- Welcome to the Meguiar's RUclips Channel.
Patrick, our resident videographer and photographer has been with us 5 months now and has NO IDEA how to take care of his car.
Many people like Patrick can sometimes get lost in the sea of car care products. What do I wash my car with? How can I keep it clean after I've washed it? It's the simple things that we want to help and educate you on.
So, introducing "Detailing 101". A step by step guide on the basics of car care, featuring Patrick and his BMW E36. During this series you'll see us educate Patrick on the most simple ways to Wash, Clean & Prep, Polish, Protection and Maintain his car.
Our aim is to share with you the simplest forms of car care, whether you're a non car guy, a car enthusiast, or someone that just wants to further their knowledge about detailing or the Meguiar's product range.
After all that hard work removing the scratches and swirls, making your pain super glossy and reflective, it would be a real shame to see it go straight back to how it was before. Hence why we wax the car. In the past this stage of the detailing process has been the most resented. "Wax is so hard to take of" "Waxing takes too long"
Well, in this video we learn the best and most efficient way to wax your car and protect all that hard work done previously.

I just want to say how much i love this series. Having a beginner learning from a pro, asking questions and getting advice as they go is just great. Ive watched all these videos and have goten great tips even though ive detailed my own cars for 25 years...youre never too old to learn as ive never had to use a compound until a year or two ago when i first came across this series. Great work mates!
Guys I love the series! Just what I needed to learn it all 101. I have been doing most of it wrong all my life and now that I own a nice ride I know how to take care of it! Keep up the great work!
Please put sound through right ear on next episode, my left loved it, my right ear is jealous
I had only my right ear piece in and thought, how could they release a vid w no sound ? 😂
Dale is brilliant 👏
I love watching the enthusiasm towards his job. His clear explanation also gives me the idea he sees the effects of his work and method down to a micro level. Brilliant fella!
i am definitely not new to detailing, using Meguiars and lots of other stuff - but these series are amazing and hands down my go-to videos for my friends who's into car-caring. keep going, amazing content!
Cheers guys. Finished my first major detail thanks to these vids and great products.
Thumbs up from Germany! I learnt such a lot from this series in the past few weeks...I have been using Meguiar's products in the 90s and early 2000s and I have just begun to put some more time into care care and detailing again. I was quite confused by the many different products on the market but the Meguiar's UK videos and also the short tutorials by Meguiar's Germany brought back my confidence that I chose the right brand. Thanks so much!
Please don’t end the series please do an interior one
It's on its way!
@@meguiarsuk where it is coming from? Venus or Mars?
The ultimate paste wax, wow really fantastic gloss
I prefer to hand wax. I also have used the meguairs ultimate compound/wax combo and topped it with beadmaker. It was a great set up for a super slick and glossy finish.
Really enjoying these videos! Giving me so much more confidence to detail my own car! Thanks for the help guys!!
Awesome stuff!
my right ear wants to hear too
Pixel dont flip it to landscape or dont do a fullscreen. I just discovered it right now
I mean its the same thing but it is louder
Mine too, but ear infections took that way at about 4yrs old
This video serious is seriously good. been watching detailing vids all week, and I've learned so much from yours. Thank you!
A comparison test with the Mirror Bright Polishing Wax, Gold Class Carnauba Plus and NXT et al would be an interesting video. See what the differences are in terms of end results, water behaviour and durability.
Yes
Could u do videos on the pro stuff please..would like to see the difference...and keep up the great videos
Yeah it seems amateur ish
I could watch you guys do this for hours!
I clean my car every week, I also have a few cars I look after for others. I’ve still enjoyed watching the videos. I don’t have Meguiars stuff but I’d like to try a few so it was good to watch to see how they performed. Will be good to see more if you carry on with it.
You CAN apply a paste wax via machine,people have been doing so for decades.
How?
These video's have been invaluable. Ultimate Car Wax is really great but ive never buffed and polished before using it and didnt know there was a liquid. Im sold.
Meguiar's Gold Class
Great video. Mr. Miyagi couldn't have explained it better.
