I did my Mini Cooper and it came out great! Nice to work with. I always wash and reuse my microfiber towels, why do you recommend not reusing the towel? Also, do you recommend cleaning the applicator after use? If so what should I use to clean it?
As with most coatings the towels should be disposed of after used as the coating will cure on the towels and you will not be able to adequately clean them. As far as the applicator pad it really is a one time use only but if you put it is a zip lock back with very little exposure to air/humidity it can last a while.
@@meguiars Thank you very much for responding and that makes total sense! I'll keep the towels and use them for real dirty jobs like cleaning inside the wheels well liners and engine compartment when I do a super clean on my Corvette and then I will throw them out.
Just bought mine, cant wait to apply it! Whats the recommended temperature for application? I dont have access to a climate controlled garage. Also, the end says do not use liquid wax products on top, what about your hybrid ceramic wax spray? Is that product ok to use on top? Thanks!!!
Our M888 is very forgiving and does not require a specific temperature range. It does require at least some humidity to fully cure in the recommended 7 days meaning you would not want to apply it in freezing temperatures with zero humidity.
I’ve applied the M888 to my car today, very easy to use and i hope it will last a long time. What would be the best product to wash my car now? I already bought the bead booster
Although built upon learnings from previous technology the formula is different than traditional SiO2 based products. It offers better durability, water beading, slickness & gloss than our previous coatings while containing 100% actives (no flashing off carries like other coatings or waxes). You should experience a very easy application with low risk of high spotting and easy wipe off.
Can I use Mequires Ceramic Detailer over the top of M888? Also, can I use Meguires "Wax as you dry" or M888? I like to use the "wax as you dry" after I was my car.
You would be best using the Hybrid Ceramic Detailer as it is not only a good spray detailer but will also help maintain protection and water beading on a coated vehicle. Technically the A1624 Quik Wax in the burgundy colored bottle is safe but keep in mind putting another wax on top of a coating could impact the water beading properties.
You really wouldn't want to do that because the Hybrid Ceramic Prep actually leaves some SiO2 protection behind and as you likely know coatings should be applied to a bare surface.
This is a new for 2024 product and has just started to hit the market. It is already available on Amazon (link below) and will be available soon at other online vendors. s.3m.com/6vw4fm23
Hello Meguiars, I already have the product but I have a question, my car is almost new, it has no scratches, I don't need to polish it, I think so, and I wash with Meguiars ceramic shampoo and then ceramic quick detailer. Should I remove those products from my paint before using m888? or if I can apply it like this?
When applying most coatings, including this one, you want the surface to be totally bare. That being the case using a ceramic wash or detailer beforehand would not be recommended but in theory, they will be removed when you follow the proper application steps outlined in this video.
Hello, sorry, I have another question. I already applied the m888. Can I continue using old products like waterless and hybrid ceramic detailer? no protection from m888? Because waterless is not ceramic, maybe the ceramic detailer could work but I'm not sure about that.
The Hybrid Ceramic line of products including the Hybrid Ceramic Detailer is exactly what we would recommend for maintenance after applying a coating. As far as the Ultimate Waterless Wash & Wax it is very much safe but keep in mind that using any other wax on top of a coating could impact the water-beading properties. Again, not necessarily harmful to the coating but something to be aware of.
They have to do with removing defects and creating the best clarity and gloss before applying the coating. Why put in all this time money and effort just to put a coating over a finish you are not happy with. You would simply be "sealing" in those defects as well as risking the coatings' effectiveness as it will bond better to a fully restored/prepped finish.
@@meguiarsi was wondering about this also. if the polishing stage includes using oils to give life to the paint, wouldn't the surface prep strip those oils?
As with anything longevity can vary quite a bit depending on a number of factors. That being said, on a well prepped and well maintained vehicle this can last 2 plus years.
@@meguiars wow haha that does suprise me, would there be any difference when it comes to how much pressure your applying as when your hand is inside there is obviously just the one layer of cloth compared to holding the mit on the outside?
Hate that junk Meguiars random orbital !!!! Had 2 of those junk things, and each one died after about a year...Junk... Only Meguiars can afford to use them... I just use my Makita 9227C for Years, and never have an issue...
I wouldn't encourage anyone to buy these products in England as there far too expensive along in conjunction with the poor inflated cost of lacking communication.The company must stop ripping people off like it goes unnoticed
The best car products ever produced.. 💕👍🏻😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for your kind words and support!
There are many brands that produce products that are better.
@@reefhogwhich ?
@@jeroeng3498 Carpro, NV, Shine Supply, P&S, DIY Detail, Bilt Hamber, Koch Chemie just to name a few.
@@reefhog maybe but not for the price performance seen on this product. If so they please share which ones?
Hope this comes down to Australia ❤

