You are one busy man. I don't know how you find the time to do your job, work on your Vettes and make videos for us. I watched Jimbo do a comparison of this liquid vs Megs Hybrid spray. The hybrid spray won. It would be interesting to see you use your new testing protocol on Megs liquid vs Megs spray and see which is better. I think your new testing process is spot on.
Man your presentation and the description of the product and what it does is 2nd to none. Not to mention the real world torture tested vehicle paint will go through. Please keep these videos going Brian, they are Beyond valuable to us.
Love the extra wash tests! It performed about as well as I expected. I don't see many reasons to use this over the quick and easy spray form.. All the quick gloved👍's made the wash test thoroughly funny and enjoyable to watch.. please keep it in the testing process. 😁 Thanks, Brian! 👍👌✌
@@jacktran960 honestly I haven't been using these all that much since the first couple bottles. But yeah, the liquid wax does have a nice application. Do you find the durability is as good as the spray? I thought the hydrophobics seemed to drop off a bit faster than the dry application of the spray wax, which seems to give the best results.
I am a believer in Meguiar's products, especially since they started the consumer detailing product industry that all others chased for so long. However, I'm certainly not married to any particular one Meg's product, as others in the industry have certainly not only caught, but in many products and applications have surpassed Meguiar's. That being said, based on your review, I'll most likely have this product in my arsenal, but certainly not as my "go to" wax. Brian, as always, I truly appreciate your time and information on Meg's Hybrid ceramic wax. Jimmy Chauvin (The Mobile Detailing Perfectionist)
love the real world testing process you have. No other detail channel that I have come across even thinks about how many washes a product can withstand. Excellent job as always
I like the new real world testing with 10 washes and then your mixture of road chemicals. A lot of us are really into the appearance of the product in addition to its durability. I enjoyed your comments about darkening and enriching the color of the paint and would encourage you to include more subjective appearance comments as you test these different products. I find it difficult to judge the appearance of the product when watching the videos. Your product testing is the best on RUclips!
So I just picked up this product 2 days ago. Tonight i clean and prepped 2 small panels on my work beater car to test it out before I put in onto my 2 new cars. I'm very excited to see how it does.
I just wanted to say, Thank you, Brian. Your channel is awesome and an inspiration. love your no-BS reviews and the Apex detailing community you have built. I can't tell you how valuable your guides were when I started to get serious about detailing, and your interior cleaning videos in particular really helped me step up my game.
Solid little topper when i feel like applying a "wax" on my Nasiol Zr53 coating on my vehicle. I apply a very thin application, and it lasts a solid 3 weeks. I normally top it with Nasiol Rapid Shine in my conditions in South Africa 🇿🇦
As usual, 100% quality video. I have greatly enjoyed the hybrid ceramic line and look forward to Meguiars sio2 wash and wax this January. Already preordered it!
Best Detailing channel out there. It would be interesting to get lab analysis done on contamination samples taken directly from the road. Then we could put together a mixture of chemicals for durability testing that would be as close to real life as it gets. Btw - anyone have a lab they can lend for testing? :)
Absolutely love your real world tests. That makes so much sense over the other channels I watch that use these chemicals that aren’t out in the streets. Thank you for doing that and I love your channel. I am somewhat disappointed in the product. If it had lasted a few rounds of the torcher test I would give it a green light. But for the effort might as well go with the spray. That says a lot from me because I enjoy a good ol’ fashioned wax on/wax off session! Thanks for the video!
I think it would add more for the podium deal if done in price ranges. I think I watched a video of a Meguiar's rep claiming you can top that with the ceramic spray wax. I am probably wrong but I also believe the rep said the liquid wax can be the base layer, so all you would need to do is spray wax on and rinse off. With the price being 20 dollars, which is about what Ultimate liquid wax runs or the paste version. I wonder how the gloss compares from one to the other.
Hello brian, To me it is a solid process you came up with. I appreciat the chemicals mix you used that the paint would encounter on the road. Thank you.
Barry, I was thinking not as a base but as a topper coat. I have been impressed with the Turtle Wax Ice products Brian tested previously on his videos.
