I am a chemist. Well done, you got it pretty much right. The product does not contain SiO2, but neither do "ceramic" coatings. All of these products contain a silica-oxygen-carbon polymer that is non-hazardous and therefore doesn't appear on the SDS. I suspect that the base compound is a polysiloxane. The active compound adheres to the paint or clear-coat. The second and subsequent applications adhere better and better as a hydrophobic surface is built up. "Ceramic" is a bit of a misnomer created by marketing departments. Real ceramic structures are made by firing in a kiln. I predict (you heard it here first) that you'll soon find "titanium hybrid waxes" or "ceramic titanium" as the next big thing. TiO2 is a good absorber of UV light. Nano particles of TiO2 can be incorporated into siloxanes. But it still won't be a titanium ceramic. By the way, I do use this product. It makes the paint on my blue car look like a deep pool, and gives excellent beading.
Thanks for the info and I am glad to hear that you liked the content! I would be very curious but I could see hearing about a ceramic titanium in the future and that is some good and interesting info you gave on that! Thanks for sharing! 🐝
I was skeptical at first about this product, but after using it for the first time, I am truly impressed, it’s really simple to use and it beads water off really well, worth the investment!
Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it! Also thanks for your honesty on your results with this product. I know its almost to good to be true that it is inexpensive and super easy to use and gives great results but it truly does do all of it. It's crazy the hydrophobic properties that it provides. Glad to hear that you had good results with ot and like the product!
Lol I have had a few comments that people think that's how I am pronouncing it. To me it doesn't sound like that hahaha but it must depend on whare you live. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video Bee! These products are simple to use, cheap and incredibly effective and that threatens a lot of people for a lot of different reasons. From my experience, this and its cousin, 303 touchless sealant, are game changers. As a pure lark I put the 303 version on my wife's traverse after just washing it (no prep at all) and 30 days later I am still blown away by the shine, slickness and how clean it is staying. The rear-ends of Chevy Traverses get filthy just going around the block and yet, hers is now staying remarkably clean. Nothing seems to stick to the paint not even bird droppings which largely try to run off. Cleaning it has been a total breeze. After not touching it for a while, I was able to do a quick waterless wash on it and only needed 1 microfiber towel folded in 4s and when I was done 15 minutes later it looked like it was just waxed.
Thanks buddy! That is 100% correct it does threaten a lot of people and then they just want to bash it. I have heard a lot about the 303 and I am thinking I need to try it as well. These products are indeed complete game changers and the world of car products is making huge leaps and bounds in great products! That's awesome to hear about the 303 and how well its working for you and the back end of the Traverses and alike vehicles are always dirty when the rest of the car is not bad. That's great to hear that it made it that easy to clean up and left it looking like a freshly detailed car! Thanks for all of your support buddy is greatly appreciated and thanks for letting me know your experience and results with the 303!
It is a great product and I also love the way it works and the result you get. Haha that's awesome you don't want to run out! I am going to have to pick another one up also. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it!
Great Review...I tried this on my Z06 and was very impressed...but that car had very high reflectivity to begin with...What really sold me was when I used it on my 2001 4Runner that lives outside..That finish really popped...and even looked better the next day...incredible beading !
Thanks buddy! That's awesome to hear your results on both of your vehicles! I bet your Z06 is like my Challenger and is taken excellent care of but my pickup is like your 4Runner and lives out side all the time. I noticed the same thing the next day it really made it POP! The beading is what really blew my mind for how easy it is to use! Thanks for letting me know your results with this product I love hearing how everyone likes it. Thanks for watching, commenting, and your support it is very much apricated! Please leave a thumbs up on the video if you haven't it will help the video get out there for everyone to see.
I use this stuff myself and I LOVE IT!!! NOTE: I found that after you've done the first coat and dried the car, go back and re-wet the car, spray another coat on, let it sit for about 45-60 seconds then come back and spray with a strong stream of water. You'll find that the beading increases. Then, just dry the car again and the shine is incredible. My neighbors saw me use this and now they are hooked on using it as well. The water beads on my car so well, the last time it rained, there were lots of little beads of water on my car. I was heading out of town after the rain stopped and I got on the interstate, the wind from driving 60-70 mph actually dried my car. There was no water, no streaks, no water marks, nothing! I just ordered a stockpile of this stuff online and will continue to use it as long as Meguiar makes it!
Mark Binder That’s awesome to hear! It really is amazing stuff and is so easy to work with and not to mention you just can’t beat the price! Thanks for the tips and I am going to have to try that! When people actually give this product a chance they fall in love with it. That’s funny about your neighbors and it’s cool you got them hooked on it as well! Thanks for all of your support it’s greatly appreciated!
I've used ONLY Meguiars products for years and recently picked up the Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax and found it to be just as good as their other products. Its a great company and their products perform far superior to others on the Market!
Thanks for sharing your experience with Meguiars. They are a great company that make some really great products and you can't go wrong with using them. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I've taken tons of safety classes in my years in construction. What he's saying about the safety concerns with regard to silica are spot on. Silica will dry out plastics and rubber so keep it on the paint and no where else.
Dried silica powder (e.g. concrete) can dry things out, but not in this form. True ceramic coatings chemically cure and bind to the paint. They create a solid barrier. Nothing comes in, and nothing comes out (in a perfect world). That's its whole purpose. It can't possibly dry something out. There are many different forms and uses for silica. Meguires also markets it as safe on all vehicle exterior surfaces. My only concern is that it may smear on glass overtime, from the wipers

You’ve convinced me. The good thing is that you can use it over other polishes and waxes if you wish and it will only enhance the effect and longevity. Good to know how little you used to achieve a great finish. Good vid, Cheers!
@@MeanBee392 used the Meguires Wetlook polish and the the Meguires Ceramic wax on our new black Tesla Y! Sensational finish. Really happy with the product👍
Hey, People and car lovers. Quit bad mouthing Megiuar' s Ceramic Hybird wax. Read the damn directions. I have texted here on RUclips how to make it work for your car. I tested it 1.5 months ago! I use it in my detailing business. You are using it wrong! Don't put out bad info on this product. It works. Stop using it wrong. If you need to find out more about how to use it ask me and I will tell you or I will make a RUclips VIDEO. Then show you how. Just because you can't read a label or directions don't blame the product. I don't get paid by Meguiars for my detailing work! I know how to make it work like it should. So please quit lying about Meguiars Ceramic Hybird wax. I have it on both my own cars and it really works. It shines and last a long time. Both my cars sit out and are over 16 years old. When it rains it still sheets off. If your car gets dusty just hose it off and dry it off. That simple! Shawn
I have used it, it works great, but I didn’t do the best application, I’m looking forward to my next application now that I’ve seen how to properly apply it & I have the proper towels.
💯% agree with what you said @ the start of your video👍 Some people over analyze what's in this product. As long as it does what it says it's gonna do & the Pri¢e i$ Right💰 then you will be happy & buy more the next time you need some. Great review Bee🐝
I just want to be 100% truthful and honest with everyone. Yes they do! Exactly and that's what I look for in a product but we have people who feel threatened by a product so they are just going to bash it and never give it a chance just so they can to try to hinder the sales of it. But I will say this stuff had blown me away and it's a really great product! Thanks for your support it is appreciated!
Man, THANK YOU for being so down to earth, realistic and logical. Yeah, pretty sure most of us have no clue what's in anything we use, but if it works well, and the price fits, so what? Awesome vid, sir!
Thank you buddy I appreciate the kind words! Got to keep it real and down to earth. That right and that's what matters is if the product actually works as claimed and at the right price and meets your expectations. Thanks again for your support buddy I appreciate it!
Just did my 1987 Porsche 944 in Guards red. I had clay bared the original paint, a light compound, and swirl removal. I followed the instructions exactly and it worked as advertised and the shine and water sheeting is amazing.
Gr8 video, I've been using this ceramic wax on my f56 cooper s and I completely agree. It's by far the best product I've ever used for the money .i left my car without washing for nearly 8 weeks after applying it and the water beading was still awesome. Can't recommend it enough 👏🏻🔥🔥
Thanks bud! I am glad to hear that you are also getting great results out of it and like it! It does hold up great and like you said just can't say enough good things about it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
After watching a video a few months back I started using this product on my 2014 Silverado and it is easy to use and it works amazing. The surface is super slippery smooth and the water beads up ridiculously good. I do the spray reapply method every couple car washes or so for maintaining the finish and I have no complaints whatsoever. I use it on the whole truck exterior....metal, glass, and plastic. I highly recommend it.
Thanks for sharing your experience with this product and glad to hear that you are liking it and it is working good for you! It is a great product and I do also really like it and it is just so easy to use and offers great protection! That's the key wit it is to reapply it ever few washes and it will keep everything protected and lasting long. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I apply HCW dry, one light spray per panel, and a spray on a MF and wipe in, then wipe off just like any other spray wax. It's performance is boosted like crazy, and I barely use 30-50ml of product per car. Also the gloss levels and slickness are greatly increased when applied dry. Crazy if you follow Meg's instructions, they want you to use half a bottle every time haha
They do want you to use a lot of product but I guess its ok because it is so cheap. That is very interesting and thanks for sharing that info! I will have to try your method out. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🐝
Thank you for putting this video together Mean Bee - it looks like the experience I've had also. I'm a newbie (two months since I even heard of "ceramic coats" or "sealants" or anything like it) and Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Spray was the first protectant type product I bought. It took me a few tries to figure this out (and left some streaks along the way - I'm lucky I have multiple old low-value cars to test on), but I find it works best, and uses way less product, if I fully dry the panel, then hit it with a damp towel to slightly moisten the surface before I spray. With that method, a panel like the hood of that truck would take one squirt per quarter (so four total). Looks great, I just did my first touch up (I figure every two months) the same way and I'm hoping that will protect my paint going forward. Again, I'm a rookie, but after a few fails, that seems to work best for me. Your opening point was spot on.
Thanks for sharing your experience using this product. Nothing wrong being new to the detailing world and trust me I am still learning as well. Sound like this product is working great for you and you have figured out a way and method of applying it that works really well and uses less product and that's awesome to hear. Doing maintenance washes and touch ups every few months will be key and will also help the products protection level lasting a long time. Thanks for watching and commenting buddy!
I used to use it also and do still own a bottle, but I found TW Ice Seal n Shine both lasted longer and was easier to apply ultimately. Both are fine though. I still get a wild hair to apply it now and then just because I have it.
So the most overlooked question is... Average wax life 2 to 3 months, they say this is good much longer. How has it held up over time? Any personal experiences??