Mahalo!!!😁🤙🏼🤙🏼
Love the insight!! And it’s very motivating!! Going out to buy those products now!!
My left ear subbed this.
I've really enjoyed this series of videos - thank you!! I've done a fair amount of car-care over the years, and whilst, as stated, some of it will be known to those that aren't just starting out, I've still gained a good few tips (hash-tag polishing for example!) which are now part of my routine.... keep up the great work guys!!! :)
May I know the solution used in the final stage while wiping off the wax?
Can you change the sound really distorting
9:59 😂 “Don’t there’s no need”
This was the video I was waiting for ! U did not mention about quick spray waxes ! Also how much time does they both last !
Quik waxes are generally a top up of your previous wax. Usually lasting around 2 weeks.
I'm in a wheelchair and my frame is powder coated what's the best thing to use to bring back the shine? The colour is Purple/Pink
Ultimate Paste Wax
I've got a Ford Focus ST in stealth grey, which is factory colour & Soild paint. Which wax would you recommend and why. I like to apply by hand by the way.
Awesome video,i do my car by hand,something else ive learned from your channel and how to save polish.
New to detailing, great vid as well as the previous series from compound up. Earned a sub from the US
That finish is very good considering that beemer had more blemishes than Ron Jeremy’s ar5e before hand 👍🏻
Can I use the was paste on buffer machine instead on hand?
Absolutely! Just make sure you're using a soft/finishing pad designed for wax/sealant applications. Also, if you're using a DA polisher, you want to make sure it's on the lowest speed.
I really like your videos. They are very helpful, but what is the red pad did he use all the maroon pad that he use?
My liquid Turtle Wax went white when dried. Whole car looked like it has been plastered. Had a hard time wiping it all off, while pushing on tower really hard.
P.S. I did put a lot on.
Why is that chaps ?
Sounds like you put way too much on, if you put it on thick it won't cure properly and be an arse to take off. Don't worry we've all been there lol
My left ear enjoyed this
Best video ever from the USA. Thanks
Can you still get the NxT wax? I remember when that first came out. The campaign they had here in the states. I realized the other day I haven't seen it in stores for a long time now. I just use gold class paste.
Hey guys, i live in Germany and i have to say, that our German products are nothing in comparison to Meguairs products👌
And also i have to say that the ultimate paste wax is the best wax i ever used. Thank you for your produckts🤝
Have you tried Wolfgang products, I think they're German and are supposed to be pretty good, they have the price tag to suggest as much.
I’m always terrified there’s a pebble.
Hi Lads! Just bought a new Dodge Challenger in Hellraisin (purple) and was wondering which paste wax you'd recommend for the colour. Thanks - appreciate your insight!
Only just noticed the dent by the bmw badge
First time I've seen this video and I noticed it straight away!
Has anyone tried the ceramic wax on the soft foam pad on the da polisher?
What is the best Wax to protect the car from very high UV and dusty weather ?
The new Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax!
Meguiar's UK
Thx a lot
awesome
Out door pics?
Instead of using Ultimate wax could I use Hybrid Ceramic Wax instead? I have the Ultimate Compound and Polish.
what's is the diff between Meguiar's Mirror Bright Polishing Paste Wax Cream and Meguiar's G18211 Ultimate Paste Wax?
which give a deeper and highest clarity gloss.
The Ultimate paste wax is one of our flagship waxes. It gives the most gloss and great length of protection.
Which is the most premium car shampoo, the gold class or ultimate one?
the most advanced is Ultimate as it contains dispersed wax within the shampoo.
How do you get rid of mildew stains on white vehicle before waxing?
Brilliant
End of the line? What about nano protection or similar solutions for 1 - 3 years protection or even more?
Nice one guys. Subscribed. 😁
Noob Question. How often we need to wax our car per month?
You could wax it every day if you'd like. It all depends on you and how much you drive it and where.
so never done any of this before been told you cant wax anything plastic like bumpers etc is this true car in question is a bmw e46 330ci in black?
If they are painted bumpers then yes you can. If they are exposed plastic then I'd suggest the ultimate black
What’s best way to wash the finishing towels?
