Meguiar x-press D15601? I was having the thought by combining that both will make the HCW less thick and easier to apply and at the same time having the properties of the slickness of D15601

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Thanx for the reply Michael.

I should have been much more specific in my question...I am referring to Hybrid Ceramic Wax (G190526), the water activated blue spray (the one that smells like blueberry). It's my understanding that it is more of an LSP that 'touch-up' product (that's what I'm using it for and I DO LIKE it).

Make sense?

TIA again...

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

With the introduction of more 'ceramic' products, especially M-27 and ceramic detailer...where and how does HCW play into the picture?

TIA!

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

If I were to use both ultimate fast finish and hybrid ceramic wash, the same day would the order matter? Should I apply first and then the other one?

Or should I just intercalate ultimate fast finish after one wash and hybric ceramic wash after the next wash?

Thanks!

One of the best features of HCW is the extreme water beading and, therefore, almost self cleaning characteristics introduced by that beading. If you apply something else on top of it that does not offer the same extreme hydrophobic character then you'll compromise the best thing about HCW by masking it with that other product. No need to use both UFF and UCW, but if you really want to, then apply HCW last.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

I've done 2 foundation layers (awell, i dont trust myself lol). Followed with 2 normal ways. I still have some in the bottle - so to me its a good deal, even though we (in Sweden) pay alot more then you US peeps $26 a bottle

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Yeah, I used to much at first, and maybe still a bit, but getting better.

I only get to wash once a month or so, so i use iit each time... But seems to hold up well.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

I know you want a number. Yet the answer is more of text than a number. "It Depends". Do you want the number of days/weeks for a car outside in the sun everyday, or for the one in the garage or covered parking structure?

Yet I think giving you this second short video reference on the proper way to use the product, and then following up with this question to you might be more beneficial.

The follow up question for after the video is:
"Since you wash your vehicle about once a week, what is the cost in time & $ compared to the benefit you would expect to see if you used Hybrid Ceramic Wax once a month after a weekly wash of your vehicle?"

Keep in mind that after your foundation layer, you should be able to use about 1/8th of a bottle for normal maintenance for a small CX3.

That second video answered ALL my questions. THANKS FOR THAT!

I also like the fact that my next bottle will last a lot longer than the first one I bought.

School is out.
