Merry Christmas ...
I've watched two other videos on the Meguiar's hybrid and even on the directions on the bottle, it recommends for the initial application to wash, rinse, spray on the hybrid wax, then wipe it into the surface, THEN rinse again in order to get a solid 'base coat' of the product on the surfaces. After that, the applications are supposed to be spray on, rinse off.
The Meguiar's is definitely a product I want to try as soon as it hits the shelves. The low cost/ease of use (IMO) tend to off-set any possible durability issues since this is something you can do every time you wash your car and only adds a minute or two to the time it takes to do a regular wash. Many people I know use a spray wax/quick detailer as a "drying aid" when they wash their cars. Just substitute the hybrid wax for whatever drying aid you use and it adds no more time to the job, instead it adds to and enhances your paint protection.
Indeed...if used every time you wash...no need to worry about durability.
Glad to hear that the snowflake patter application method I've been using is OK.
hahahahha...😂👍 Love it!
I use the Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax. My guest application was after a fresh mild paint correction detail. I massaged it into the surface with a microfiber drying towel and I only spray on and spray off with a power washer to rejuvenate. It's good product that last fairly long. It's certainly better in my opinion than spending $1k+ for retail grade ceramic coating that realistically lasts 2 years for a basic daily driver.
Your video was informative and nicely done. I've been using Meguiar's products for years dating back back to the days of their yellow cleaner wax, which was like a slice of a thick candle, with no disappointments. Thank you for posting.
The spray-on wash-off method would have me wondering if I covered the entire area of the panel. 🧐
This...👆🙂
It’s made to spread. You don’t need to cover it all. You’d overapply it!
A couple of sprays on a panel, then make it dance with the power washer. It’s made to spread on its own!
I think for meguiars you can do first layer by hand as you did, rinse it off, mist another go from the sprayer only , and then rinse once again
The best application for Meg's ceramic wax is a dry application! Proven by many detailers. Btw Marcus (MK's Details & Deep Dives) from Meg's said that there is no wax in this product and we need water just to avoid streaking...
Nicely explained. A lot of thought and labor went into this presentation.
Maybe if you would do the whole panel dividing it into two, it would be easier to see the comparison of the two products. Merry Christmas!
True...mental note for the next comparison. Merry Christmas!!
I love the presentation of this video! Great job!
Thanks!
Merry Christmas Brian. Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos. You’re always balanced, fair, and objective in your presentations.
Thanks Robert!! Happy New Year!!
First at all, Merry Christmas to you Brian. You are a real gentleman. Second, Enigma wins hands down but Meguiar's is more practical.
Agreed! Merry Christmas!
Awesome video. Great information! Your channel is top shelf! Happy holidays!
Much appreciated! Happy holidays!
Merry Christmas Brian! Great work as always buddy.
Thanks! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas B! Thank you for another year of fantastic content!
Merry Christmas Wax!🎁
Awesome video Brian! Love your channel!
Thanks! Merry Christmas!
I prefer the enigma for application. Very interesting videos keep it up. I wish you and all your stuff a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.
I'm a Meguiar's hard core user, but in this particular case I will have to decide for the paste option. The reason being that in my location (King County, WA) it's prohibited to wash your car on the drive-way. I know it's so anti-American and stupid, but it is what it is. This is why I dry clean my cars in my garage and twice a year I go with the full deep cleaning (clay-bar) and that's when I deep seal my clear coat. Since I can't make a mess using water, this is my reason to do the paste... Thanks for the video; great work + I love the fact that you are almost as picky as I am. I'm a user, not a detailer and I do believe that nobody will love a car more than the owner. This being said, I believe you come the closest to "owner-standards". I would like to ask you a question: The paste comes in 33ml jars for about $30 and in 250ml jars for about $250; what is the usage per car? How many cars can be treated with the 33ml jar? Thanks in advance and have a good one!