I'm liking the new methodology. I think it would be great if you could post this data to your website in an aggregated format with links to the videos. It could be just a simple Excel spreadsheet shared in OneDrive.
Brian, my man! you certainly go above and beyond. I personally would be totally happy with 10 strip washes and if passed, your IPA 25% WIPE DOWNS to determine durability. Cheers!
I would like to see this test ran with meguiars ultimate liquid wax as a base. Then apply a layer of the ceramic wax as a top coat and see how it withholds.
I found the mags spray ceramic hybrid wax gave Very good protection just lacked extra high gloss. Cant have everything? But i like it for salty winter ❄️ months !!
The worst I’ve tried was chemical guys jet seal, lasted maybe two weeks in the rain, seems to work for me the best is Colinites 845, for me I’ll get three months of great protection on my car I drive every day for work and I don’t have a garage. Now on my parents vehicles where they are garaged and both parents are retired I’ve gotten over a year plus out of 845, heck i’ve gotten a year plus with rain X on my dad’s windshield, course that includes Claybar and in doing the right decontamination steps. What’s crazy to me is all the different products on the market right now Sio2 is a hot word in this market I have a close friend telling me the graphite is coming down the road?
Yeah jetseal is terrible! I've had 4 bottles of it and just gave it away. It's a pain to apply and wipe off. Fuck all that. I like ceramic spray by turtle wax.
Lee Francis that I am not sure what I’m doing wrong? I do the normal decontamination Claybar and then if I polish all use a dedicated polishing spray remover, heck even after Claiborne I use like a Gyeon prep and it’s still just didn’t last for me😩
I like your testing and I will use this as a topper only. Thanks B... now warm up again and enjoy the rest of your day. I can’t figure out how you get everything you do.. done every day. #RELENTLESS
Brian, how do you think this compares to Jescar power lock plus? I just got some Jescar recently but havent had a chance to apply it, been cold here in NY
Another great testing video and great information about the product....I've used meguiars shine as you dry quik wax i found to be a better product protection and durability and shine in my opinion ive use meguiars alot but i also like alot turtle wax seal and shine
Brian it's nice to see the torture test again. I had the old ceramic spray wax. Looks pretty similar. It is easier. But I still think Turtle Seal and shine is a lot better. I can't wait to get the Cermic products! I think it's a whole lot better! Thanks again Brian always the best advice!
Brian, another great video. You have overwhelmed me on products. They are all starting to look great but I would love to see you do a real life teat and leave the panels in the elementals. I am sure space is probably a precious commodity but it would be awesome to have a perspective of longevity. Thanks again for all the great videos and application insights. 👍
I have tried to use the ceramic hybrid wax and it was awful. I clay'd bar my car, cleaned with soap and water and rinsed and dried. I then applied a layer of your hybrid ceramic wax, buffed it off with a microfiber towel and then wet the car and sprayed on the wax, rinsed it with water and dried with microfiber. There are streaks everywhere, large spots, looks like crap. Worst product I have ever used, I buff and buff and it does not ever stop streaking. Car is not old. How do I get the streaking to stop?
I see potential for this as a really good topper. Stand alone seems to not really stand apart from others too much. The gloss jump you saw was impressive but expected that block to slide right off the panel. Willing to give it a try for the price.
I used this and I had a lot of trouble. I thought it was extremely difficult to buff off. I followed the instructions to the letter and found if you let it set for 3 to 5 minutes it was like the old school paste wax and required a lot of elbow grease. I really want it to work, so after watching your video, I'm going to try it again. I may have used too much and I didn't realize there is a set up time.
I liked the water sheeting after the product was gone better, no water beads left on the paint surface when held horizontal. It kept the beads sticking while the door was vertical, thats not what we want right??