That is a good question. I found it to last around the 2.5 month mark but was starting to diminish pretty quick and would need to be reapplied to keep the protection going.
I know this is an old comment but thought I'd chime in since I've been using this product for about 2 years now. The product duration varies a lot depending on the conditions outside and whether or not the car is kept inside a garage or stays parked outside most of the time. If you live in a place that snows and your vehicle often encounters a lot of road salts then do NOT expect this product to last that long with a single application (I would say about 1 month with a greatly diminished performance from the first application). However, if you live somewhere where it is mostly sunny year-round and hardly snows if at all, you can see it last anywhere from 2.5 to 3 months with a single application. The purpose of this product as I've come to learn is to maintain it by reapplying it at least once every month, whether it be the method described on the bottle for reapplication or by applying it as if it is the initial base coat. I've personally apply it like a base coat each time and after a while of doing so I've noticed that it is almost builds "layers" of itself on the surface of your paint. It tends to perform better the more you use it over time. I get lazy so I usually only wash my car once a month and reapply during that time and have had excellent results, would highly recommend.
Good points. Meguiar's never claims the product is a "coating", so no one should take issue with it. It sounds like competitors may be defensive. Companies often do not patent products - to avoid the need to disclose proprietary technology.
Thanks buddy! That is very true they have not and its crazy the way people have acted over it. To me it is a great inexpensive product that is easy to get a hold of and is so user friendly so what more can a person ask for. That's correct so why would they put a patent on it. They are smart for not doing that IMO. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it!
That is correct if you use to much it just becomes hard to work with and gets very streaky. A little bit of this product does go a long ways and I found that out about half way through doing my pickup. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I honestly do it your way every time.. spray it directly on the vehicle and I spread it in a crosshatch pattern.. I let it sit for a min or 2 then buff off with a dry Micro.. I do this a day before I go anywhere cause it makes me feel better to let it set(or cure) and it does a fantastic job.. we had a hell of a good rain storm last week got out of work and people thought it just rained around my car.. My car was dry by the time we got out... but I also applied Nano Bond Diamond Nano ceramic coating with a 9H Hardness 2 weeks before.. which is absolutely awesome.... thanks for the video and the review
Thanks for sharing your experience using this product! I personally think that is the best way of applying it and letting it have that day to cure is a very smart thing to do to let the SiO2 property's cure. I also think you using this on top of your ceramic coating is a great idea to help keep that protective layer healthy and refreshed using this as a topper. I have never used that ceramic coating but it sound like it gave you great results and blew everyone's minds at your work lol. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🐝
@@MeanBee392 yes sir.. It sure did.. I tell you it's has been great makes the car easy to clean and is always shiny.. I mean the car is so slick anything you put on it slides right off.. then you top it off with Maguire ceramic wax hybrid.. O MAN.. Its the truth... to me Nano Bond ceramic top coat and Maguire hybrid ceramic wax is the best 1 2 punch for protection.. I can only imagine what that would look like on a fresh brand new or Newer vehical paint job.. My paint is a little weathered an wore.. Its a 2008 and has over 182000 Mi on it.. but with the right ACDelco touch up paint and clear coat clay bar polishing sealants an the Ceramic coatings it came out out the most beautiful crystal red I could get without needing crazy amount of money i dont have to have it professionally redone
That is so awesome to hear that you got and amazing finish out of your car! I haven't used their ceramic wax but I have been thinking I need to try it! Thanks again for sharing your experience using these products and sharing how they have worked for you! I really enjoy sharing and chatting about detailing products with my MeanBee392 family. 🐝
I like the product. It’s just a bit grabby when when spreading it. Also buffing it off I found I had to go over a bit to really knock it down. So far I like it and really want to see what type of effect the rain is going to have on it. Never thought I would say this, but, I can’t wait for the rain😂
It does have a bit of a grab to it but once my microfiber got wet that seamed to go away. I had a few spots that was like that when I was buffing it off but I was thinking I might of went to heavy in those spots. Hahaha I know what you are talking about with the rain and I want it to rain now but unfortunately we are supposed to be getting snow tonight. With the way it beaded the water I think the rain is going to fly off. Thanks you for watching and commenting its greatly appreciated! If you haven't already please like the video it will help the video and hopefully pop it up for more people to see. Thanks for your support!
@@Freko1970 Normally if you are getting that much haze its probably because the product is being applied to heavy. Not saying you are doing it wrong but that has just been my personal experience with it. It does a good job holding up and I have more videos of it on my channel if you would like to watch them. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@MeanBee392 found out what the problem was...i washed my car, dried off the water and applied it dry. Got confused because ive never used microfiber towels to dry, always used a chamois. Now, the was went on straight and I had a hell of a time wiping the haze off. It came out beautifully though, Im tempted to rinse out any accumulated excess off it and apply a second coat. Nothing has stuck to it though...even dried bugs come off with a slight nudge of a fingernail.b
@@Freko1970 Ok that makes sense and I bet doing it dry like that did make it quit hard to get off. You could of rinsed it all down again then just dried like normal and that might of helped cut down on the haze as well. I would definitely do a second layer just to help extend the life and give that extra gloss. It's a great product and the self cleaning power is crazy. Thanks for replying back and being honest I appreciate your support on the channel!
Nice one Bee! It's nice to know I'm not the only one who has to take test to know the chemical properties of the products I used for work. Keep up the video reviews I'll see you on the flip side buddy.
Thanks HOOF! They can be very long and some times boring but they do provide a lot of good information! Sounds great and hopefully see you in the live stream! Take care bud and thanks for the support!
Yep Hoof. Not the only one. They used to be called MSDS but since we are trying to catch up to the rest of the world, the placards are changing, the symbols are changing and and the name has changed. But the SDS info is a lot easier to find the call info, what to do in an emergency and so on. Used to take forever to find some of that stuff with the MSDS
That's nice that it works and all but I also am a firm believer of holding companies liable for what they advertise and sell. You give people a little room to lie and they'll take off with it. I really do hope the bottle contains an adequate amount of ceramic properties as it states. With that being said thanks for the video and contributing to researching of products.
I do believe that it does contain what they say regardless of what other peoples "options" are on it. Is it just a ceramic coating... no but do I believe that it has ceramic and wax properties in it... yes. Thanks you and I hope you enjoyed the video!
I think people are being really mean about this stuff because everyone knows u can’t get a ceramic coating from a spray but this def does help and it says what it does
I like this review because its telling the truth. Its a cheap product that uses ceramic properties and seems to do exactly what you would expect at this price point. Everyone gets butt hurt because apparently you can only use the word "ceramic" if your paying a shop $500 to apply a ceramic coating. If you buy this product.... You know exactly what to expect.
Thanks! Exactly and what's not to love about a product like this with an awesome price point. You are correct they think its not a true or even a ceramic because you didn't pay some one ridiculous amounts of money to have someone do it. Thanks for your support it is appreciated! Pleas leave a thumbs up on the video if you haven't already and pleas consider subscribing to the channel.
@@MeanBee392 sorry for the late reply...Unfortunately yes...but in Hawaii, we're used to the stupid prices :( !!!! I heard one company "only" charges $800.
I have been using this product for 2 years now........It works very well and lasts when you do this: 1- shake it very well 2-dont over spray it. 3- don't let it sit on the vehicle for more than 45 seconds before rinsing off 4- use a strong flat spray to rinse it off........It works well on glass and wheels too. Only down side is you use extra water compared to other waxes/sealants. I use this after every wash ( usually twice a month ) . That way it never wears off.
Thanks for sharing your results and experience using this product! It does work and perform very well if used properly and I do agree about the water consumption with just spraying it on and rinsing it off that's why I personally never use it like that. Thanks for watching and commenting!
GREAT video brother. I loved the whole thing. I loved the beginning middle and end. Back to the questions I asked. With a new car would using this product regularly suffice or would you recommend starting with a different type of product. I am impressed with the product.
Thanks brother! I am glad that you loved the whole video! Thanks for all of your support it is much appreciated! Personally I would recommend using this product regularly and it will offer tons of protection and I wouldn't go with a different product simply for the cost and ease of use. I have been blown away by this product!
Tried this product today $13.97 at Wal-Mart. I used less than a half a bottle on two cars that sit outside all the time. I am 58 years old. I want to wash and wax two cars in under 2 hrs. This product let's me do that. Today is 5-20-19. I applied the Highbird wax with a microfiber sponge. Spraying it on the sponge. Washed car! Rinsed soap off. While the car was still wet. Sprayed the sponge with the wax. Applied it both ways on each panel over the whole car. Then hit each panel with large amounts of water. Then put a second coat of Hybird wax again. Then more water. Then dried the whole car with micro fiber cloth. My 2005 Taurus never looked so Good. It shined like never before. Parked it out front an then did my second car. The same way! 1 hr 45 minutes. Tops. The second car was white. It brighted the white up. The car has factory chrome rims. I applied the wax on them without spraying the brake rotors. They shined up real nice. Now, I need to see how long the beading and shine last. Really like the how fast it took to do both cars. I use to apply Nu Finish with a orbitor machine. Don't want to do that any more. Even though it lasted a year. Shawn
Great job! Man you cant go wrong for all major maguiars product. Engineering amazing maguiars is worlds best for car details paint sealant, wax, car wash, compound etchetera. Highly recommended maguiars. Thank you keep safe...
Thanks I appreciate it! That's very true they are a great company that has a great reputation and has been around for a long time. Thank you and thanks for watching and commenting! Take care!
To get more use out of the bottle, meguiars channel said you only need about 3 to 4 sprays for the hood. I followed how they said to use it and it worked great. Doesn’t seem like it would be enough product but surprisingly less product still goes a long way
OMGoodness !! Loved your commentary and vour demo. You explained everything I needed to know in simple terms and to the point. I needed your step by step demo to help me. Thank you .. thank you for your in-depth demo.
This stuff actually works it's worth the money for 15 bucks I put it on my truck and I've tried others you will not get that super high gloss shine out of it though
Howard Griffith Sounds like you have had good results with it also. It’s definitely a great deal for the product and how well it preforms is awesome! I would say it’s not a glossy as my ceramic coated car but personally it has a lot more gloss than a wax. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks bud I really appreciate it! That's right at the end of the day find that product that suits your needs and liking. This product for the price and how it performs is unbelievable and I really like it! Thanks for your support, watching and commenting it is very appreciated! If you haven't and and you liked the video please give it a thumbs up and if you like the content please consider subscribing to the channel.
