Re: Meguiar's 3 in 1 Wax

Just had my first go with this over the weekend. Color me impressed! My black paint came out great! Was quite busy on Saturday and left it as my LSP. Will be keeping and eye on its durability.

Is Meguiar's car Wash Plus+ available? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Meguiar's Car Wash Plus+ is no longer in production & discontinued at this time.

Re: Meguiar's 3 in 1 Wax

Are there advantages to using 3-in-1 over Meguiar's wash plus, if I want to remove some super light scratches in one of my vehicles? I am very lazy and want to minimize the effort involved . I do not own any polishing machines nor do I wish to.

.

Wash Plus will not remove light swirls or scratches. It has the ability to remove paint transfer or a light "scuff", but not light swirls or scratches. That said, if you want to minimize effort, 3 in 1 is absolutely our most premium option at this time in a cleaner wax, which saves time.

Just curious, does this have a cure time? I'd like to apply a layer of Meguairs Ultimate Fast Finish on top of it, but I can wait if need be.

Yes, 24 hours is best. Just to clarify for others who maybe viewing, we are referring to the cure time, not the dry time. The dry time after the product is applied to the paint should be at least 10 - 15 minutes. The product takes a full 12 - 24 hours to cure, after wiping off the product residue, to reach it's full potential. At this point, not required, but if preferred, it would be best to apply an additional product, like Ultimate Fast Finish.

Finally got to the point of using this product on my ‘17 highlander as I cannot remember when was the last time I waxed it. Anyway, paint had a few deeper scratches with the hairline scratches throughout. Deep scratches were on hood and door cup handles. I used ScratchX for those deeper scratches and a few stubborn bug guts (I live in Floriduh) and it did an amazing job.

I applied the 3 in 1 with the DA Power System G3500 (I am not a pro) with the polishing pad. I knew I was going in with additional cutting with the polishing pad and it did not disappoint. Paint looks like a mirror at this point. I am sure I got 90% of the hairline scratches out but will take a look under direct sunlight tomorrow to assess.

Great product for a ‘driveway enthusiast’.

What does it smell like?

It actually smells similar to A12 Cleaner Wax.

Hi & yes, middle of next month you will start to see items for sale online.

I still can't find this in Canada at all. No Canadian Tire, not Wal Mart, nothing. Only options are to import and pay shipping and duties.

Re: Meguiar's 3 in 1 Wax

I didn’t, only because it seems like I was adding “smaller” swirls? If that makes any sense. I have some ultimate polish I can give a try with or even some 205. Just figured I’d give D166 a go and see what happens. I wasn’t sure if my technique was correct or not. I’ll try another polish though, and see what the outcome is.

Sounds like you may be seeing micro marring. Usually happens with softer paints.

Have you considered stepping up to a polish and see if that takes care of the defects.

Yes, I tried both pads at different speeds and different amount of passes. If I can make it out to a TNOG, I will definately go. All depends with my work schedule.