Washing machine no detergent.
Any specific preference for white pearl paint?
Great series of videos!
How long does ultimate wax last?
It depends on how much the car gets used. We see it lasting up to 12-14 weeks on a well looked after car.
@@meguiarsuk with respect - that's a total contradiction of terms. Think about what you wrote.
why did u apply a paste wax by hand then straight after use a liquid wax ?
lambbosbread I think just showing that it’s okay to use both. You don’t have to use both at a time.
So I opted to get the liquid ultimate wax, I noticed it has a hand applicator in the box. How much do I need to apply to the hand applicator to do the whole front end?
so on an average sized car we suggest a pound coin size will do half a bonnet.
Thanks for the videos, I do enjoy these and "The Day in the Bay" stuff.
I do have a question, why don't you panel wipe after polishing?
Surely the wax won't bond to the polishing oils?
Hu um5reedp
If I apply a spray wax over a paste wax will it make it any more protected or am I just wasting product?
Spray wax should not be applied to a waxed vehicle on the same day. However, if a week has gone by and maybe it rained or weather conditions were not favorable, a spray wax can be added after a wash to MAINTAIN the protection of the wax.
Great video guys, some great tips and tricks! I would say that having the guy with beard in the video whilst he's just constantly on his phone is a bit of a let down though - he just seems disinterested and it detracts from the advice you're giving - just sayin' But keep up the good work!
If you’ve waxed with gold class carnuba can you finish with the ceramic wax instead of the ultimate Detailer ?
Absolutely! As the car would already be waxed you would simply spray on and rinse off.
Do you have to leave the next gen 2.0 paste wax to cure.??? Could you do a vid on that wax please?
How long did it take you to do from start to finish? From wheels to wax?
I have watched the 101 series through to this point and don’t think I have missed the point I am asking about. I have a brand new VW and want to keep it looking good as long as I can. Obviously it came out of the dealers looking nice and shiny but it has only had the basic treatment, by which I mean a wash and polish. I doubt they waxed it and it was definitely not ceramic coated. So my question is, should I do the compound stage to strip off whatever they used or should I just go straight in with polish and wax stages?
Seeing how this comment was left a year ago, at this stage it would be good to use a light compound, followed by a polish, and finally a wax to add a layer of protection. Having worked in the make ready department at a dealership, I can promise with high percentage the dealership did not do a polish and wax. Make ready procedures involve a basic wash and removal of all sticker protectants.
Why does sand build up right after I wax (i live in a desert)
Are you dumb
@@kiwizlucks4947 no u
Hi there is there a difference in the meguiars pro 15 an the mt 320 professional i cen afford the pro 15 only

audio is coming out of the left ear only for most parts
Apologies we had an audio issue during the edit.
Why not ceramic? What is the difference between wax and ceramic?
The ceramic wax needs to be applied to a wet car. As we were in the bay having compounded and polished the car we went for the conventional wax approach. Detailing 101 on Hybrid Ceramic Wax is out next week!
Is wax applied via a dual action once it’s been compounded?
Would it be best to apply the Fast Finish paint sealant first, then the Ultimate Liquid Wax?
And where does the new Hybrid Ceramic Wax fit into the overall process? Maintenance purposes? Or is this the ultimate Ultimate sealant/wax application?
Great vids by the way! Love watching these.
I'm curious as well
Love your videos on detailing for beginners, how do I get a hold of Dale regarding the right products for my car?
It really wasn't weird of him to confirm that the pad came with the wax. Anyone that hasn't used your products before would not have know that.
What was weird, was your reaction towards him.
Just a question when waxing is it always necessary to clay bar just unsure if give it a really good was then apply wax ??
That really depends on the type of protection you're looking for. Ideally, if you're going to clay bar your vehicle, you would want to follow it up with a compound/polish and then wax the vehicle. If your paint is in great condition and little to no settlement build up exist, it is not necessary to clay bar before applying wax.
What wax is best for metallic silver? The ultimate paste or carnauba gold class etc? Cheers
Ultimate paste wax would be best! Because it's fully synthetic it brings out the metallic flake in the paint.
