Meguiar'sHybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax, Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax with Advanced SiO2 Hybrid Technology - 16 Oz Bottle

This ceramic product is different than other liquid and paste products I have used. Per directions a thin coat is applied one section at a time. Then wiped off before moving to the next section as it dries quickly this wasn’t a problem. It doesn’t form a haze like other products. It was easy to apply and remove leaving a super shiny finish. Now 3 weeks later and needing a wash, the shine still ones through. This is a terrific product.

Goes on easy and comes off just as well. I used a buffer for applying and hand wipe off. Highly recommend!

This stuff is awesome. I tried some Chemical Guys' Hydro Slick (after claying the paint) prior to this and did it by hand and you could see the application marks where I applied the Hydro Slick.Despite the car always having been garaged, after about a week I couldn't stand the application marks anymore so I then used some Meguiar's Cleaner Wax and bought a buffer to remove the application marks, then applied this Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax -- and suddenly I could see the metal flakes in the paint really pop! When I used the Hydro Slick, that didn't happen (I have a 2013 Subaru Legacy Limited with 50K miles). Maybe it was because I applied it by hand and without a buffer but I think it is due to the quality of the Mequiar's. Thirty years ago I owned a very successful car detailing business so I think I'm a good judge of materials since I've detailed many hundreds if not thousands of cars (I don't have any of my equipment left which is why I decided to buy a buffer). This stuff is cheaper than the Hydro Slick and does an amazing job! The metal flakes really shine through now and it now has that wet appearance that everybody likes. I seriously doubt that a $1,500 Ceramic coating from a detailing company could make it look any better. The car is 11 years old and when I drove by my neighbor he said "Did you buy a new car?".Just be sure to apply this with a buffer. The fact that I could see application marks could be a function of the ceramic nature of the coating and not anything in particular with the Chemical Guys' Hydro Slick (so those still might appear if you applied this Meguiar's by hand). Still, the wet appearance and the appearance of the metal flakes just wasn't there with the Hydro Slick like it is with this Meguiar's. I rarely leave reviews but decided to this time because of the great results.

Applied easy with a small RO wax applicator machine, similar to conventional wax. Hazed and wiped away easily with a standard microfiber polishing cloth. Surface finish gloss and slickness seems comparable to a quality conventional wax; not remarkably better or worse. Where it might have the edge on conventional wax is there is no white powder everywhere after removal, and no white smears on plastic/rubber. Of course the tradeoff is slightly premium price. Only time will tell how long it lasts. All things considered, though, it's a solid 4*.

Always used and trusted Meguiar's for over 30 years. Used it on show cars. Never disappointed. Was looking at their car wax to find the prices shot up. Thought I'd try the ceramic. The good and bad. The good news is after 6 months of sitting outside water still beads and car shines like the day I applied it. Ceramic is easy to apply. Make sure it is out of the sun or a good cloudy day. Apply one panel at a time. Fender, door, half the hood or roof. There i a timing required between application and wipe off. Apply to the fender. Wait about 1 minute and check to make sure you didn't miss any spots. Apply to the door. Go back and wipe off the fender. Easy as that. Always use clean rags. I started out by trying a tack rag to remove dust but saw tack rags leave a bit of residue behind. Switched to just a clean rag for final dusting. I bought the car used and suspect there is already a ceramic coating in it locking in fine scratches. I tried the buffer with the fine black pad on the trunk. Polish was getting spattered everywhere. Switched to had rub and remove with a cloth. Wish I had the old number 7 Seal and Reseal. Used that on my black Challenger for car shows and I know that fills in the smallest scratches. I went with No 3 by hand. I watched videos with clay bars and stuff. All you need to do is remove all the dust withing seconds of applying the ceramic. A clean rag will do that. No dust in my ceramic but still have the super fine scratches. Problem with new cars is there is 1 coat of clear. I know because I went through it in 1 spot trying to take out a scratch by hand. What a pain. Used to custom paint cars. Used 4 coats off clear. 1 coat to wet sand and buff. Never went through the other 3 coats after years of hand cleaning and a 2nd and 3rd buffing. Meguiar's wax is better for filling in those minor scratches but you do not want to apply ceramic over wax. It defeats the purpose.

Goes on easy and removes easily. Looks great and holds up about 6 months. Satisfied with this wax.