I've been using the Meguiar's product for several months now on both my girlfriend's new Dodge Charger and my new Dodge Challenger and I love the way it protects the paint on both cars. The water beading is outstanding and I love the fact that I can drive down the road at speed after a rainstorm and the car cleans itself of water. It's very easy to apply and the protection is great. Awesome product.
Congratulations to you and your girlfriend on the new Charger and Challenger! That's how my wife and I are also she has the Charger and I have the Challenger. They do make some really great product that are easy to find at local stores and are very user friendly. Glad to hear that you are also having great results with Meguiar's. Thanks for letting me know your experiences with the products and glad you like them. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it!
controversy??? i haven't seen any. another middle of the road Ceramic product. there are many more which are more expensive. best kept secret -- Turtle Wax Ice.
Their was a lot when the product first came out. I would agree it is a middle of the road product but it's great for people who are not big into detailing but want a nice clean car with some protection. I keep hearing about Turtle Wax Ice and I think I need to pick some up and try it out. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Looking really good bud. I almost bought some of this yesterday. People get all upset because it is not one of the expensive coatings from the big name makes. It is from a consumer grade company being sold in just about every place that sells detail products. And since it is soo easy to apply almost anyone can do it. There goes the big business of coating people's cars...LOL I have not done a coating on mine for several reasons. I like the process of doing it, and the norm of ceramic coatings it has to be kept inside and no water can get on it for set amount of hours. I have no where to keep mine away from the extremes...…….
Thanks buddy! Thanks for checking this out and all of your support! That is very true it might hurt big name company's and the coast of a ceramic coating but it is really nice that it is available almost everywhere and super easy to use! I understand because when I did my ceramic coating on the Challenger it took quite awhile and you have to have everything right and not expose it to water for 24 hours. Kind of a pain but when it was done it is amazing but with this you can apply a product very easily and have a lot of protection and no cure time. This product is very cool and I would recommend it to anyone! You should pick up a bottle and try it out heck even make a review on it.
@@MeanBee392 That is one reason I did not do the ceramic. The cost and the 24 hour cure time. Plus, I have not seen the overall results if there can be any harm in ceramic coatings as paint is supposed to breathe. And that you have to constantly use the ceramic boosts to keep the coating going. If it is a true coating , why do you need to keep re-applying it. I know this stuff is still technically a wax with ceramic in it. And once you put the base layer, you just spry on and rinse off after each wash. But now costs are coming down and who knows. Maybe I will try them. I am still on the fence about getting this though. not because of bad reviews. But I just like the traditional stuff.
You are totally correct and have very good points that I understand 100%! I also like just a traditional wax and that's all I will ever use on my Chevelle just because it's therapy for me doing it hat way.
You can apply it on your hood that is wrapped. It might make it a bit glossier but it will help the hydrophobic's and protecting your wrap from UV rays.
I tried this a couple months ago on a 2015 Lincoln MKC, silver in color. It works great. I followed the recommendations on the bottle. I got 4 washes out of the bottle. It beads like nothing I've ever seen. Slick and stays cleaner longer. Washes easier too. Love bugs here in Florida didn't stick as they did before the applications.
Thanks for sharing and that is awesome to hear that you had a great experience using it as well! It is a really good product that is SO easy to use. I have never had to deal with love bugs lucky but I have heard and seen picture on how bad they can be and make a car look. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🐝
You're welcome and thanks for the support! This is a great product all the way around. Sounds like you are also having great results and that's my plan it to keep using it to keep the protection levels up. How long have you been using it so far? Thanks for watching and commenting it is appreciated and please leave a thumbs up on the video and subscribe to the channel if you like the content.
Excellent review and yes you made perfect sense.. Your long term review is what I'm most interested in. I can't wait to see your follow up videos. My cars are not garaged so I'm really interested in the longevity. Thanks!
Thanks buddy! Yes I am also very curious in the longevity of this product and I will definitely be making videos on it! So please consider subscribing to the channel so you wont miss them. My pickup is my daily driver and is always out side to it will have a good true test. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it!
I use this on all four of our vehicles. Works great on all , but takes a little more rubbing on the darker colors. Both white colored vehicles are super shiny and slick. The darker colors look great also with a little more microfiber buffing. I really recommend this ceramic from Meguiars!!
Thanks for sharing your experience using this product and also glad to hear it works well for you and you like it! On the darker colors try a damp microfiber then followed up with a dry one and that should help and be less buffing. Hopefully that helps and thanks for watching and commenting!
My white Mustang never gets washed or wet, just wipe it down with Spray Wax after a drive to remove dust and bugs. I ran out of my usual Mother's Spray Wax & thought I'd try this, since there was no Mother's at the store. I simply applied to a microfiber cloth and rubbed it on, then buffed it off. Seems more like a thin liquid wax. Didn't notice any difference in surface or shine. No idea about beading ! 😁 I might use a damp applicator next time. I read elsewhere it streaks badly after rinsing and is a pain to buff out.
I would say to use a damp microfiber next time. But I never had a problem with it streaking after rinsing but that might depend on what type of water you have it it is hard water or not. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts and experience with it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@MeanBee392 On my truck, I did the hood and rear panel with a damp cloth and the rest per Meguiars. The Meguiars method definitely resulted in smaller beads and better shedding on the vertical panels than the cloth application. But both work well. My drying towel got very wet and I did get some noticeable dull swirls when it dried, which required some effort to remove with a truly dry towel. Have had same issue with NuFinish, so no biggy. Waiting to see durability now. The Hybrid Ceramic Wax seems to work very well. I went through several severe downpours followed by sunshine on the interstate and the truck still looks clean and shiny! It blow dried really well!
Glad to hear that over all you have had a good experience with it. I have heard about it leaving some residue behind and being kind of hard to remove but fortunately I never had that happen to me. It is extremely hydrophobic and the water just fly's off. Thanks for sharing!
It reminded me exactly of that and that way of doing it makes it super easy! Thanks for watching and commenting! Please hit that thumbs up if you liked this video.
That's awesome to hear that you tried it out and you are happy with it! It's a great product personally and well worth the money. Thanks for your feed back on your experience with it and thanks for watching and commenting!
Very nice video very descriptive I understood completely what you said as I to do a full background research on all the products that I use as I do this as a profession
Thanks for the complement! Its never a bad idea to research products and epically if you are doing it as a profession you want/need to know about the products 100% before using them. Thanks for your support!
12:32 You’re holding the applicator in the left hand and then spraying the wax on it Then you grab the applicator with your right hand, so that the product side or wet side of the applicator is in the palm of your right hand. So you’re using the dry non product side of the applicator to then spread the little amount you’ve previously sprayed on the hood -so effectively the better side is the one with less product??
That's exactly correct. I am doing real world testing to see how long it will last and that will be the real truth. I have one update video on it and will be having another here shortly. If you liked the video please consider subscribing to the channel. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I made a wrong move picking chemical guy’s hydroslick, i don’t like the way that it needs to apply, needs to be precise on waiting time before wiping off, too long, and i mean seconds, then the gel becomes hard to remove. I’ve used speedwax spray from other brand and it beads the water just the same. If the hydroslick comes off everytime i was, i dont want to spend 4 hours everytime.
Two things... you’re using WAY more on the product than you need to (I’ve done probably 6-8 cars now and have only used about 1/4 of a bottle). A tiny bit goes a long way, it can also be diluted significantly with similar results. And two, please pronounce “vehicle” correctly!!!!!!! Good video...
I am just using the product as many people would but after using it I did realize that I was using WAY more than I needed to. Thanks for your input and yes this bottle will do multiple vehicles and or multiple applications. Lol I am pronouncing it correctly but it is different sounding to people in different parts of the country. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@ Thanks buddy! I dont let anyone or what they say bother me. I am glad you enjoy the videos and it would be a boring place if everyone talked the same! Thanks for your support I appreciate it buddy!
Thats a huge bummer! Do you think you might of used to much? I know it is very easy to over apply this product and it will do what you have described. Thanks for watching and commenting!
i use the same product and honestly. theres a way better way to applicate it (takes longer tho) after wash you dry the car first, spray your pannel. use a moist fibercloth to applicate. buff off with a dry fibercloth. it looks and feels way smoother. i use meguiars for my car and turtle wax for the wife. i feel like turle wax ceramic wax gives a bit of a darker finish on your black paint
I have heard that applying it the way you mentioned does give better results. Both great brands and you can’t go wrong with either one. I have also found that Turtle Wax will deepen the paint color and I do really like that. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hahaha that's the best anology I have heard! I do agree with you 100%! Thanks for the awesome comment and watching the video! If you haven't please consider subscribing to the channel.
So I did a friends car today. It was a first application so there was lots of rubbing. It’s kinda sticky and took about 5 towels to complete. The results however were outstanding. She was very pleased, looks like I’ll get free food the rest of the year, thanks Mesquiar’s
It is an awesome product. I noticed when doing mine if I was using to much product it wanted to get that way on me also. Not saying you used to much it could be several different circumstance's water, temp, if it was humid and so on. Glad to hear that you also like this product! Hahaha that's a good thing we always like food and for the rest of the year that's a huge perk!
Thanks for the video. Nice truck, by-the-way. I see videos that state to buff the car to make the surface 'perfect' without swirls and marks before applying coatings. Did you do that first? Your truck looks really good to me, so I just want to know if you have done the buffing thing recently or if I could get by with just using the MHCW. My car looks pretty good, but at the right angle I can see some minor swirls. Keep the vids coming.
Thanks! I did not do any buffing before using this product. I think using a product like this if you have minor swirling that doesn't drive you crazy then it is fine to use it without buffing. If you are going to use a long term paint protection like a ceramic or graphene coating then I would absolutely recommend buffing and preparing the surface before applying. Hopefully that helps!
Great video! You are welcome and glad that you liked it. The product is holding up great for me 1 month later. Definitely more then just water in that bottle. Truck looks great and I look forward to update videos.
Thanks brother! I love this product and it's no joke! That's great to hear and I cant wait to see what my results for longevity will be with it. Hahaha YES way more than just water in that bottle! Man it turned out so nice and it really gave it a nice shine. Thanks for all of your support brother!
I actually applied it the same way as you did on the passenger side. I am in loooove with this product. I think it takes about 12 hours to get the true shine and slickness out of it. This was a great video thank you!
I think that's the bet way of applying it to save on product and working it into the paint better. I am just wanting to see if their will be a difference in the longevity between the two sides. This is an awesome product and I am in love with it as well! Thanks for watching and commenting it is appreciated and please leave a thumbs up on the video if you haven't.
@Dallas Williams You can also wet the car again and spray the product on the surface and rinse off and that will work to remove streaking from the product.
