You sold me. I have always been a fan of the cheaper Cleaner Wax, but have never seen it compared to a much more expensive brand. Way to GO!!!!!
I didn't know Cleveland Brown had a RUclips channel and was in to cars. Awesome.
Weak😂😂😂
😂
I've never seen anybody use that slide test and doubt I will due to possible paint damage. I kinda cringed but I think it's great to see!
Ive tried various $35 plus polish/waxes. $7 Meguiars Cleaner/Wax is still my preferred wax. The stuff is hard to beat
The Meguiars Deep Crystal Carnuba is just a dollar or so more. It's also an excellent wax. Leaves a beautiful shine on my white car.
Fascinating video and comparison. Thanks for taking the time to do this. This should save folks a lot of $$$ and time and research.
Thanks for the feedback!
Great comprehensive video, I have a 2008 Volvo C70 , it's in great condition mechanically and paint wise, I've used the Meguiars products forever but I've been tempted to try some of the new ceramic and poly based products but your video really convinced me to stick with the old adage "If it ain't broke...don't fix it ". It'll take some more proven videos for me to try some of the newer products...again...great video!
Thank you!
I have a 2011 C70
Nothing can beat Meguires cleaner/wax on a classic car .. NOTHING
They say with the hydro slick to leave it for 24 hours for even greater results ? Maybe post a video 24 hours later after a full cure 🤔
I think those are 2 very different products - one is carnuba, one is ceramic - also, cleaner wax has a mild cutting agent in it iirc, meaning its supposed to polish the clearcoat as well, which is unnecessary unless it is damaged - just my thoughts - glad to see some new content!
Thanks for the comment. Yes wildly different products and price points. Feels like the Cleaner Wax has been around 100 years lol but pretty effective. Which would you buy? Have you dabbled with any of the ceramic coatings or waxes yet?
Auto Dreams I used to have a red fox body mustang with a subpar clear coat and McGuire’s cleaner wax was just the ticket to help rid the paint of the haziness that was starting to accumulate
There weren’t ceramic coatings back then (let’s just say I’m not a kid anymore lol)
I don’t drive anything these days that warrants a ceramic treatment, so it’s just high quality carnuba for my oldish truck
Like I posted above, I'm mostly hoping for more protection from the elements with Hyperwax. I've never used a wax that gives me a shine like pure carnauba. Not even close. The problem is that in the summer, it cooks off on the hood in no time. All that's left behind are deep mineral rings that I have to compound out.
Tried all sorts over the years....I always go back to caranuba as my black car is simply darker and better reflection with that. Needs waxed every quarter but so easy it takes 30 mins in right conditions.
Great review, appreciate it as I am getting into keeping my car detailed. One big difference is the “slickness” test, the cleaner wax is a combination of wax and cleaner and containers petro solvents and polish which will clean the surface and make it smoother. I think you need to do more surface prep for the chemical guy product, first some polish then a cleaner to remove all polish and wax on the surface prior to application. Personally I’m sticking to the cleaner wax several times per year. Thanks again for the review!
Been using Meguiars cleaner wax for years with great results. My current process is clay bar then cleaner wax, then the gold paste wax which does protect through more washes. But after this ceramic movement (and now graphene is on the scene), I'm thinking of using a ceramic spray instead of the Gold paste wax AFTER the cleaner wax.
Yea you dont want to COAT over WAX. Just clay or polish n prep wipe then coat. Good stuff!
McGuire's Carnuba wax is awesome. Protects, has brilliant showroom shine and it's hard to get dirty. All you gotta do is pressure wash and you str8.
You sound just like Cleveland Brown! Thanks for the video
He does! It's awesome!
Cleaner wax and then top it with ultimate quick detailer or turtle wax seal and shine. It's all anyone needs!
Thanks for sharing brother! Great comparison video.. I am hydro coating my truck can wait to see what it does!
The only downside to the cleaner wax is the white residue it leaves behind. Gotta be super careful around plastic trims.
Yeah getting wax out of tight places is a hassle.