Hi great videos thanks for your efforts producing these for our benefit. I like meguiars products especially their price points however i felt that the paste wax seemed to bead better at the end, although i did note that you did not follow the instruction for the first application of the meguiars which lays down a base coat, you should miss out step 4 the rinse and go straight to step 5 the towel dry! I would be interested in a video showing the difference between the 2 application methods of the meguiars?
Thanks Peter
I have not been back in some time but I have to tell you that you never disappoint. Angel wax products are always good IMO. But Megs has stepped up the game, as I do use a lot of Megs products. I will be trying out the Hybrid sometime soon. Thank you again Brian.
They are certainly making the attempt to please us detailers here of late.
I believe I would apply it differently, at least for the 1st time.. I spray on heavy initially while wet, then a microfiber is used to wipe the panel while the product is on to distribute evenly, then the panel is rinsed ( High Pressure), then dried. For maintenance applications, I would do what was basically shown in the video here. Overall, I think the Product is pretty good for the Price...some of these Ceramic coats are just preposterous in cost.
Additionally, your presentation was excellent.
Thanks - love your videos. Just got into detailing this year and have learned a lot !
Glad the vids help a bit!👍
Thanks for another great video! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well. Special request - I would like to see Angel Wax Enigma vs. Pinnacle Black Label Synergy Paste ceramic wax. I believe that would be a great battle as they appear to be the best in paste ceramic wax category. I am waiting on my enigma wax kit which is on back order. Thanks for your consideration.
I will try and make that happen! Merry Christmas!
Brian thanks for all you do, Merry Christmas to you!
Merry Christmas Greg!
I've had the Megs HCW on my truck for 6 months and now I can't get it off to apply CQUARTZ SiC. I 've hit it with Citrol, Super Clean, Purple Power V&B and Zep truck and trailer wash 13 - 14ph and Dawn Platinum 4x. Most of the truck is still beading but the top looks weak. I guess I'll have to try polishing it off with some TW One and Done I have.
Another great video Brian. You are the professor of detail! Almost 20K subs you are kicking butt.
Just getting started Toby!
Merry Christmas good friend and a true professional
Thanks Petr! Merry Christmas!
So as a total car wax newbie, I struggle seeing what good this did. The water looks the same in the squares as outside or what am I looking for?
I always prefer paste form, but if the price is right I will try it once. Have you tried Chemical Guys Swift Wipe Waterless Wash? I use it on my tool box at work, I personally love it. The sealant it leaves behind, is probably slick enough that I bet Bo Duke won't slide across the hood the General Lee again.
Brian, screw those who griping about your process. I appreciate the free education, after all I did pay 15,000 for the automotive technology course at Lincoln Tech. I am a trailer mechanic for a fleet and been doing it for 15 years and been great at doing it for the last 11 years. In those 15 years I have seen and done a lot of rework that the mr. know-it-alls fucked up. I really do like the way you break stuff down to explain the why and how it works. I use that same method when I train people, but I also kind of allow them to make some mistakes and I tell them about some of mine. which allows me to explain what they did wrong and to get them to think different.
didn't know u could get ceramics in paste form? the WAX title in these products i think is miss-leading as these are ceramics not waxes or possible a blend, i dunno why u would want to blend a wax into a decent ceramic though.
Happy Holidays Apex Detail🎁🤶❄🎄🎅
Merry Christmas!
Thanks for all the great vids 2018 and Happy holidays Brian!
Much more to come Patrick! Merry Christmas!
In a world of "DID YOU F'ING HEAR ME" My guy here is the "As per my last email"
Kudos to you and keep up the great videos!!
Merry Christmas 🎄 Excellent video as always ✊
Thanks Big D! Merry Christmas!
Thanks for your time b! Merry Christmas to you and your family
Much appreciated! Merry Christmas!
I would love to see Apex Detail do a head-to-head test of NuFinish (a silicon polymer cleaner wax), and any SiO2 sealant (such as DPC Armor and more expensive brands).