Thanks! That would of been a good idea and I am sorry for not showing it out in the natural light but it has been to long now to show that. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🐝
Looks good. I use it on my car and every time it rains it leaves NO water spots. The water beads right off especially while ur driving the water rolls up the windshield.
Hell of a video MeanBee. This video really sheds light on the controversy around this product. Thanks for demonstrating and now I feel comfortable trying out different stuff.
Thank you! That's what I was hoping for and to help people understand. I really don't under stand the controversy around this product other than people feel threatened by it. You're welcome and that is awesome that you feel more comfortable now and makes me feel good that my video was able to help you out! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I prefer the sheeting action of DPC Armor to the water beading of Meguair’s and other products since water beads means water spots when the water dries - particularly when washing in the hot sun or after a rain. Water beads are what people look for. But water sheeting means the paint also dries faster since it holds less water. You don’t have to worry about drying it ad quickly as possible before the water dries. I applied Meguair’s Hybrid Ceramic Wax on the windshield. But I wouldn’t recommend it since the windshield ends up cloudy instead of crystal clear. It will be interesting to see how long Meguair’s Hybrid lasts on your truck. Since Meguair’s Ultimate Fast Finish lasts just as long - per manufacturer - and gives you a far glossier shine, I don’t know why you would use Meguair’s Hybrid other than how much cheaper it is. Ultimate Fast Finish is also much faster to apply - reducing the drudgery of detailing your car.
I honor your opinion and we all look for certain things in products. I understand about water beading and water sheeting and causing water spots. I feel that this product has great at sheeting and I don't think that it will cause very many water spots because the surface retention is so low and they can run off easily. I have not had a problem with it on my windshield and it is still very crystal clear. I am interested to see how long it will last as well and if their will be a difference between either side with using different methods. The price on this product and ease of use is top notch personally. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks brother! Yes its very good and the price you just can not beat! Thank you I am glad you enjoyed it! Sounds great they will be coming in the near future! Thanks for your continued support!
Nice! To me personally it is a fantastic product that you just cant beat for the price! I am getting close to the two month mark and just my base coat looks like it is still holding up great (I will make another video on how its holding up). If you don't mind let me know what you think of it when you use it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Ohhh boy!! The megs!! Haha was waiting for this vid!! Man, idc what anyone says. That stuff works!! Great information in beginning as well. Between you and FAB yall are gonna make me buy some and do a review! 😄 great video Man!!!
LOL O NO NOT THE Megs!!!! That's awesome you have been waiting for this video! YES this stuff really does work and it priced very well and super easy to use! HAHAHA you really do need to pick some up and review it and this product is going to blow you away! Thanks and thanks for all of your support brother!
Lol I think you convinced me😁😁 hey man no problem.. I've got love for all my car detailing/enthusiast! You got an awesome channel. Keep up work. Keep an eye out for my video on this stuff! 😈😂
Firstly, don’t know why for the life of me I have only found out about your channel, glad I did. Secondly, it’s a great review. Especially on your white vehicle, which is hard and a challenge to make the paint pop, especially white and silver cars. Here in the U.K it’s 25% off at Halfords, which is a car parts store. Think I’ll definitely grab a bottle. Looking forward to your upcoming reviews. I see that it’s ok to apply it onto the side windows, but is it advisable to apply on the front windscreen, or rear with wipers? Would it cause the wipers to judder? Great review mate🍻😊
Thanks for the kind words! I am really glad that you like and enjoy the channel! Thanks again it is hard to get white and silver to pop but this product did definitely do that. Although it's harder to see the water beading on white at the end it really shows the shine that it gave it. Very nice 25% off is a good deal! I have been told that it is more expensive in the UK so hopefully that gets the price point whare it needs to be. I used it on my windshield and have been in quit a bit of snow and rain and haven't had any problems with my wipers skipping or jumping it more or less really acts like a glass sealant and I use my wipers less at road speeds. My biggest tip for someone using it the first time is to not go to heavy applying it because a little goes a long ways. If it is applied to heavy it can be a bit more challenging to buff off (maybe an extra towel) but it's nothing crazy hard to buff off. If you dont mind when you pick some up and use it let me know you thoughts and experiences with it. Thanks for your support from the UK that is very cool!
@@MeanBee392 will do! I've just got back and got a bottle. Was originally £20 got it for £15. I've just cleaned my car last weekend, and applied Ultimate Fast Finish, then a coat of ultimate paste wax. So the next time I do a maintenance wash, I'll use this as a top up.
Next time you apply you should try the method Adams suggest for guard and gloss. Spray panel with maybe 2-4 sprays depending on size take a damp towel go over then finish with a dry towel. Worked great for me and and uses a very small amount of product. To me in theory this is a water activated product so a damp towel should better help the bond and it will hold onto more product allowing it to be spread out more. Tried spray on spray off for my 2nd wash and noticed i had used a ton more product and was questioning how effective my application was. So think i will stick to base application in future already have to dry the car any how.
Thanks! I was also thinking the same thing after this video of applying it like the H2O Guard and Gloss. That is another product that I like and I think that would be the best way. I think the spray on rinse off seams like a waste of product and was also thinking Of just applying it every time I use it like the H2O G&G just to get a thicker more even application. Like you said you still have to dry the car so why not. Thanks for your positive comment and support it is greatly appreciated!
I have a black vette..it had swirl marks all over it..i took this product and applied it to a damp cloth and applied to to my dry car..i let it dry about 2 minutes and wiped it off... I was absolutely amazed how well this product worked..my car looks like glass..
Thanks for sharing your experience with the product! Did it help with the swirl marks? I have been asked about that but I never tried using it to help reduce swirl marks so I didn't know. It does work very well and glad to hear that you also had a positive experience using it as well! what year is your Vette? Thanks for watching and commenting!
I just used this product for the first time the other day. And since I already had a previous basecoat of carnauba wax on the truck, I simply used the spray on - rinse off method according to the bottle. The result was amazing!! Great product!
Thanks for sharing! That is a great way to maintain your base layer on your truck and it is super easy to do! Glad to hear that you also like this product. Happy detailing!
Ive only just come across this product. My car has a nice polish finish on it. Do i need to still do the foundation layer for first use or just the spray on rinse off method?
So, what if the water you rinse with is hard water and causes spotting? Usually, when I clean my truck I'll wash and soap it down, dry it then come back with another product which is wet and a microfiber towel to wipe off most of the hard spots. If I use this product the way Mcguires suggests I would have hard water spots with my newly sprayed/waxed car.
It works very well with hard water from keeping it from spotting but you will need to dry it off right away. The best thing to do with hard water is to use a drying aid like this product or another of your choice and get it dries as soon as possible. Hopefully that is helpful and thanks for watching and commenting! 🐝
If you wipe it on with a damp rag and let it flash like a normal wax it turns out so slick even better than the way they recommend, and your way need some water
Your welcome. Awesome it is a great product! Yes you can apply it to a new vehicle and on the glass and or wheels but I would not apply it to the tires. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I don't understand why they say to apply it to a wet vehicle. Why not dry panels? Also why rinse with water for subsequent applications after the base layer?
Because the water on the panel will help spread the product more evenly helping out the ease of application. I would also say same go's for rinsing it with water that way people who are not into detailing it will help them use this product with less effort. But you can apply it to a dry panel and you don't have to rinse with water.
I am a chemist. Well done, you got it pretty much right. The product does not contain SiO2, but neither do "ceramic" coatings. All of these products contain a silica-oxygen-carbon polymer that is non-hazardous and therefore doesn't appear on the SDS. I suspect that the base compound is a polysiloxane. The active compound adheres to the paint or clear-coat. The second and subsequent applications adhere better and better as a hydrophobic surface is built up. "Ceramic" is a bit of a misnomer created by marketing departments. Real ceramic structures are made by firing in a kiln. I predict (you heard it here first) that you'll soon find "titanium hybrid waxes" or "ceramic titanium" as the next big thing. TiO2 is a good absorber of UV light. Nano particles of TiO2 can be incorporated into siloxanes. But it still won't be a titanium ceramic.
By the way, I do use this product. It makes the paint on my blue car look like a deep pool, and gives excellent beading.
Thanks for the info and I am glad to hear that you liked the content! I would be very curious but I could see hearing about a ceramic titanium in the future and that is some good and interesting info you gave on that! Thanks for sharing! 🐝
Thank you so much.
Thank you for your professional clarification of this product's composition, for THAT was My Own Very Question !!
You’re pretty close, the new buzz word is “graphene”
Finally an actual expert with a real valid input
I’m majoring in engineering so mad love to the STEM field
I was skeptical at first about this product, but after using it for the first time, I am truly impressed, it’s really simple to use and it beads water off really well, worth the investment!
Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it! Also thanks for your honesty on your results with this product. I know its almost to good to be true that it is inexpensive and super easy to use and gives great results but it truly does do all of it. It's crazy the hydrophobic properties that it provides. Glad to hear that you had good results with ot and like the product!

Great video Bee! These products are simple to use, cheap and incredibly effective and that threatens a lot of people for a lot of different reasons. From my experience, this and its cousin, 303 touchless sealant, are game changers. As a pure lark I put the 303 version on my wife's traverse after just washing it (no prep at all) and 30 days later I am still blown away by the shine, slickness and how clean it is staying. The rear-ends of Chevy Traverses get filthy just going around the block and yet, hers is now staying remarkably clean. Nothing seems to stick to the paint not even bird droppings which largely try to run off. Cleaning it has been a total breeze. After not touching it for a while, I was able to do a quick waterless wash on it and only needed 1 microfiber towel folded in 4s and when I was done 15 minutes later it looked like it was just waxed.
Thanks buddy! That is 100% correct it does threaten a lot of people and then they just want to bash it. I have heard a lot about the 303 and I am thinking I need to try it as well. These products are indeed complete game changers and the world of car products is making huge leaps and bounds in great products! That's awesome to hear about the 303 and how well its working for you and the back end of the Traverses and alike vehicles are always dirty when the rest of the car is not bad. That's great to hear that it made it that easy to clean up and left it looking like a freshly detailed car! Thanks for all of your support buddy is greatly appreciated and thanks for letting me know your experience and results with the 303!
I've used this 5 times on different vehicles and like the ease of use, shine, and cost. I bought two more bottles so I wouldn't run out.
It is a great product and I also love the way it works and the result you get. Haha that's awesome you don't want to run out! I am going to have to pick another one up also. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it!
would it replace waxing?
Great Review...I tried this on my Z06 and was very impressed...but that car had very high reflectivity to begin with...What really sold me was when I used it on my 2001 4Runner that lives outside..That finish really popped...and even looked better the next day...incredible beading !