You used ultimate Quick detailer after you finished can you also use Ultimate Quick Wax ? Its just to clean right and the more wax the more protection right ?
You can use the Ultimate Quick wax, but it's designed as a maintainer. The layer of protection it will provide on a freshly waxed surface is minimal.
I didn't know Eddie Hall worked at Meguiar's
Would this still look decent on a red car? Im thinking after a glaze to give it the depth, then a synthetic wax for the shine and durability?
We would suggest using the Gold Class wax for a red car. It would give it a real depth of gloss.
@@meguiarsuk Awesome thanks guys! I'll pick up some gold class! How do you recomend getting wax off plastic trim btw? Didnt notice when the car was clean, but a few weeks later it's becoem visible! Ive heard a pencil eraser works, then ill follow up with ultimate black!
@@bambamty All of our products are plastic safe so you wont have any issue removing them. If you find previous hardened stains then we'd suggest Heavy Duty Multi-Purpose Cleaner sprayed directly onto a Microfibre Towel and gently wipe the plastics. Then Use the Ultimate Black.
@@meguiarsuk Thanks guys! IVe tested the ultimate black on a small patch and it looks SIICK, but the weather at weekend was too awful for a proper car clean! Yeah the wax is a different brand, carranuba creme! My own fault for getting it on the black! Ill get some of the heavy duty today! Thanks guys, much appreciated!
@@meguiarsuk Picked myself some gold class wax up today! Think it'll look great on the red paint after some glaze! I'll keep hold of the tin of ultimate i have, as i reckon the durability will be beneficial in the winter months!
Can the waterless wax be used for just a wax aswell? I know dumb question
It is best to use the waterless wax after you already have a good protection coat. It is designed to be used as a maintainer in between wax applications.
After you’ve waxed it then the next time you wash it do you still need to use the usual products you use as I use the ceramic wax spray?
After you have applied a good base layer of protection, spray wax's are great to maintain protection and prolong the life and need to apply another coating of protection.
Could you also use the ceramic spray after the wax for extra protection or would that be overkill?
You could however it would just mean rinsing the car off after getting it clean.
What we use if the colour is White????
The sounds gets horrible when i flip it to landscape.
Suggest a spray that can be used after wax for mild cleaning, maintenance of shine and gloss and should protect the wax too.
Headphones on. Talking in my left ear. Music in my right ear. Too irritating to watch through..
Great video! I have a question though. I bought the Meguiars NXT wax and I want to know what to do with the provided applicator pad after applying the wax. Do I have to clean it or wash it before I use it after some weeks?
Patrick looks like Claire balding from channel 4 horse racing 😁
Hi, is possible to buff a paste wax with a dual action polisher? Some waxes are an absolute nightmare one they've hazed. Cheers
A duel action polisher isn't designed to remove wax, all of the Meguiar's paste waxes with a thin coat applied to the surface should be easy to remove with a microfibre towel. The main benefit for having a DA Polisher is defect removal.
@@meguiarsuk DUAL Action - you're not doing pistols at dawn, are you?!! 🤦♂ The PO even wrote it correctly in his comment.
Only thing about the Ultimate Wax i don’t like is it dries to clear. I can’t tell where i waxed. 🥺 but it applies easy dries fast and if alittle gets on plastic parts and trims doesn’t leave. Haze finish to it
What time need let to cure the paste wax?
do you have to use a ipa after compounding when applying a wax or sealant
You don't have to no. You can go from wiping off the compound with a microfibre towel straight into polishing or waxing.
The dent in the bonnet is really annoying. Decent choice of car though!
Here I am trying to wax my rust ole truck 😂 I'ma fool is all
Every time I buffed European makes, they would have swirl marks. Even after using an orbital polisher.
Live in an apartment, do u guys have bays for hire where a noob like me can detail ?
We only have the one bay but you can apply to come if you email dmasterman@meguiars.com with pictures of your car and a list of the show and shine events you go to and enter.
is Ultimate a "cleaner wax"?
What about 3 in 1 wax?
