Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax

I would like to start using Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax (HCLW) as my main wax, but I have a (half-full) gallon of D115 that I usually use in between car washes as a waterless wash. Reading through the M27 discussion it appears that using D115 may interfere with HCLW's performance because D115 includes a wax. I have two questions:

1) Can I still use D115 as a waterless wash without interfering with HCLW?

2) If not, is diluted M799 the best thing to use as a waterless wash/wax? Is there a best ratio?

Thanks!!

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax

Ok i topped off the ceramic wax over the ultimate liquid wax.

So i always for my paint correction be : clay, ultimate compound, utimate polish, blackfire sealant ( let that sit for 24hrs before buffing) and ultimate wax.
I stumbled onto the ceramic wax as i was surfing the web on my day off (FDNY EMT/Medic) in quarantine! (shout out to all CFRs and healthcare workers fighting this!)

I decided to layer the ceramic wax over the liquid wax as i had a long weekend.

ill post some pics but the vid in action is on my phone and ill try and see if i can find out how to upload. I only got IG : /

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax

Would I be correct in saying Ultimate Liquid Wax would win for gloss and HCLW would win in durability?

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax

I'd stick with the hybrid ceramic detailer.

And UW as a topper for gloss..

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax

Ideally you would want HCLW as your base as it has become the most durable consumer product.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax

Will HCLW have any negative affect on UW..such as dulling gloss if used as a topper over UW..

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax

What would be the correct steps after a paint correction? I was going to do an IPA wipe down then M27 sealant followed by HCLW on top? What would be the approximate longevity of the products layered together?

You would be fine with just M27. From my testing it leaves a better gloss and darkening effect compared to HCLW. Similar to the look of UW.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax

not sure if this was asked but i went through the pages and didnt see it.

So im about to finish my full detail:
i clayed, Ultimate compound, ultimate polish and applied blackfire sealant. i did not apply my Ultimate Liquid Wax yet and was wondering :

Can I applied the Ultimate Liquid Wax and then the Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax? Is the Ultimate Liquid Wax not needed or with the combination of both add to the protection of the vehicle?


My process always been Clay, Ultimate Compound, Ultimate Polish and finish it off with Ultimate Liquid Wax. Do it maybe 2-3 times a year with weekly washes. I noticed this new ceramic technology and seeing if i want to try it out.

Cheers!

Ultimate Wax is actually a sealant so you don't need to use it if you already applied blackfire. You can use the hybrid ceramic liquid wax as a stand alone.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax

Used this product for the first time last night. Brand new Honda Accord that was fresh off the truck at the dealer. Never washed before I washed it last night, I've never felt or seen paint like this. Product went on and came back off with ease. Just curious how durability will be but its hard to know since I use a QW when drying. I tried to keep it off the plastic/rubber since I couldnt find on the bottle where it said if its ok for such surfaces. It does say its ok for plastic but I took that to mean head lights n such.

I've never had good luck with ultimate wax, always smeared and made dark splotches on the paint. Ill have to try this new ceramic wax on a vehicle that isnt pristine to see how it performs on everyday paint.