Thanks buddy! That's awesome to hear your results on both of your vehicles! I bet your Z06 is like my Challenger and is taken excellent care of but my pickup is like your 4Runner and lives out side all the time. I noticed the same thing the next day it really made it POP! The beading is what really blew my mind for how easy it is to use! Thanks for letting me know your results with this product I love hearing how everyone likes it. Thanks for watching, commenting, and your support it is very much apricated! Please leave a thumbs up on the video if you haven't it will help the video get out there for everyone to see.
I use this stuff myself and I LOVE IT!!! NOTE: I found that after you've done the first coat and dried the car, go back and re-wet the car, spray another coat on, let it sit for about 45-60 seconds then come back and spray with a strong stream of water. You'll find that the beading increases. Then, just dry the car again and the shine is incredible. My neighbors saw me use this and now they are hooked on using it as well. The water beads on my car so well, the last time it rained, there were lots of little beads of water on my car. I was heading out of town after the rain stopped and I got on the interstate, the wind from driving 60-70 mph actually dried my car. There was no water, no streaks, no water marks, nothing! I just ordered a stockpile of this stuff online and will continue to use it as long as Meguiar makes it!
Mark Binder That’s awesome to hear! It really is amazing stuff and is so easy to work with and not to mention you just can’t beat the price! Thanks for the tips and I am going to have to try that! When people actually give this product a chance they fall in love with it. That’s funny about your neighbors and it’s cool you got them hooked on it as well! Thanks for all of your support it’s greatly appreciated!
Me too
Thanks for the tip
What if i don't have the pressure water? Because I only use bucket of water everytime I wash my car. Any idea?
@@mciput Get a Worx Hydroshot and use the bucket hose attachment.
I've used ONLY Meguiars products for years and recently picked up the Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax and found it to be just as good as their other products. Its a great company and their products perform far superior to others on the Market!
Thanks for sharing your experience with Meguiars. They are a great company that make some really great products and you can't go wrong with using them. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I've taken tons of safety classes in my years in construction. What he's saying about the safety concerns with regard to silica are spot on. Silica will dry out plastics and rubber so keep it on the paint and no where else.
Thank you buddy I am glad that you understand unlike most people. Thanks for your support buddy!
Does the bottle say stay off of plastic and rubber?
Well, they have an sio2 plastic trim restorer, so…
What about the hood decals that some vehicles have, like Jeep Cherokees, Chevy trucks etc etc?
Dried silica powder (e.g. concrete) can dry things out, but not in this form. True ceramic coatings chemically cure and bind to the paint. They create a solid barrier. Nothing comes in, and nothing comes out (in a perfect world). That's its whole purpose. It can't possibly dry something out. There are many different forms and uses for silica. Meguires also markets it as safe on all vehicle exterior surfaces. My only concern is that it may smear on glass overtime, from the wipers

You’ve convinced me. The good thing is that you can use it over other polishes and waxes if you wish and it will only enhance the effect and longevity.
Good to know how little you used to achieve a great finish.
Good vid,
Cheers!
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the review on this product. It is very versatile and super easy to use. Thanks for your support!

Hey, People and car lovers. Quit bad mouthing Megiuar' s Ceramic Hybird wax. Read the damn directions. I have texted here on RUclips how to make it work for your car. I tested it 1.5 months ago! I use it in my detailing business. You are using it wrong! Don't put out bad info on this product. It works. Stop using it wrong. If you need to find out more about how to use it ask me and I will tell you or I will make a RUclips VIDEO. Then show you how. Just because you can't read a label or directions don't blame the product. I don't get paid by Meguiars for my detailing work! I know how to make it work like it should. So please quit lying about Meguiars Ceramic Hybird wax. I have it on both my own cars and it really works. It shines and last a long time. Both my cars sit out and are over 16 years old. When it rains it still sheets off. If your car gets dusty just hose it off and dry it off. That simple! Shawn
I have used it, it works great, but I didn’t do the best application, I’m looking forward to my next application now that I’ve seen how to properly apply it & I have the proper towels.
💯% agree with what you said @ the start of your video👍 Some people over analyze what's in this product. As long as it does what it says it's gonna do & the Pri¢e i$ Right💰 then you will be happy & buy more the next time you need some. Great review Bee🐝
I just want to be 100% truthful and honest with everyone. Yes they do! Exactly and that's what I look for in a product but we have people who feel threatened by a product so they are just going to bash it and never give it a chance just so they can to try to hinder the sales of it. But I will say this stuff had blown me away and it's a really great product! Thanks for your support it is appreciated!

Man, THANK YOU for being so down to earth, realistic and logical. Yeah, pretty sure most of us have no clue what's in anything we use, but if it works well, and the price fits, so what? Awesome vid, sir!
Thank you buddy I appreciate the kind words! Got to keep it real and down to earth. That right and that's what matters is if the product actually works as claimed and at the right price and meets your expectations. Thanks again for your support buddy I appreciate it!
Just did my 1987 Porsche 944 in Guards red. I had clay bared the original paint, a light compound, and swirl removal. I followed the instructions exactly and it worked as advertised and the shine and water sheeting is amazing.
It is a good product that some like to give a bad wrap. Thanks for sharing and supporting the channel! 🐝
Gr8 video, I've been using this ceramic wax on my f56 cooper s and I completely agree. It's by far the best product I've ever used for the money .i left my car without washing for nearly 8 weeks after applying it and the water beading was still awesome. Can't recommend it enough 👏🏻🔥🔥
Thanks bud! I am glad to hear that you are also getting great results out of it and like it! It does hold up great and like you said just can't say enough good things about it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
After watching a video a few months back I started using this product on my 2014 Silverado and it is easy to use and it works amazing. The surface is super slippery smooth and the water beads up ridiculously good. I do the spray reapply method every couple car washes or so for maintaining the finish and I have no complaints whatsoever. I use it on the whole truck exterior....metal, glass, and plastic. I highly recommend it.
Thanks for sharing your experience with this product and glad to hear that you are liking it and it is working good for you! It is a great product and I do also really like it and it is just so easy to use and offers great protection! That's the key wit it is to reapply it ever few washes and it will keep everything protected and lasting long. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I apply HCW dry, one light spray per panel, and a spray on a MF and wipe in, then wipe off just like any other spray wax. It's performance is boosted like crazy, and I barely use 30-50ml of product per car. Also the gloss levels and slickness are greatly increased when applied dry. Crazy if you follow Meg's instructions, they want you to use half a bottle every time haha
They do want you to use a lot of product but I guess its ok because it is so cheap. That is very interesting and thanks for sharing that info! I will have to try your method out. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🐝

@@kenlawton1531 Thank you so much brother I really appreciate it! Welcome to the MeanBee392 family! 🐝
Thank you for putting this video together Mean Bee - it looks like the experience I've had also. I'm a newbie (two months since I even heard of "ceramic coats" or "sealants" or anything like it) and Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Spray was the first protectant type product I bought. It took me a few tries to figure this out (and left some streaks along the way - I'm lucky I have multiple old low-value cars to test on), but I find it works best, and uses way less product, if I fully dry the panel, then hit it with a damp towel to slightly moisten the surface before I spray. With that method, a panel like the hood of that truck would take one squirt per quarter (so four total). Looks great, I just did my first touch up (I figure every two months) the same way and I'm hoping that will protect my paint going forward. Again, I'm a rookie, but after a few fails, that seems to work best for me.
Your opening point was spot on.
Thanks for sharing your experience using this product. Nothing wrong being new to the detailing world and trust me I am still learning as well. Sound like this product is working great for you and you have figured out a way and method of applying it that works really well and uses less product and that's awesome to hear. Doing maintenance washes and touch ups every few months will be key and will also help the products protection level lasting a long time. Thanks for watching and commenting buddy!
I used to use it also and do still own a bottle, but I found TW Ice Seal n Shine both lasted longer and was easier to apply ultimately. Both are fine though. I still get a wild hair to apply it now and then just because I have it.
So the most overlooked question is...
Average wax life 2 to 3 months, they say this is good much longer. How has it held up over time?
Any personal experiences??
That is a good question. I found it to last around the 2.5 month mark but was starting to diminish pretty quick and would need to be reapplied to keep the protection going.
I know this is an old comment but thought I'd chime in since I've been using this product for about 2 years now. The product duration varies a lot depending on the conditions outside and whether or not the car is kept inside a garage or stays parked outside most of the time. If you live in a place that snows and your vehicle often encounters a lot of road salts then do NOT expect this product to last that long with a single application (I would say about 1 month with a greatly diminished performance from the first application). However, if you live somewhere where it is mostly sunny year-round and hardly snows if at all, you can see it last anywhere from 2.5 to 3 months with a single application. The purpose of this product as I've come to learn is to maintain it by reapplying it at least once every month, whether it be the method described on the bottle for reapplication or by applying it as if it is the initial base coat. I've personally apply it like a base coat each time and after a while of doing so I've noticed that it is almost builds "layers" of itself on the surface of your paint. It tends to perform better the more you use it over time. I get lazy so I usually only wash my car once a month and reapply during that time and have had excellent results, would highly recommend.
Good points. Meguiar's never claims the product is a "coating", so no one should take issue with it. It sounds like competitors may be defensive. Companies often do not patent products - to avoid the need to disclose proprietary technology.
Thanks buddy! That is very true they have not and its crazy the way people have acted over it. To me it is a great inexpensive product that is easy to get a hold of and is so user friendly so what more can a person ask for. That's correct so why would they put a patent on it. They are smart for not doing that IMO. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it!
just watched the meguire's video and they say do not use too much. 3-4 sprays total for the hood. too much it doesn't work as well.