Hi, that's great review of the product, thank you a lot. I already bought it and my question is if two layers of it(with 30 minutes interval in between) make a big difference in terms of glossy finish and hidrophobicity. Thank you again
This was a great follow up! Thanks! Say do you have a "Start here" series if I am just getting into doing this with my new truck? I have no idea where to start or what order to put things or what products you recommend? Thanks for any advice! Take care
Thanks brian Good video. I do have this on the shelf and use it on some vehicles, but I did pitch the turtle wax ceramic polish. Find it difficult to remove
Sonax is by far the most long lasting protection I have used. It also beads and sheets water away very well, I have not come across anything close to it.
Very cool to wash it 10 times. I do think a good portion of deteriorating a product is done via the drying part of a wash due to abrasion so maybe you'd have to wash and dry it 10 times. Way too much work to ask of you.
Could you try the cheapest paste or liquid wax on a test panel to compare it's cost per longevity. To see if a product that costs $20+ lasts any longer that the cheapest short lived product.
I used to have a bottle of the product called mer..sold at trade shows, I can tell you , after two rain showers it was gone, that wasn't even all that cheap, after many years of using a very cheap supermarket wax that I'd maybe get a month of protection, Seal shine is 4 months and strong beading and so much less work than old-fashioned wax
When using this Meguiars product, Did you use a Foam application with buffer or Microfiber pad with buffer? or By hand? And, did you apply one coat or 2 after 1-2 days allowed to cure ( although curing time isnt mentioned) ? And is the foam pad used to wax /polish paint that needs more correction vs the Microfiber?
Hey Brian when using Turtle Wax hybrid solutions wet wax are you using your Sucker drying towel? I'm worried about ruining the towel if ceramic gets on it from the wet wax
A lot of sealants make plastics look good - hw does this compare to say armorall shield sealant which brings plastics back to black? ITs my winter go-to.
I almost use Meguiars synthetic Xpress for everything! I would love to see a comparison of Meguiars synthetic Xpress in this product Head to Head that would be a fascinating video!
Maybe not possible to do on every protection product testing. But if you would have an old product from the brand that the new product you are testing. It would be very interesting to see how it the old vs new product stands up to each other. Are we getting better products now or do we actually just gets about the same performance from them. In this case Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax vs the Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax would have been very interesting to see side by side in the testing. Also generally speaking it would be very great to have another product that has gone through the testing that you do with a kind of performance from it in the mid range of products. So we and you have a benchmarking product to compare it to. Don't need to be the best but something that's not the worst either. So we see easier if it's on the lower end of the performance or if it's in the upper segments of the products you are testing. Much easier than going back and forth with comparing videos on our own. Like the new wash testing a lot. Keep an eye on how many washes all of the products you testing is doing and maybe adjust to the average value of the washes. To be doing when you doing your testing. And maybe even have different amount of washes you do. A sealant should maybe stand up to 10 washes but a spray wax/QD only should be 3 washes or something like that. Or even go by how long the claimed longevity from it is and how many washes you doing in your testing. A claimed longevity of 6-8 weeks maybe should only get 5-7 washes before the chemical testing or maybe even less like 3-4 washes before the chemical testing. Hard to get a testing that suits products with a claimed longevity from a month up to a year. And getting how good they are in the claims they have. And just don't do testing to getting them to fail as soon as possible which we see on some other YT channels. You give them a chance to let them show at least some performance from them. I mean that if we know a product gives you the 2-3 months in the real world use. Then it's reviewed and when they do the chemical torture testing it's almost gone after the first round. That kind of testing don't give you or us any useable information about the product. You at least tries to find ways that gives you a good information about the products you are testing and keep that up Brian! Awesome video!
How is the ceramic supposed to cure to the paint surface if its being applied with a wax? I thought you were supposed to remove all wax before applying a ceramic coat. Would the wax part of the "hybrid ceramic wax" not just contaminate the surface whilst applying the product, thus no ceramic would cure to the paint surface?
Was that test with only one coat? I know Mother's cmx seems to work better (last longer) with multiple coats, I wonder if this is similar with better performance on multiple coats.
As always, great video! I've asked this in other product testing, so hopefully I get a response on this one. If you have a client that comes in for paint correction and has this product, or any similar to this, applied on a regular basis, what are you doing or using to remove any level of paint protection?