Whats the main selling point and benefit of Angelwax Enigma over other waxes let say the Collinite and wolfgang since price is so much higher? TIA
Hi Apex Detail i know im a few years late...'apologies' only just came across this. I realise uve stuck to the instructions with the Meguiars, no argument there, but, have you tried applying the Meg's to a dry pannel & letting it cure...just a thought
thanx for the clip
Did I miss final results and which one repelled water the best
I've been using CarPro Hrydro2 for a while and the way I like to apply it is.. I wet the panel with my hose then I give the panel a couple sprays with Hydro2 then I take a damp microfiber applicator and I spread it out to get even coverage and then I hose it off.. I found that is what works the best for me..
I completely agree with that application.
Just tried some Angelwax Enigma, and shine is great but after coming back to car 20 min later there is alot of haze left... Not sure if i didnt leave it long enough before removing or to heavy ??...
The meguiars is brand new. Only been available a few weeks. How have you seen it last 4 months?
Merry Christmas Brian :)
AS always great info !!!
Thanks! Merry Christmas!
Great vid Brian. Question; can I wax on top of this or would it be better to wax first and than seal on to of the wax?
I spray it with a power washer, and when doing so, I can just make the water/spray “dance” on the surface, prolonging contact. This seems better than the way you were spraying it off as you would when finding a panel of soap.
A power washer is ideal. but will all users of this product have one?
This is the best god damn channel ever.
Much appreciated Joey! Thanks for the kind words.
Dude that's not God's last name.
Hi Brian Thank you for the clip.
My Question is after applying the ceramic coating product if I want to wash the car after 2 x weeks wouldnt the ceramic coating clears off??!! Or stays on? Or It must be applied every time after wahing the car?
And Final Question: can I still polush the car every 2 weeks after wahing the car on top of ceramic coating? Please let me know. Thank you.
i prefer rubbing it in, somehow it feels like it bonds better that way.
I think both products has their merit. M is cheap, easy to use and because of that, to me it's doesn't take up hours of my life to simply wanting a good looking finish.
Gyeon Wet is probably the best in this class....spray and rinse.
Manufacturers use the term “wax” for people that are used to the term “wax” having meaning. HCW just like NXT “wax” contains no carnauba or montan wax. The new buzz words are ceramic and SiO2, similar to Teflon was used a few years ago. Remember Polycharging? Polymers are what are actually doing the heavy lifting in these products.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family as well
Thank You! Cheers!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family Brian. I think I will stay with my Angelwax products since I only do 2 cars. I noticed on the Meguiar's when you rinsed it off it seemed the bottom corners didn't get covered as well. The area where the product was sprayed instantly beaded. I like the smaller beading on the Angelwax side. Also the duration is better with the Angelwax. I know Angelwax is more expensive and if running a business the Meguiar's would be better cost wise. Thank you so much for this great video explaining how they work and for all the fantastic video's you have shared with all of us.
Merry Christmas...yeah..I agree with you.
What happens if this stuff touches glass while applying or rinsing???
From everything I've watched and heard about the Meguiar's Hybrid, it's perfectly fine for use on everything ... paint, glass trim, metal etc....
For use on all materials.
We love you and your work
It is a two way street...💯
@@apexdetail85 therefore you will do the video on. "as glossy as it gets" on a dark colored car... Sonax cutmax +SONAX perfect finish + CG gloSsworkz glaze + collinite 845 + show stopper QD... Or whatevsr you know glossses BEST
How about comparing these products to other wax products such as a mole or 100% carnauba or some of the other better products on the market? That would be a good test to see if these ceramic products are better than traditional products that we have used for years.