That is correct if you use to much it just becomes hard to work with and gets very streaky. A little bit of this product does go a long ways and I found that out about half way through doing my pickup. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I honestly do it your way every time.. spray it directly on the vehicle and I spread it in a crosshatch pattern.. I let it sit for a min or 2 then buff off with a dry Micro.. I do this a day before I go anywhere cause it makes me feel better to let it set(or cure) and it does a fantastic job.. we had a hell of a good rain storm last week got out of work and people thought it just rained around my car.. My car was dry by the time we got out... but I also applied Nano Bond Diamond Nano ceramic coating with a 9H Hardness 2 weeks before.. which is absolutely awesome.... thanks for the video and the review
Thanks for sharing your experience using this product! I personally think that is the best way of applying it and letting it have that day to cure is a very smart thing to do to let the SiO2 property's cure. I also think you using this on top of your ceramic coating is a great idea to help keep that protective layer healthy and refreshed using this as a topper. I have never used that ceramic coating but it sound like it gave you great results and blew everyone's minds at your work lol. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🐝
@@MeanBee392 yes sir.. It sure did.. I tell you it's has been great makes the car easy to clean and is always shiny.. I mean the car is so slick anything you put on it slides right off.. then you top it off with Maguire ceramic wax hybrid.. O MAN.. Its the truth... to me Nano Bond ceramic top coat and Maguire hybrid ceramic wax is the best 1 2 punch for protection.. I can only imagine what that would look like on a fresh brand new or Newer vehical paint job.. My paint is a little weathered an wore.. Its a 2008 and has over 182000 Mi on it.. but with the right ACDelco touch up paint and clear coat clay bar polishing sealants an the Ceramic coatings it came out out the most beautiful crystal red I could get without needing crazy amount of money i dont have to have it professionally redone
That is so awesome to hear that you got and amazing finish out of your car! I haven't used their ceramic wax but I have been thinking I need to try it! Thanks again for sharing your experience using these products and sharing how they have worked for you! I really enjoy sharing and chatting about detailing products with my MeanBee392 family. 🐝
Dude, next time try to use a dark color vehicle and a better camera angle so we can actually see how the product works on the vehicle.
White is the worst color to use as a demo for any type of wax, or water replant.
@Trung Pham Thanks for your input and advice I will take that into consideration. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@Slimjim It is hard to see but that is the only vehicle that I had available. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Pack leader of the house of mods racing team here…. Because of this video we use this product on all six of our Audis and Lamborghinis
That's awesome to hear! Thanks for your support!
I like the product. It’s just a bit grabby when when spreading it. Also buffing it off I found I had to go over a bit to really knock it down. So far I like it and really want to see what type of effect the rain is going to have on it.
Never thought I would say this, but, I can’t wait for the rain😂
It does have a bit of a grab to it but once my microfiber got wet that seamed to go away. I had a few spots that was like that when I was buffing it off but I was thinking I might of went to heavy in those spots. Hahaha I know what you are talking about with the rain and I want it to rain now but unfortunately we are supposed to be getting snow tonight. With the way it beaded the water I think the rain is going to fly off. Thanks you for watching and commenting its greatly appreciated! If you haven't already please like the video it will help the video and hopefully pop it up for more people to see. Thanks for your support!
This has been my experience...laying the foundation, you develop muscles knocking down that haze...lets see how it holds up to dust and rain
@@Freko1970 Normally if you are getting that much haze its probably because the product is being applied to heavy. Not saying you are doing it wrong but that has just been my personal experience with it. It does a good job holding up and I have more videos of it on my channel if you would like to watch them. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@MeanBee392 found out what the problem was...i washed my car, dried off the water and applied it dry. Got confused because ive never used microfiber towels to dry, always used a chamois. Now, the was went on straight and I had a hell of a time wiping the haze off. It came out beautifully though, Im tempted to rinse out any accumulated excess off it and apply a second coat. Nothing has stuck to it though...even dried bugs come off with a slight nudge of a fingernail.b
@@Freko1970 Ok that makes sense and I bet doing it dry like that did make it quit hard to get off. You could of rinsed it all down again then just dried like normal and that might of helped cut down on the haze as well. I would definitely do a second layer just to help extend the life and give that extra gloss. It's a great product and the self cleaning power is crazy. Thanks for replying back and being honest I appreciate your support on the channel!
Like the review. The 3 evaluation rules are what every user expect. Price, effective advertised purpose, easy to use. Must have.
Thank you! That is very true and good rules! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice honest vid Big Dawg! 👍 keep up the quality content.
JDMJDK Thanks bud I appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice one Bee! It's nice to know I'm not the only one who has to take test to know the chemical properties of the products I used for work. Keep up the video reviews I'll see you on the flip side buddy.
Thanks HOOF! They can be very long and some times boring but they do provide a lot of good information! Sounds great and hopefully see you in the live stream! Take care bud and thanks for the support!
Yep Hoof. Not the only one. They used to be called MSDS but since we are trying to catch up to the rest of the world, the placards are changing, the symbols are changing and and the name has changed. But the SDS info is a lot easier to find the call info, what to do in an emergency and so on. Used to take forever to find some of that stuff with the MSDS
I hear ya Camaro Time I just had to take 20 different test before this month ended. I gotta recertify every year. Catch you later CT
That's nice that it works and all but I also am a firm believer of holding companies liable for what they advertise and sell. You give people a little room to lie and they'll take off with it. I really do hope the bottle contains an adequate amount of ceramic properties as it states. With that being said thanks for the video and contributing to researching of products.
I do believe that it does contain what they say regardless of what other peoples "options" are on it. Is it just a ceramic coating... no but do I believe that it has ceramic and wax properties in it... yes. Thanks you and I hope you enjoyed the video!
I think people are being really mean about this stuff because everyone knows u can’t get a ceramic coating from a spray but this def does help and it says what it does
@@gsjourney3054 Very true! It's a great product for the price and works as advertised. Thanks for watching and commenting!
ceramic coating and ceramic wax are 2 completely different things
do you know the definition of "hybrid" ? Check it out next time -- just a suggestion
I plan on evaluating by the end of this RV season. So far we have traveled almost 8,000 miles and 17 states through all kinds of weather....
I like this review because its telling the truth. Its a cheap product that uses ceramic properties and seems to do exactly what you would expect at this price point.
Everyone gets butt hurt because apparently you can only use the word "ceramic" if your paying a shop $500 to apply a ceramic coating.
If you buy this product.... You know exactly what to expect.
Thanks! Exactly and what's not to love about a product like this with an awesome price point. You are correct they think its not a true or even a ceramic because you didn't pay some one ridiculous amounts of money to have someone do it. Thanks for your support it is appreciated!

In Hawaii, they charge $1,000
@metalmanhawaii No way that cant be right!
@@MeanBee392 sorry for the late reply...Unfortunately yes...but in Hawaii, we're used to the stupid prices :( !!!! I heard one company "only" charges $800.
Its ok! Wow that is just so crazy to me! I would never pay that!
I have been using this product for 2 years now........It works very well and lasts when you do this: 1- shake it very well 2-dont over spray it. 3- don't let it sit on the vehicle for more than 45 seconds before rinsing off 4- use a strong flat spray to rinse it off........It works well on glass and wheels too. Only down side is you use extra water compared to other waxes/sealants. I use this after every wash ( usually twice a month ) . That way it never wears off.
Thanks for sharing your results and experience using this product! It does work and perform very well if used properly and I do agree about the water consumption with just spraying it on and rinsing it off that's why I personally never use it like that. Thanks for watching and commenting!
LOL, so the real truth is "I don't know." Now that's helpful.
LOL good comment you made me laugh! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hey, I watched it really closely on my IPad and you did not turn it over. The product side hit the hood just like it should. Like I said GREAT VID.
LOL That's why I was confused because I know I wound not do something like that. Thanks buddy I appreciate your support!
GREAT video brother. I loved the whole thing. I loved the beginning middle and end. Back to the questions I asked. With a new car would using this product regularly suffice or would you recommend starting with a different type of product. I am impressed with the product.
Thanks brother! I am glad that you loved the whole video! Thanks for all of your support it is much appreciated! Personally I would recommend using this product regularly and it will offer tons of protection and I wouldn't go with a different product simply for the cost and ease of use. I have been blown away by this product!
What I recommend with this product is use it every other time you clean your vehicle
Although on a brand new vehicle you could probably get by two or three washes before applying the product again
Also weather and conditions will play a big role in the use of that product
Tried this product today $13.97 at Wal-Mart. I used less than a half a bottle on two cars that sit outside all the time. I am 58 years old. I want to wash and wax two cars in under 2 hrs. This product let's me do that. Today is 5-20-19. I applied the Highbird wax with a microfiber sponge. Spraying it on the sponge. Washed car! Rinsed soap off. While the car was still wet. Sprayed the sponge with the wax. Applied it both ways on each panel over the whole car. Then hit each panel with large amounts of water. Then put a second coat of Hybird wax again. Then more water. Then dried the whole car with micro fiber cloth. My 2005 Taurus never looked so Good. It shined like never before. Parked it out front an then did my second car. The same way! 1 hr 45 minutes. Tops. The second car was white. It brighted the white up. The car has factory chrome rims. I applied the wax on them without spraying the brake rotors. They shined up real nice. Now, I need to see how long the beading and shine last. Really like the how fast it took to do both cars. I use to apply Nu Finish with a orbitor machine. Don't want to do that any more. Even though it lasted a year. Shawn
Great job! Man you cant go wrong for all major maguiars product. Engineering amazing maguiars is worlds best for car details paint sealant, wax, car wash, compound etchetera. Highly recommended maguiars. Thank you keep safe...
Thanks I appreciate it! That's very true they are a great company that has a great reputation and has been around for a long time. Thank you and thanks for watching and commenting! Take care!
To get more use out of the bottle, meguiars channel said you only need about 3 to 4 sprays for the hood. I followed how they said to use it and it worked great. Doesn’t seem like it would be enough product but surprisingly less product still goes a long way
That's is very true and a little of this product goes a long ways. I was over applying it at first and found out quick I did not need that much.
it seems like it makes your truck really pop when its finally dry.
Yes it did! Its a great product and I really like it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
OMGoodness !! Loved your commentary and vour demo. You explained everything I needed to know in simple terms and to the point. I needed your step by step demo to help me.
Thank you .. thank you for your in-depth demo.
Thank you very much! Glad you liked and enjoyed the video and found it helpful. You're welcome and thanks for your support watching and commenting!
This stuff actually works it's worth the money for 15 bucks I put it on my truck and I've tried others you will not get that super high gloss shine out of it though
Howard Griffith Sounds like you have had good results with it also. It’s definitely a great deal for the product and how well it preforms is awesome! I would say it’s not a glossy as my ceramic coated car but personally it has a lot more gloss than a wax. Thanks for watching and commenting!
The intro was on point great information, in the end use what works. Good vid man
Thanks bud I really appreciate it! That's right at the end of the day find that product that suits your needs and liking. This product for the price and how it performs is unbelievable and I really like it! Thanks for your support, watching and commenting it is very appreciated!

I've been using the Meguiar's product for several months now on both my girlfriend's new Dodge Charger and my new Dodge Challenger and I love the way it protects the paint on both cars. The water beading is outstanding and I love the fact that I can drive down the road at speed after a rainstorm and the car cleans itself of water. It's very easy to apply and the protection is great. Awesome product.