I've seen the road the dirtiest when it first rains but surely all chemicals, oil, etc.... isn't all on the road that he uses , not to say their not ALL present sometimes, (well where I live in GA anyways). I can't say that about other places like where it rains all the time which should wash off of it rains alot. Then you have places that's more poor than others, which then in more poorer places people tend to not take care of their cars which in return tends to leak more oil because they can't afford to repair it. OK then factor places where it snows a lot and they put salt on the road and some states don't even see snow and salt. The point I'm trying to make and this guy is showing you (good job btw) is when he does his test he's throwing all the chemicals oil, etc.... at all these products, no product is going to get less or more chemicals, oil, etc...... ITS A TEST!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR RESULTS!!!!
I see your there in a hoody in from the cold. I am wondering at what temp. range you keep your gararge at; what's the coldest should I have my garage be at for detailing my cars exterior? You seem to dress 'warmly' in your videos!
Can anyone recommend anything for a shuffleboard. I don’t really want to buy the standard powder, silicone spray and polish the dealer sells. I was going rob start with a good polish and wax, then maybe one of the liquid sprays? Just thought I would get a fellow detailer’s opinion. The surface is water based polyurethane. I can’t imagine the “shuffleboard” polish wax and silicone spray are anything special. The powder I can see I guess
I just applied McGuiars Liquid Ceramic Wax to my car. I found it's not too difficult and quite forgiving. As I was buffing, I noticed a small area where I tried removing bird poop awhile ago that left some small scratches (I should've been more careful at the time). Question...Can I use a little rubbing compound to blend out the scratches, then go back over with the ceramic wax to polish and buff it out so that it looks like it never existed?
Hi! Im from Panamá 🇵🇦... I use chemical guys citrus wash to wah my car.. It claim to remove trafic film... is there any way i can boost a shampo in order for me to use it to remove waxes sealant and trafic film... We have here in Panama... Brands like Meguiars, Adams, Sonax, Chemical Guys, Super Clean, Geon, Opti Coat.. or let me know how i can boost a shampo like adding an All porpuse Cleaner or a Degreaser.
What do you think of this one....Does it stand above the other numerous ceramic waxes?
I have found my product in the Tac System
Try the groits garage 3 in 1 ceramic wax 20 bucks at autozone its a beast tfs buddy

I find it easier to overuse the spray version and streaks start to appear on the car. The liquid version is much harder to overuse in my opinion.

You will get mor gloss with the ultimate for sure, but this is more durable.
I think I will use the spray of hybrid ceramic wax instead, it will last about the same and the ease of use plus the price.
How you know it will last about the same? The product has not even been out long enough to determine that.
I bought the bottle for 15 dollars at Walmart the spray is also 15 dollars
Some video test shows same effects and durability.
Hello brian, To me it is a solid process you came up with. I appreciat the chemicals mix you used that the paint would encounter on the road. Thank you.
Looks like a quality product. I can see myself using it as a base layer then using a couple of sprays of the HCW to maintain the protection
Barry, I was thinking not as a base but as a topper coat. I have been impressed with the Turtle Wax Ice products Brian tested previously on his videos.
Ron Dail maybe use P&S BeadMaker as a topper
Ron Dail It appears the Turtle product dims the gloss.
Would love see ethos pro ceramic vs this
Many thanks for the INFO, I am going to try it today on my new M5 Comp arrived this week.
Cold Northeast for sure...lol I'm pulling off my hoodie as I start your video!. As always great presentation Brian.

you and your testing should be an industry standard
I would like to see this test ran with meguiars ultimate liquid wax as a base. Then apply a layer of the ceramic wax as a top coat and see how it withholds.
Thanks Brian. Videos always clear, concise and informative.
The gloss seems impressive, combined with M799 as a drying aid and you'll greatly extend the durability.
I’m hoping their Pro line comes out soon. Will be trying the M27 sealant and the bead booster
It would be nice if put your "road soup mix" up against a high end 9h type coating so we could get a baseline.
I found the mags spray ceramic hybrid wax gave Very good protection just lacked extra high gloss. Cant have everything? But i like it for salty winter ❄️ months !!