After Washing the Car 🚗. You clay bar. The car to get the paint as smooth as glass . Wax or sealer. . You are right about the downside to the cleaner wax people like price of the cleaner wax
You're right about that. I had to use a strong cleaner and a brush to get it off.
My wife won’t let me buy a $39 wax. She’ll say “We could’ve had sushi for dinner.”
And who can say no to sushi?
Besides, for $39 you can get 4 bottles of TW Seal n shine. And that stuff is awesome!
Excellent information thank you
Hydro slick compared to cleaner wax over elements, hydro slick is just all out better, if you use an Ipa solution it will strip the cleaner wax, hydro slick stays on
I'm hoping it helps with the elements. It was worth a shot. it's expensive, but a little goes a long way. I know I would have gone through a lot more wax than I did hydro slick.
Great video. I appreciate your time, and effort.
Those aren't bubbles, they're water beads.
I love the practical tests
An insane wet look shine to it from Maguire's cleaner wax.
I watched this because I regularly use Meguiar's Cleaner wax, but just finished up using the Hyperwax. There's no appreciable difference in shine. I'm just hoping that the ceramic gives me longer protection from the elements. Water is very hard here, and minerals burn into paint and crust on glass very quickly.
That first application would have done that whole half of the hood
Your right. he use to much wax
You used a buffer with the Meguires...that could have lifted tiny paint imperfections, contamination etc to make it smoother.
I don't see any Mother's products in your collection. No opinion, just wondering. The difficulty of removing the Hydro Slick reminds me of Blue Coral paste that you had to get off soon but it did last longer.
at 14mins you got light water overspray on the hydro slick side when you washed down the Mequiar's side which is prolly why you're seeing more little bubbles -- to be fair lol
I bearly saw the difference. Wow! That cleaner wax not only cleans the car as it waxes but the shine.......wow! Both are great.....but I did saw a quick silliness from Maguire's cleaner wax.
Used the Chemical Guys HydroSlick on a Mercedes-Benz GLE, also in Obsidian Black. I must have spent 5 hours going round the whole vehicle removing the product. It crippled me.
Man I just ordered some cleaner wax and all I’ve seen is good reviews! The stuff is cheap and holds up against the top dollar stuff.
Good job bro
The Maguire's cleaner wax......it really does look a wet shine look to it. I thought it would be like it says ...HYDRO Slick;!!!!!!! Water falls off quick. Water is still on Chem Guys but Maguire's you can see water falls off a lot super quick, looks a lot cleaner and that wet shine look.
thanks good video - I will go with the meguiar's on a regular basis and maybe drop a few hundred bucks on a professional paint correction every 3 years
Paint correction works wonders!
@@autodreams114 What is paint corrections?
Hello mr. Auto dreams สวัสดีครับ 🇺🇸🇹🇭
I have a single stage painted 1986 Flaxen yellow Volvo 240DL wagon, every month I’ll get my rotary out on low and with my cleaner wax I’ll give it a good buff, the chemical guys is for rich people and it’s a waste of money, if you’re gonna by chemical guys booty slick or whatever it’s called, just by nu finish. It’s cheap and lasts very long.
This is the first video that I watched. It's great. ❤
Thanks 🙏🏽
does Meguiars remove water and acid marks?
I have a 2011 Sonata it had a good factory paint job, but it has been in the sun for 12 years and we get really hot here in the summer, I do not think I have waxed it, there is some sun damage but not like most cars that have garage paint jobs, any recommendations? Thanks I have sub'd
Meguires gives a better look to the surface color
He use the cheap s. Wax on the market. There better waxes that leve a better shine
Thanks, can this Meguires be used once a month ? It did magic in removing dried glue
I dont see why not. Because it's gone after a few washes anyway.
Yes.
You see that glow or that sun behind you shining in the back see that dome flat Earth baby by the way good video thanks 👍
Meguiars FTW!!!!!
Would the protection be better if you applied it 2x ?
Hello mr. Autodreams
(🙏🙏สวัสดีครับคุณดาเรล🇹🇭🇺🇲)
Your Hyundai car or What model is it? Look beautiful After the experiment, will you use it with NSX?❤️❤️
Thanks! I also put the Hydroslick on the NSX.
