One common issue people tend to overlook with ceramic sprays is the potential for stains and water spots. I’ve tested both Turtle Wax and Meguiar's, and from my experience, Meguiar's offers better hydrophobic properties. However, with my black car in Sweden, summer weather can be unpredictable-rain followed by direct sunlight often leads to significant water spots. When I switched to Turtle Wax, I didn’t encounter water spots, although the hydrophobic properties were slightly less effective.

[@mrgold3591]

I've been using the Meguiars and like way you apply it to a wet vehicle. I can hand wash and rinse, pull into the garage, and spray one panel at a time with Meguiars and wipe with the wet applicator. I spray on panels, windows, plastic trim, and rims. Comes off very easy and buffs to a nice shine with a microfiber towel. It also restores slightly faded black plastic trim to a more darker color with hydrophobic properties.

[@anw9485]

Awesome review! Love how you left untreated areas and used different spray patterns to see how the product reacts to water.

[@TheCarDetailingChannel]

Thank you. I was trying to be as thorough as possible with these comparison videos. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.

[@farazmm10]

In my opinion there is lot more to test beside water beads. I think you should test the shine, finish, surface hardness, thickness of layer, lasting, versatility of various surfaces, dirt attraction against static charge etc.

[@gnicolae5849]

Just picked up some CMX three days ago. Waited the 24 hours and reapplied a second coat, at 48 hours stacked a third coat, and the results were very good. Highly recommend CMX and stacking after 24 hours.

[@sincerely_chris]

thx

[@jsmoker10]

I agree, I’ve used all three and the mothers is by far the best

[@urethrafranklin8224]

Did you store the car in a controlled environment, or leave it parked in the open, or drive it between coats? My car needs a full polish and wax and was curious how these conditions could affect multiple applications while on a tight budget of time. (Obviously driving between coats is far less than ideal: any expert’s experience, opinion, and knowledge would be greatly appreciated by this DIYer who’s pressed for time.

[@SushilKPingua]

I had applied Megs HCW a month back - the foundation coat of HCW in wet-wipe and buff mode. My car spent a whole day under the rain lately otherwise there's shaded parking for my car. Yesterday washed my car with ph-neutral shampoo and then applied HCW in spray and rinse mode over the wet car. The surface was repelling water like a lotus leaf after first wash. I had initially wished for the TW but purchased HCW because it was cheaper than TW.

[@elusivellama]

Here in Canada, the TW is $22 for 473ml. Meguiar's HCW is $20 for about 768ml, it's a no brainer to get the latter.

[@bwd1963]

I do have a question i have new 2022 car. What is a good prep for a new car that has only seen car washes .

[@jensz9360]

Definitely a bad chemical odor to the ceramic spray wax. It will get in your hair and if wind blows the wrong way or its a breeze in your nostrils. The wax itself works great, really makes car shine and hydrophobic more than any spray wax I have tried. I drove through heavy rain on open highway an when it stopped raining after about 40 miles and I stopped for gas the car was dried off and looked shiny still and didnt have any of that road dirt on it that you would usually expect after driving in rain. This definitely works, its just that it has an amonia-like chemical smell that stays in your nostrils and hair even after you shower , even if just a small amount of mist happens to blow your way. Definitely wear nitrile gloves when applying. I would like to kno wthe toxicity of this product if inhaled in small amounts (mist).

I use all these. Meguairs can streak easier but is more hydrophobic and can be applied wet. slightly. The turtle hybrid spray is easiest and actually my favourtie. The cmx is alongside autoglym is water i swear…cmx stinks and autoglym smells citrus but super weak. Turtle paste smells best with better gloss. Also comes with good pad. Meguairs wet wax the old school stuff is hard to beat for gloss though. Clay n polish is a bit of a waste for a spray ceramic… may aswell use a proper ceramic. Then use spray ceramic per wash after.

CMX does not last long.

The environment does not bombard any car/paintwork with clean water. The contaminants are often dirty and even oily in nature, which causes staining if not washed often. Hence, if you live up in the hills in Oregon, its very different vs the Ukraine, the Phillipines, Thailand, Mexico etc, where staining is a huge issue. Therefore, shooting clean water onto a clean treated surface is only pertinent to show its CLEAN water repellency behaviour…and nothing else. When it drizzles or rains, where tiny DIRTY droplets fall with hardly any force, there’ll be millions of dirty oily beads on your paintwork. Whats important is actually grime-repellency and resistance to stains because those 2 are the main reasons that compel owners to wash their cars. In the above aspect, only one of the above 3 products have a clear advantage (retaining less grime, creating less stains, easier to wash away the accumulated grime)