Greymark what product?
@@sphirit i think hes talking about netshield..
@@sphirit Its called Sonax Xtreme Brilliant Shine Detailer.
Yeah.. I would try it..
in the spring..
after all the brine washes off the road😁
I used it the water bead is awesome
Great test results I will try TW products in spring before considering this. TW may have been first.
Wash tests are perfect real world addition loving it!
Very cool to wash it 10 times. I do think a good portion of deteriorating a product is done via the drying part of a wash due to abrasion so maybe you'd have to wash and dry it 10 times. Way too much work to ask of you.
Could you try the cheapest paste or liquid wax on a test panel to compare it's cost per longevity. To see if a product that costs $20+ lasts any longer that the cheapest short lived product.
I used to have a bottle of the product called mer..sold at trade shows, I can tell you , after two rain showers it was gone, that wasn't even all that cheap, after many years of using a very cheap supermarket wax that I'd maybe get a month of protection, Seal shine is 4 months and strong beading and so much less work than old-fashioned wax
When using this Meguiars product, Did you use a Foam application with buffer or Microfiber pad with buffer? or By hand? And, did you apply one coat or 2 after 1-2 days allowed to cure ( although curing time isnt mentioned) ? And is the foam pad used to wax /polish paint that needs more correction vs the Microfiber?
Hey Brian when using Turtle Wax hybrid solutions wet wax are you using your Sucker drying towel? I'm worried about ruining the towel if ceramic gets on it from the wet wax
Thank you Brian
A lot of sealants make plastics look good - hw does this compare to say armorall shield sealant which brings plastics back to black? ITs my winter go-to.
I almost use Meguiars synthetic Xpress for everything! I would love to see a comparison of Meguiars synthetic Xpress in this product Head to Head that would be a fascinating video!
I use express wax aswell. After 2 washes with vehicle and boat wash it's gone. But it's one of my fav wax as you dry products!!
is it just me or does this stuff go on invisible? Like you can barely see it after applied..
Awesome job - thanks
thank you sir
Great video buddy
Maybe not possible to do on every protection product testing. But if you would have an old product from the brand that the new product you are testing. It would be very interesting to see how it the old vs new product stands up to each other. Are we getting better products now or do we actually just gets about the same performance from them. In this case Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax vs the Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax would have been very interesting to see side by side in the testing.
Also generally speaking it would be very great to have another product that has gone through the testing that you do with a kind of performance from it in the mid range of products. So we and you have a benchmarking product to compare it to. Don't need to be the best but something that's not the worst either. So we see easier if it's on the lower end of the performance or if it's in the upper segments of the products you are testing. Much easier than going back and forth with comparing videos on our own.
Like the new wash testing a lot. Keep an eye on how many washes all of the products you testing is doing and maybe adjust to the average value of the washes. To be doing when you doing your testing. And maybe even have different amount of washes you do. A sealant should maybe stand up to 10 washes but a spray wax/QD only should be 3 washes or something like that. Or even go by how long the claimed longevity from it is and how many washes you doing in your testing. A claimed longevity of 6-8 weeks maybe should only get 5-7 washes before the chemical testing or maybe even less like 3-4 washes before the chemical testing. Hard to get a testing that suits products with a claimed longevity from a month up to a year. And getting how good they are in the claims they have. And just don't do testing to getting them to fail as soon as possible which we see on some other YT channels. You give them a chance to let them show at least some performance from them. I mean that if we know a product gives you the 2-3 months in the real world use. Then it's reviewed and when they do the chemical torture testing it's almost gone after the first round. That kind of testing don't give you or us any useable information about the product. You at least tries to find ways that gives you a good information about the products you are testing and keep that up Brian!
Awesome video!
which is the best car wax? how much months does it lasts??
previously used meguiars ultimate paste wax... is it hybrid liquid ceramic wax better??
Could you do a review on the problem/effects and solutions for this issue for us detailers on flittering water
I got 3 weeks. It was doing good untill it rained. I washed the car the day after the rain and it was sheeting slowly. At that point, its dead to me
Thanks Brian as always for being persistent.