If you want a good straight car wash our Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner would be a good choice.
I know it can be used on non-painted surfaces but should you stay away from glass?
Hey guys! Excellent video as always. But why is it called "beyond" ceramic paint coating? Is it any different than a traditional ceramic coating?

@@meguiars so like the hybrid paint coating and the old m688, this is a polysiloxane coating?
@@meguiars no flashing off carriers?
@@orthodox1717Solvents.
It’s a sealant not a ceramic coating
Can I use Mequires Ceramic Detailer over the top of M888? Also, can I use Meguires "Wax as you dry" or M888? I like to use the "wax as you dry" after I was my car.

Just got 2 bottles one for my red 02gti and one for a black santecruze
❤️
Let us know what you think after trying it out.
Bro 1 bottle does 3 cars 😭
can the hybrid ceramic pre wax be used for minor paint correction before applying M888?
You really wouldn't want to do that because the Hybrid Ceramic Prep actually leaves some SiO2 protection behind and as you likely know coatings should be applied to a bare surface.
Release date and MSRP(USA)??
It recently began shipping and USA MSRP is $119.99.
@MarkusKleis is correct. Already available in the US via online vendors and will retail for around $120.
I don't see it available anywhere yet nor from Meguiar's website either.

Nice video.
Can this be applied to headlights to prevent yellowing?
Yes.
👌
Do you guys detail in San Diego??
We do not offer detailing services we create and sell the products to do it. 👍

Hello if I already applied another ceramic coating, can I install this on top, or I need to remove the last one?
As covered in the video, coatings need to be applied to a bare surface. 👍

Why is compounding and polishing needed if it's going to be removed with the prep stage?
They have to do with removing defects and creating the best clarity and gloss before applying the coating. Why put in all this time money and effort just to put a coating over a finish you are not happy with. You would simply be "sealing" in those defects as well as risking the coatings' effectiveness as it will bond better to a fully restored/prepped finish.
Thank you.@@meguiars
@@meguiarsi was wondering about this also. if the polishing stage includes using oils to give life to the paint, wouldn't the surface prep strip those oils?
Yes, but the effects of the polish have already done their job. The Surface Prep would simply be removing any excess oils, etc. on the surface.
Xq utilizaron un máquina de pulir de la marca 3m si se supone que este canal es de meguiars
Es una buena máquina y Meguiar's es una marca 3M.
How long this application will work?

Hello meguiars the name ceramic and product number please tank you
Sorry, not sure we understand your question.

#1 Stop going thru carwashes!
Why do people use a wash mit but not have there hand inside it like intended they just use it like a sponge 😂
Just a preference. We have taken polls to see how people use wash mitts and there are many people on both sides of the argument. 😀
@@meguiars wow haha that does suprise me, would there be any difference when it comes to how much pressure your applying as when your hand is inside there is obviously just the one layer of cloth compared to holding the mit on the outside?
That would vary quite a bit depending on the person.

You’re acting as if Meguiars has control of England’s government.
lol. You’re a joke.