@@autodreams114 beautiful, ❤️❤️👍👍
Thanks for the knowledge!
You're welcome!
I saw some Turtle Wax hard shell liquid wax on your shelf. Between the Turtle Wax and the Meguiars cleaner wax which do you prefer?
Undecided lol
Can't go wrong with meguiars
McGuire's Cleaner Wax wins .. I've used many waxes ... chemical guys hydro slick...you're paying for the name. I think the cherry wax by chemical guys is way better. I use it the same way just like the cleaner wax... Same results. The only difference is the cleaner wax gives my car more shine. The cherry wax makes the red on my Camaro Pop more
The cleaner wax just don't last that long for me
I tried that slide with my golf shoes, yeah I do not recommend it.
Great video! Question; So my 25 year old “midnight blue” non-metallic paint on my classic Mercedes-Benz SL 320 shows some serious “spider webbing”, especially when in the afternoon sun. I’m not having it, no Sir! I have Meguiar’s cleaner wax, both liquid and paste. Which one would you recommend, and by hand or my orbital buffer? I’m thinking liquid with the orbital. Any thoughts? I also have Meguiar’s ultimate compound that I used last year, but feel it may be to aggressive at this point. The spider webbing is present, but not horrible. HELP!!!
Thanks
Try the cleaner wax with the orbital.
Do a test sopt with that, and if it doesn't work, try the Ultimate Compound with the orbital, then follow with the cleaner wax to remove any compounding haze, and protect the finish.
Cleaner wax isn’t going to permanently solve your micro swirling issue. Let the professionals take care of it. Since your vehicle is older, it’s a good idea to assess the paint with a depth measurer to determine how much clear you’re working with. From their, it’s just determining what pad & compound / polish combo works great for your particular vehicle. All those consumer grade products are for beginners. I’ve been doing this since 2003 as a business and can’t tell you many times I’ve had clients attempt to do things on their own involving removing scratches only to make it dramatically worse.
Sorry but this man kinda sounds like Cleveland 😂 great video hydroslick is priced to high
Ok I closed my eyes, and I swear I heard cleveland from Family guy...
To me the Meguiar's had a better shine.
The right side was better menguar
I always heard that amateur's should not use a buffer you can burn the paint, is that true? Thanks I sub'd.
It’s possible if you don’t know what you’re doing. Just let the dual orbital buffer do the work and keep it moving.
For the cleaner wax do I have to use the gun???
What gun??
@@autodreams114 I think he means the rotary polisher
Clay bar to remove the impurities from the elements. Meguiars Cleaner wax. Meguiars Gold Carnuba or Mothers Gold Carnuba is the best all around system, and most cost effective. The Chemical Guys isnt giving you anymore then a higher price tag. I will stay with the tried and proven methods from Meguiars or Mothers who have the big R&D dept money.
Gloss and shine are the same bud.
Agoojob
Cleaner wax is my go to wax.
For the price it's hard to beat!
People like ti for the price like ti. has everything in. One bottle
12:16+ "I really don't see a difference." Look at the tree. Right side the tree has dark green. Left side tree has light green and between the tree and the sky the picture also looks cloudy compared to the right side. Right side the hood has a cleaner appearance, left side cloudy appearance. Show room quality use Meguiars.
Guys that had some money who decided to open a car product company but didn't know what to name their company. "OK guys what do we call our company? How do I know with all these chemicals.. don't ask me... Hey guys, let's call our company Chemical Guys. What a stupid name is that? Hey, the world is filled with stupid people and Chemical Guys sounds legit."
Agoodjob
1] DIYer .got that part !
2] Towel looks beat up
3] missed ⅓ of the hood on machine and by hand
Cheap is always better than no protection at all
Get the cheaper
I agree in this case lol. 👌
Lol Their not the same product their two different chemicals for different things . Hydro Wax comes after the cleaner wax
Uh no
Watch polishing to much, you'll eat your clear coat away.
True.