Congratulations to you and your girlfriend on the new Charger and Challenger! That's how my wife and I are also she has the Charger and I have the Challenger. They do make some really great product that are easy to find at local stores and are very user friendly. Glad to hear that you are also having great results with Meguiar's. Thanks for letting me know your experiences with the products and glad you like them. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it!
controversy??? i haven't seen any. another middle of the road Ceramic product. there are many more which are more expensive. best kept secret -- Turtle Wax Ice.
Their was a lot when the product first came out. I would agree it is a middle of the road product but it's great for people who are not big into detailing but want a nice clean car with some protection. I keep hearing about Turtle Wax Ice and I think I need to pick some up and try it out. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Prime NitroExpress Some guy who has his own line of relabeled crap claimed Megs HCW is just water
Looking really good bud. I almost bought some of this yesterday. People get all upset because it is not one of the expensive coatings from the big name makes. It is from a consumer grade company being sold in just about every place that sells detail products. And since it is soo easy to apply almost anyone can do it. There goes the big business of coating people's cars...LOL I have not done a coating on mine for several reasons. I like the process of doing it, and the norm of ceramic coatings it has to be kept inside and no water can get on it for set amount of hours. I have no where to keep mine away from the extremes...…….
Thanks buddy! Thanks for checking this out and all of your support! That is very true it might hurt big name company's and the coast of a ceramic coating but it is really nice that it is available almost everywhere and super easy to use! I understand because when I did my ceramic coating on the Challenger it took quite awhile and you have to have everything right and not expose it to water for 24 hours. Kind of a pain but when it was done it is amazing but with this you can apply a product very easily and have a lot of protection and no cure time. This product is very cool and I would recommend it to anyone! You should pick up a bottle and try it out heck even make a review on it.
@@MeanBee392 That is one reason I did not do the ceramic. The cost and the 24 hour cure time. Plus, I have not seen the overall results if there can be any harm in ceramic coatings as paint is supposed to breathe. And that you have to constantly use the ceramic boosts to keep the coating going. If it is a true coating , why do you need to keep re-applying it. I know this stuff is still technically a wax with ceramic in it. And once you put the base layer, you just spry on and rinse off after each wash. But now costs are coming down and who knows. Maybe I will try them. I am still on the fence about getting this though. not because of bad reviews. But I just like the traditional stuff.
You are totally correct and have very good points that I understand 100%! I also like just a traditional wax and that's all I will ever use on my Chevelle just because it's therapy for me doing it hat way.
I wanna try this on my vehackle too
Lol! It works best on vehackles rather than on a vehicle.
My hood is wrapped in plastic foliage. Should I apply on it or....?
You can apply it on your hood that is wrapped. It might make it a bit glossier but it will help the hydrophobic's and protecting your wrap from UV rays.
Use a darker vehicle next time please
This is what I had available but maybe next time.
I tried this a couple months ago on a 2015 Lincoln MKC, silver in color. It works great. I followed the recommendations on the bottle. I got 4 washes out of the bottle. It beads like nothing I've ever seen. Slick and stays cleaner longer. Washes easier too. Love bugs here in Florida didn't stick as they did before the applications.
Thanks for sharing and that is awesome to hear that you had a great experience using it as well! It is a really good product that is SO easy to use. I have never had to deal with love bugs lucky but I have heard and seen picture on how bad they can be and make a car look. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🐝
Go spray it on a black car in the sun and see if it's just water.🤣
LOL good point!
You're not supposed to apply ANY product in the sunshine
Definitely do not apply in the sun! Especially on a dark color, unless you are going to buff it.
mark soeken the sun is to far he can’t apply it 😝
Excellent tutorial. I used this on my Chevy Trax and it looks awesome.
Thank YOU!!! Love this product... and the entire video was fantastic. I use as a spray-on sealant about once per month.
You're welcome and thanks for the support! This is a great product all the way around. Sounds like you are also having great results and that's my plan it to keep using it to keep the protection levels up. How long have you been using it so far?

My pickup is my daily driver and is always out side to it will have a good true test. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it!
I use this on all four of our vehicles. Works great on all , but takes a little more rubbing on the darker colors. Both white colored vehicles are super shiny and slick. The darker colors look great also with a little more microfiber buffing. I really recommend this ceramic from Meguiars!!
Thanks for sharing your experience using this product and also glad to hear it works well for you and you like it! On the darker colors try a damp microfiber then followed up with a dry one and that should help and be less buffing. Hopefully that helps and thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you, someone who says it. "I don't know, and will probably never know" why is that not an acceptable answer? I don't know

Outstanding review! 👍

My white Mustang never gets washed or wet, just wipe it down with Spray Wax after a drive to remove dust and bugs. I ran out of my usual Mother's Spray Wax & thought I'd try this, since there was no Mother's at the store. I simply applied to a microfiber cloth and rubbed it on, then buffed it off. Seems more like a thin liquid wax. Didn't notice any difference in surface or shine. No idea about beading ! 😁 I might use a damp applicator next time. I read elsewhere it streaks badly after rinsing and is a pain to buff out.
I would say to use a damp microfiber next time. But I never had a problem with it streaking after rinsing but that might depend on what type of water you have it it is hard water or not. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts and experience with it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@MeanBee392 On my truck, I did the hood and rear panel with a damp cloth and the rest per Meguiars. The Meguiars method definitely resulted in smaller beads and better shedding on the vertical panels than the cloth application. But both work well.
My drying towel got very wet and I did get some noticeable dull swirls when it dried, which required some effort to remove with a truly dry towel. Have had same issue with NuFinish, so no biggy. Waiting to see durability now. The Hybrid Ceramic Wax seems to work very well. I went through several severe downpours followed by sunshine on the interstate and the truck still looks clean and shiny! It blow dried really well!
Glad to hear that over all you have had a good experience with it. I have heard about it leaving some residue behind and being kind of hard to remove but fortunately I never had that happen to me. It is extremely hydrophobic and the water just fly's off. Thanks for sharing!
Initial application looks a lot like Adam's H2O Guard and Gloss.
It reminded me exactly of that and that way of doing it makes it super easy! Thanks for watching and commenting! Please hit that thumbs up if you liked this video.
I just bought a bottle and used it for the first time to me it’s totally worth it works great and left a beautiful shine on my Lexus
That's awesome to hear that you tried it out and you are happy with it! It's a great product personally and well worth the money. Thanks for your feed back on your experience with it and thanks for watching and commenting!
Very nice video very descriptive I understood completely what you said as I to do a full background research on all the products that I use as I do this as a profession
Thanks for the complement! Its never a bad idea to research products and epically if you are doing it as a profession you want/need to know about the products 100% before using them. Thanks for your support!
That’s funny, you sprayed your sponge changed hands flipped it over and had the applicator side facing up. Excellent vid!
Not sure what you are talking about with the sponge... Thanks and glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and commenting!
12:32 You’re holding the applicator in the left hand and then spraying the wax on it
Then you grab the applicator with your right hand, so that the product side or wet side of the applicator is in the palm of your right hand.
So you’re using the dry non product side of the applicator to then spread the little amount you’ve previously sprayed on the hood
-so effectively the better side is the one with less product??
I watched it closely and I did not do that LOL!
watch it again, he's a magician ,slight-of-hand, but he did use the sprayed side, guaranteed!
There are many products that shine and make water bead....there is some difference in how long they last.
That's exactly correct. I am doing real world testing to see how long it will last and that will be the real truth. I have one update video on it and will be having another here shortly. If you liked the video please consider subscribing to the channel. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I made a wrong move picking chemical guy’s hydroslick, i don’t like the way that it needs to apply, needs to be precise on waiting time before wiping off, too long, and i mean seconds, then the gel becomes hard to remove. I’ve used speedwax spray from other brand and it beads the water just the same. If the hydroslick comes off everytime i was, i dont want to spend 4 hours everytime.
Two things... you’re using WAY more on the product than you need to (I’ve done probably 6-8 cars now and have only used about 1/4 of a bottle). A tiny bit goes a long way, it can also be diluted significantly with similar results.
And two, please pronounce “vehicle” correctly!!!!!!!
Good video...
I am just using the product as many people would but after using it I did realize that I was using WAY more than I needed to. Thanks for your input and yes this bottle will do multiple vehicles and or multiple applications. Lol I am pronouncing it correctly but it is different sounding to people in different parts of the country. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@Kory Madigan It is Bee Heckle! LOL!
I used too much on my hood and was a big deal to get off. Be careful
Yes a little goes a long ways I found that out also.
@ Thanks buddy! I dont let anyone or what they say bother me. I am glad you enjoy the videos and it would be a boring place if everyone talked the same! Thanks for your support I appreciate it buddy!
I used this for the first time a few weeks ago. It works and I would buy it again.
That's great to hear and glad that you also liked the product! Thanks for sharing and your support on the channel! 🐝
The initial layer left my truck all hazy and streaky
Thats a huge bummer! Do you think you might of used to much? I know it is very easy to over apply this product and it will do what you have described. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Did you use a pressure washer ?
I tried it today it dose what it says price is good I'm happy
It is a good product. That's awesome that you tried it and are happy with it and thank you for sharing your thoughts and personal experience with it!
i use the same product and honestly. theres a way better way to applicate it (takes longer tho) after wash you dry the car first, spray your pannel. use a moist fibercloth to applicate. buff off with a dry fibercloth. it looks and feels way smoother. i use meguiars for my car and turtle wax for the wife. i feel like turle wax ceramic wax gives a bit of a darker finish on your black paint
I have heard that applying it the way you mentioned does give better results. Both great brands and you can’t go wrong with either one. I have also found that Turtle Wax will deepen the paint color and I do really like that. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Tbh It could say it's made up of tears from baby unicorns, as long as it works and it's not over priced I'm in. 😂😂😂😂
Hahaha that's the best anology I have heard! I do agree with you 100%! Thanks for the awesome comment and watching the video! If you haven't please consider subscribing to the channel.
I’ve been using this on my car for a while now and i have no complaints, great finish, easy to apply and it lasts for a very long time.
Thanks for sharing your experience using this product and glad to hear that it has been working out great for you!
I got to say ... you nailed it in the beginning with everything you said , Kudos to you! Awesome 👏🏼
I appreciate that! Thanks for your support on the channel!
So I did a friends car today. It was a first application so there was lots of rubbing. It’s kinda sticky and took about 5 towels to complete. The results however were outstanding. She was very pleased, looks like I’ll get free food the rest of the year, thanks Mesquiar’s
It is an awesome product. I noticed when doing mine if I was using to much product it wanted to get that way on me also. Not saying you used to much it could be several different circumstance's water, temp, if it was humid and so on. Glad to hear that you also like this product! Hahaha that's a good thing we always like food and for the rest of the year that's a huge perk!