Honestly, I believe the Turtle Wax Ice products seem as good or maybe better.
How is the ceramic supposed to cure to the paint surface if its being applied with a wax? I thought you were supposed to remove all wax before applying a ceramic coat. Would the wax part of the "hybrid ceramic wax" not just contaminate the surface whilst applying the product, thus no ceramic would cure to the paint surface?
Even tho it is in the wax category...it is more lige polymers and Sio2. I agree...it is an odd category.
Can I use this product on every surface or is it going to dry white on my black textured surfaces
Thank you
Was that test with only one coat? I know Mother's cmx seems to work better (last longer) with multiple coats, I wonder if this is similar with better performance on multiple coats.
As always, great video! I've asked this in other product testing, so hopefully I get a response on this one. If you have a client that comes in for paint correction and has this product, or any similar to this, applied on a regular basis, what are you doing or using to remove any level of paint protection?
TAC Paint Cleanser...stay tuned for video.
I'd love to see some evidence that these "chemicals from the roadway" are actually on the roadway.
when you see rainbows in the road, its oils. You see oil in parking spots and that gets on the road.
I've seen the road the dirtiest when it first rains but surely all chemicals, oil, etc.... isn't all on the road that he uses , not to say their not ALL present sometimes, (well where I live in GA anyways). I can't say that about other places like where it rains all the time which should wash off of it rains alot. Then you have places that's more poor than others, which then in more poorer places people tend to not take care of their cars which in return tends to leak more oil because they can't afford to repair it. OK then factor places where it snows a lot and they put salt on the road and some states don't even see snow and salt.
The point I'm trying to make and this guy is showing you (good job btw) is when he does his test he's throwing all the chemicals oil, etc.... at all these products, no product is going to get less or more chemicals, oil, etc...... ITS A TEST!!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR RESULTS!!!!
They are not exact. He’s using a mock up to simulate the chemicals that are on the roadway. Which there are plenty.
I see your there in a hoody in from the cold. I am wondering at what temp. range you keep your gararge at; what's the coldest should I have my garage be at for detailing my cars exterior? You seem to dress 'warmly' in your videos!
Boost mobile since 2007 ftw!
Can anyone recommend anything for a shuffleboard. I don’t really want to buy the standard powder, silicone spray and polish the dealer sells. I was going rob start with a good polish and wax, then maybe one of the liquid sprays? Just thought I would get a fellow detailer’s opinion. The surface is water based polyurethane. I can’t imagine the “shuffleboard” polish wax and silicone spray are anything special. The powder I can see I guess
I just applied McGuiars Liquid Ceramic Wax to my car. I found it's not too difficult and quite forgiving. As I was buffing, I noticed a small area where I tried removing bird poop awhile ago that left some small scratches (I should've been more careful at the time). Question...Can I use a little rubbing compound to blend out the scratches, then go back over with the ceramic wax to polish and buff it out so that it looks like it never existed?
Yes for sure
So test being done and all that what does that mean in in weeks or months as far as how long it'll last on your vehicle?...
Hi you think this is better than chemical guys hydroslick or not
I love the realistic torture tests! According to this, does this mean it could essentially only last through a couple of rains?
It lasted ten washes easy. How many washes do you get in a month. That would be a way to make an estimate.
Great video
Hi! Im from Panamá 🇵🇦... I use chemical guys citrus wash to wah my car.. It claim to remove trafic film... is there any way i can boost a shampo in order for me to use it to remove waxes sealant and trafic film... We have here in Panama... Brands like Meguiars, Adams, Sonax, Chemical Guys, Super Clean, Geon, Opti Coat.. or let me know how i can boost a shampo like adding an All porpuse Cleaner or a Degreaser.
Could I apply this with a rotary Polisher and low speed maybe around 600rpm?
Pit this against turtle wax seal n shine since that's the current champ.
brian, how do you have a video every day!? have you ever missed a day??
Henry Freeman Hank’s Detailing - I believe there was no video posted on Christmas.
There are a few. I could do 3 a day with all the info I would like to share.