How about wetting the panel, spray it on, wipe with moist towel then powerwash for even coverage
As per Megs, you shouldn't use more than 3 or 4 trigger pulls for a full hood. Over-applying causes the product to not work well. It makes it hard to remove the surfactants and non-active ingredients. The pressure from the hose is designed to spread the product. So, basically, less is more. The first coat should be done on a slightly water-wet panel, and spread with a MF, drying it as you wipe it in. Once this base layer is applied, you can spray a second super fine mist of product on to a water-wet panel, and hose it off... Which spreads it. Then dry using your preferred method. You applied way to much product and it appears that there was still a huge amount of non-active ingredients still sitting on the panel.
Have you ever applied Meguiars to a boat? Will the Meguiars stop the oxidation and finally how long do you think it will last on a boat?
You applied the Mcguires wrong. The first application requires you to apply it on a wet surface and then dry it off. The next application you spray it on a wet, clean surface and then spray it off.
Hi brian! I would like to know in terms of gloss which one is glossier meguiars liquid ceramic wax or the hybrid ceramic wax?
Enigma QED i think is more comparable to hybrid ceramic wax. Good job on the video though :)
but QED is only for gloss right ?
Instead of massaging the product on could I just rub it on? It is just too stimulating
Gracias por tus videos Brian,Feliz Navidad ! Thank you for your video and Happy Holidays Brian.
Feliz Navidad!!
Sweet, thank you 😀 great vid comparison the meguiars reminds me of the prestone liquid wax (hard to find now days)
In your opinion what is the best bang for buck sealant, wax or coating? Love the vids btw.
Sealant = QP ON 2.0 Wax = Angelwax Enigma Coating = IGL Kenzo.
Merry Christmas to you B.
Omg, that candy analogy is moron proof.
Is that new shop?
New to me!😀 Merry Christmas!
I see you have a glassparency banner in the back. I'd love to see a video on that!
It is on the way!🙂
A couple of differences that I draw is price and who that price point is targeting. Also if one would look at the sds I would have to think that the Meguiars would have less of the "active " ingredient so they can offer at a lower price point.
I have been using Carpro Hydro2 for years and like the spray on wash off style for doing big jobs like RV's and do like the product as you do Brian for wheels. Quick spray during the rinse process of the wash. Pressure wash to activate and done.
CarPro or Gyeon Wet are both very impressive in this category.
Question, can you use it on the windows of the car? and how is the result`?
Merry Christmas Brian.
Merry Christmas Vince!!
Wow, what was wrong with your “drying” towel. Just moved the water around and didn’t seem to dry anything.
I grabbed the wrong towel...that one had a coating in it. headed for the trash.
Hi Brian, great video. Can Car Pro Elixir quick detail spray be used with the Angelwax Enigma wax if the Angelwax Enigma QED is not available? Thanks
My glass sometimes looks etched after I wash and want something that will help with that. Will the Meguiars work on glass? I already have a bottle but haven’t used it yet.
Paste would give a better bond right
i just bought some ice spraywax and it does make the paint really slick i want to try griots speed shine next and see how they compare
Ice is really not that bad!
I've just ordered the meguiars to try in my detailing business. But I do have some concerns about the spray on and then rinse off. It seems as if you just washed it away before it even gets started good. 🧐
It is my concern as well Bradley.
Hey Brian, have you ever tried Servfaces products? I would love to see you review some.
another great video again buddy. happy holidays 2 u as well good friend 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Enjoy a day of rest my friend!
You mention they are both carnauba waxes infused with nano ceramics but I can’t find any mention anywhere on them containing carnauba.
If it is not a Montan wax...it will be a variation of carnauba. If it was montan...extracted from brown coal...it would have a yellow ting, and be much more expensive.
Brian, quick question: What wool pads would you recommend for use on a 21mm DA? LC? Rupes? How about on an 8mm DA? Looking for one that would be best for a one pass on modern GM Clears with moderate defects, spider webbing and swirls.
Lake Country low lint lambs wool pads...FTW
Was not applied correctly as instructed by Meguiar's. There is a detailed insctruction behind the Meguiar's spray bottle for better and long lasting results.