This does the same as wet wax and almost everything else. Makes water bead. Rinse aid from your dishwasher will do the same.
I don't think I would put rinse aid for dish washers on my paint but that just me. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@MeanBee392 less harmful than the stuff you are using.
Thanks for the video. Nice truck, by-the-way. I see videos that state to buff the car to make the surface 'perfect' without swirls and marks before applying coatings. Did you do that first? Your truck looks really good to me, so I just want to know if you have done the buffing thing recently or if I could get by with just using the MHCW. My car looks pretty good, but at the right angle I can see some minor swirls. Keep the vids coming.
Thanks! I did not do any buffing before using this product. I think using a product like this if you have minor swirling that doesn't drive you crazy then it is fine to use it without buffing. If you are going to use a long term paint protection like a ceramic or graphene coating then I would absolutely recommend buffing and preparing the surface before applying. Hopefully that helps!
Great video! You are welcome and glad that you liked it. The product is holding up great for me 1 month later. Definitely more then just water in that bottle. Truck looks great and I look forward to update videos.
Thanks brother! I love this product and it's no joke! That's great to hear and I cant wait to see what my results for longevity will be with it. Hahaha YES way more than just water in that bottle! Man it turned out so nice and it really gave it a nice shine. Thanks for all of your support brother!
I actually applied it the same way as you did on the passenger side. I am in loooove with this product. I think it takes about 12 hours to get the true shine and slickness out of it. This was a great video thank you!
I think that's the bet way of applying it to save on product and working it into the paint better. I am just wanting to see if their will be a difference in the longevity between the two sides. This is an awesome product and I am in love with it as well! Thanks for watching and commenting it is appreciated and please leave a thumbs up on the video if you haven't.
I have some oily streaking will it go away
Dallas Williams you have to rub get like a detail spray if that happens or pressure wash it off
@Dallas Williams You can also wet the car again and spray the product on the surface and rinse off and that will work to remove streaking from the product.
Looks great. Can we see the white truck outside to see how it looks like in natural sunlight?
Thanks! That would of been a good idea and I am sorry for not showing it out in the natural light but it has been to long now to show that. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🐝
Used this product on two vehicles and it works great.
That's awesome to hear and glad you liked the product! Thanks for sharing your thought on it and watching and commenting!
Looks good. I use it on my car and every time it rains it leaves NO water spots. The water beads right off especially while ur driving the water rolls up the windshield.
Thanks! I love watching the water bead up and blow right off when driving! Thanks for sharing your experience with this product! 👍
Hell of a video MeanBee. This video really sheds light on the controversy around this product. Thanks for demonstrating and now I feel comfortable trying out different stuff.
Thank you! That's what I was hoping for and to help people understand. I really don't under stand the controversy around this product other than people feel threatened by it. You're welcome and that is awesome that you feel more comfortable now and makes me feel good that my video was able to help you out! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I prefer the sheeting action of DPC Armor to the water beading of Meguair’s and other products since water beads means water spots when the water dries - particularly when washing in the hot sun or after a rain. Water beads are what people look for. But water sheeting means the paint also dries faster since it holds less water. You don’t have to worry about drying it ad quickly as possible before the water dries. I applied Meguair’s Hybrid Ceramic Wax on the windshield. But I wouldn’t recommend it since the windshield ends up cloudy instead of crystal clear. It will be interesting to see how long Meguair’s Hybrid lasts on your truck. Since Meguair’s Ultimate Fast Finish lasts just as long - per manufacturer - and gives you a far glossier shine, I don’t know why you would use Meguair’s Hybrid other than how much cheaper it is. Ultimate Fast Finish is also much faster to apply - reducing the drudgery of detailing your car.
I honor your opinion and we all look for certain things in products. I understand about water beading and water sheeting and causing water spots. I feel that this product has great at sheeting and I don't think that it will cause very many water spots because the surface retention is so low and they can run off easily. I have not had a problem with it on my windshield and it is still very crystal clear. I am interested to see how long it will last as well and if their will be a difference between either side with using different methods. The price on this product and ease of use is top notch personally. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video brother! I totally agree, it is a good product especially considering the price. Good review, I will be looking forward to your updates!
Thanks brother! Yes its very good and the price you just can not beat! Thank you I am glad you enjoyed it! Sounds great they will be coming in the near future! Thanks for your continued support!
@@MeanBee392 You bet brother!
literally bought two bottles while on lunch break earlier today. I'm excited to use this product.
Nice! To me personally it is a fantastic product that you just cant beat for the price! I am getting close to the two month mark and just my base coat looks like it is still holding up great (I will make another video on how its holding up). If you don't mind let me know what you think of it when you use it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Where passion meets common sense! Brilliant!
Thanks I appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hear hear!!
How many months does it last before you have to apply another application? Great video btw. Thanks!
Ohhh boy!! The megs!! Haha was waiting for this vid!! Man, idc what anyone says. That stuff works!! Great information in beginning as well. Between you and FAB yall are gonna make me buy some and do a review! 😄 great video Man!!!
We should buy some and make a video also ... lol . I do want to try it out
I agree. I saw it the other day at Pepboys.. almost bought it. Guess I will next time I'm in!
LOL O NO NOT THE Megs!!!! That's awesome you have been waiting for this video! YES this stuff really does work and it priced very well and super easy to use! HAHAHA you really do need to pick some up and review it and this product is going to blow you away! Thanks and thanks for all of your support brother!
Lol I think you convinced me😁😁 hey man no problem.. I've got love for all my car detailing/enthusiast! You got an awesome channel. Keep up work. Keep an eye out for my video on this stuff! 😈😂
That's great to hear! Thanks buddy that means a lot to me! O I will be watching and waiting for your review!
Firstly, don’t know why for the life of me I have only found out about your channel, glad I did. Secondly, it’s a great review. Especially on your white vehicle, which is hard and a challenge to make the paint pop, especially white and silver cars. Here in the U.K it’s 25% off at Halfords, which is a car parts store. Think I’ll definitely grab a bottle. Looking forward to your upcoming reviews.
I see that it’s ok to apply it onto the side windows, but is it advisable to apply on the front windscreen, or rear with wipers? Would it cause the wipers to judder?
Great review mate🍻😊
Thanks for the kind words! I am really glad that you like and enjoy the channel! Thanks again it is hard to get white and silver to pop but this product did definitely do that. Although it's harder to see the water beading on white at the end it really shows the shine that it gave it. Very nice 25% off is a good deal! I have been told that it is more expensive in the UK so hopefully that gets the price point whare it needs to be. I used it on my windshield and have been in quit a bit of snow and rain and haven't had any problems with my wipers skipping or jumping it more or less really acts like a glass sealant and I use my wipers less at road speeds. My biggest tip for someone using it the first time is to not go to heavy applying it because a little goes a long ways. If it is applied to heavy it can be a bit more challenging to buff off (maybe an extra towel) but it's nothing crazy hard to buff off. If you dont mind when you pick some up and use it let me know you thoughts and experiences with it. Thanks for your support from the UK that is very cool!
@@MeanBee392 will do! I've just got back and got a bottle. Was originally £20 got it for £15.
I've just cleaned my car last weekend, and applied Ultimate Fast Finish, then a coat of ultimate paste wax. So the next time I do a maintenance wash, I'll use this as a top up.
That's not a bad price! It will work as a great topper and thanks for letting me know.
Next time you apply you should try the method Adams suggest for guard and gloss. Spray panel with maybe 2-4 sprays depending on size take a damp towel go over then finish with a dry towel. Worked great for me and and uses a very small amount of product. To me in theory this is a water activated product so a damp towel should better help the bond and it will hold onto more product allowing it to be spread out more. Tried spray on spray off for my 2nd wash and noticed i had used a ton more product and was questioning how effective my application was. So think i will stick to base application in future already have to dry the car any how.
Thanks! I was also thinking the same thing after this video of applying it like the H2O Guard and Gloss. That is another product that I like and I think that would be the best way. I think the spray on rinse off seams like a waste of product and was also thinking Of just applying it every time I use it like the H2O G&G just to get a thicker more even application. Like you said you still have to dry the car so why not. Thanks for your positive comment and support it is greatly appreciated!
I have a black vette..it had swirl marks all over it..i took this product and applied it to a damp cloth and applied to to my dry car..i let it dry about 2 minutes and wiped it off... I was absolutely amazed how well this product worked..my car looks like glass..
Thanks for sharing your experience with the product! Did it help with the swirl marks? I have been asked about that but I never tried using it to help reduce swirl marks so I didn't know. It does work very well and glad to hear that you also had a positive experience using it as well! what year is your Vette? Thanks for watching and commenting!
I just used this product for the first time the other day. And since I already had a previous basecoat of carnauba wax on the truck, I simply used the spray on - rinse off method according to the bottle. The result was amazing!! Great product!
Thanks for sharing! That is a great way to maintain your base layer on your truck and it is super easy to do! Glad to hear that you also like this product. Happy detailing!
Ive only just come across this product. My car has a nice polish finish on it. Do i need to still do the foundation layer for first use or just the spray on rinse off method?
@@lukegambin3790 since I also had a good layer of canuba wax on mine, I just sprayed it on and rinsed it off
So, what if the water you rinse with is hard water and causes spotting? Usually, when I clean my truck I'll wash and soap it down, dry it then come back with another product which is wet and a microfiber towel to wipe off most of the hard spots. If I use this product the way Mcguires suggests I would have hard water spots with my newly sprayed/waxed car.
It works very well with hard water from keeping it from spotting but you will need to dry it off right away. The best thing to do with hard water is to use a drying aid like this product or another of your choice and get it dries as soon as possible. Hopefully that is helpful and thanks for watching and commenting! 🐝
If you wipe it on with a damp rag and let it flash like a normal wax it turns out so slick even better than the way they recommend, and your way need some water
Thanks for the video. I bought a bottle and plan on using it. Can I apply it to a new vehicle as well as the glass and tires? Thanks!
Your welcome. Awesome it is a great product! Yes you can apply it to a new vehicle and on the glass and or wheels but I would not apply it to the tires. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I don't understand why they say to apply it to a wet vehicle. Why not dry panels? Also why rinse with water for subsequent applications after the base layer?
Because the water on the panel will help spread the product more evenly helping out the ease of application. I would also say same go's for rinsing it with water that way people who are not into detailing it will help them use this product with less effort. But you can apply it to a dry panel and you don't have to rinse with water.
