Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Also UFF up to a year, HCW 2-4 month (depending on condition of the car)

Not according to Nick Winn, in this very thread he says this:

Regarding durability, Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax has similar durability to our Ultimate Fast Finish, but remember, durability all depends on maintenance.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

I'd say after watching some videos. UFF is as easy. The benefit over UFF is that it can be (or should be) used when the car is wet. The harder stream you use to wash it off the more you will gain.

So: UFF on a dry car, HCW on wet car. Also UFF up to a year, HCW 2-4 month (depending on condition of the car)

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

I'm very excited to try this product! Will it be sold at Walmart? I've been using UFF since it came out and have had great results with it, I love the fact that it acts similar to a ceramic coating (very hydrophobic) and I find the protection to be very strong (I get a lot of bird bombs on my finish at work and it used to leave etchings in the paint in the past, but with UFF I don't have any paint etching!) UFF is very easy to use and I love the idea that this product is even easier to use!

I just watched both of these videos yesterday. Now I REALLY, REALLY want to try it

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

So how will this work on a car already sealed with M21, or M21 topped with Ultimate Liquid Wax?

Extremely well, actually. In fact, initial application will be easier on a well maintained car than on a horribly neglected car where the water lays on the paint in one great big sheet.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

To get the maximum effect of the Hybrid Ceramic Wax, I would not recommend using a drying aid in addition to an application of this product, at least, in the same wash. For example, if you apply Hybrid Ceramic Wax, rinse, & then dry the car w/ the assistance of a different drying aid, you will see the water beading from your drying aid at first, and not from HCW. And don't worry, after using HCW, the car should be super easy to dry. I would also recommend checking out the below article if you have not seen it yet:

How to use Meguiar's NEW Hybrid Ceramic Wax!



Our's tends to like to have a base coat of wax/sealant to bond to. There is no actual natural carnauba wax in our Hybrid Ceramic Wax, it's a polymer/si02 blend.



55 degrees Fahrenheit is our minimum recommendation for application of our products, but if anything, low temps are not going to hurt anything.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Since the application of this is 'wet on wet' can you still use something like D156 Xpress Spray Wax as a drying aid? Will it interfere with either product?

I have found with many of these water activated SiO2 products you can spray it onto your wet wash mit and apply more evenly, then rinse. I normally do one panel at a time to minimize streaking.

Meguires Hybrid Ceramic Wax is supposed to be able to be applied over wax. If you try this with other brands they will streak and not bond well.

Is there really wax in this product or is that word just used for marketing? Like NXT Wax.

Any idea what the temperature range is. More interested in the low side. If temps get up to 40 in the winter I will get out and hand wash when I can (regardless of the looks I get by passer by lol). Could this be applied in those temps?

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Also, we have never claimed Ultimate Liquid or Paste Wax to have the potential to last a year.

Meant Ultimate Fast Finish.

To answer your question regarding why not make a car wash soap with this, I am not involved in all the details regarding why we choose a particular format or not, so tough to answer. I am happy to pass along your feedback though.

The Ultimate Wash has some wax in it already so if your chemists can kick it up a notch by using the ceramic type with the properties mentioned previously, THAT would be the ultimate. If you need my address for sending the royalty checks for coming up with the idea, let me know.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

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

In the US you will start to see it available online mid December or earlier. Retail stores will be more towards March or later.

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?

Hopefully the following can help you out! The main rationale for this product is to give a user the ability to get long lasting protection on their car extremely quick & easy. Ultimate Fast Finish shares the same rationale, but is a different application method & different base chemistry. Also, we have never claimed Ultimate Liquid or Paste Wax to have the potential to last a year.

Hybrid Ceramic Wax can be used as your main source of protection or in other words, in place of a wax/sealant. It can also be used in addition to your favorite wax/sealant.

To answer your question regarding why not make a car wash soap with this, I am not involved in all the details regarding why we choose a particular format or not, so tough to answer. I am happy to pass along your feedback though. Also, definitely would not just "mix the two together", your likely not going to get anywhere near the benefits since it is not designed to be used that way. In other words, it not that simple.