Merry Christmas Brian
Merry Christmas Chris!
Is the meguiars ceramic wax sold at walmart yet ?
Brian, how does the Meguiars HCW compare to Manett's Show Shine?
Very clear explanation,
Thank you..
Good video Brian but surely Angelwax Enigma QD would have been a fairer comparison to the Megs Ceramic Spray Wax?
That one is a quick detailer as The Enigma wax is in the same family....both fun to play with.👍🙂
@@apexdetail85 Can't agree with that bud. You can't categorize a product purely on it's marketing name as it is way more than just a quick detailer.
Being a liquid it will be way more comparable to the Megs Ceramic Spray Wax, similar to something like Carpro Reload and Gyeon Wet Coat imo but comparing a watered down Si02 spray wax/sealant to a paste wax isn't really fair.
Unfortunately it is the way the marketing is heading these days though, no more can you assume a product with 'spray wax' in it's name is just that. Market is over-complicated and over saturated with products advertised as one thing but is actually another product completely.
Could you use the hybrid ceramic wax and bead maker together?
Happy holidays to everyone.
Be safe! Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas ! 🎄
Merry Christmas Sudsy!!!!
bruh...can i use this as a maintenance to my ceramic coat?
Merry Christmas 🎁 and thank you for the review.
Did you end up eating those jelly beans or gave them to a coworker 😂
I ate what was left in the bag!
Have you had an issue with the sprayer for the Meg's ceramic product? I ask because I wanted to try it on my wheels and it leaked all down the trigger.
I took the balance of the product and poured it into my empty bottle of 007 Gloss Enhancer with its GREAT sprayer.
Yes...it is just too thick. Cleaned the nozzle twice with hot water!
Awesome vid as well as amazing explanation ....KUDOS
Happy holidays Brian! Enigma for the paint...Meguiar’s or better yet Sonax Spray and Seal for the wheels! 😎👍🏽 2019
I will drink to that !! Cheers! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Brian!
Merry Christmas Robert!
Can you use this on a plasti dipped car that has glossifier on it???
Again if meguiars silica dioxide molecules will work only if the surface areas are prepared correctly and totally free of any contaminates, so that means polishing the surface to make it perfectly smooth and no swirl mark's IPA wipe down, then either use a Meguiars microfiber 6" Damp pad and spray a little on the damp pad to apply to each area of around 2FT SQ and then rinse it and wipe down or again polish the car and IPa wipe down and then simply spray the product directly to a wet surface and rinse with hi pressure water nozzle and then use a microfiber towel to dry it and the same can be done with your wheels, but again the cleaner the surface the better the bond no matter which brand or products used as a sealant? Looks like Meguiar's is trying to get into the PRO series of detailing products like CAR Pro and others, also noticed you did not mention what the cure time was for the angle max and how long is it till you did the test panel to show the difference, the spray silica dioxide meguiers products would be quicker, but again it all depends on what car you have and how much care you take with it ?
Your drying towel is not very absorbent. Did you wash your towels with fabric softener?
Also, I would prefer the paste wax for durability but I also prefer the spray on for quick and easy coating. So it could go either way, just depends on what my customer wants to spend. Merry Christmas!
I grabbed The wrong towel...that one has a coating in it. 😂
@@apexdetail85 amater
Great Video, We managed to visit the factory that make angelwax last week, Great place.
Great people as well!🙂
Where can anybody actually buy Angelwax products? Went in circles on their official site on finding a reseller.
Angel wax West Coast if you’re in the USA
I have Angelwax Enigma but I still prefer Angelwax The Fifth Element. Can't explain why but I just like it more.
R m do you see a different look?
@@genysmenrunner1677
I would say only slightly. Enigma is ever so slightly more glossy but The Fifth Element has a slightly deeper look.
R m I have to buy samples of both because I still haven’t see a difference in terms of looks of products. Thanks
And guardian! 💞
