Applying Meguiars ULTIMATE Ceramic Coating- Does It Live Up To The Hype??

[@60trickpa]

As long as people realize that this is not a long term coating. I think durability will depend on how the vehicle is maintained. Thanks Chelsea another great video

[@ericwright1075]

Please keep doing reviews on products like this. This is what regular everyday folks use. 🇨🇦👍👍

[@Guynhistruck]

Spoilers: No, no it does not. But it's damn good for an auto parts store ceramic. 👍

[@TheTom2video]

I prefer Turtle wax hybrid solutions ceramic spray coating. You can’t beat it for the price and excellent results.

Apex is continuing BC2. Brian said the warehouse got a little over zealous with the email. It’s just going to be restocked sporadically

awesome video.. I came across your channel today. I too am a megs fan.. I have been using their products for over 10 years, attended their TNOG in California and use their ceramic wax and detailer... I and goinig to buy this and try it on my vehicles.. maybe even my 2020 denim black Harley.

[@tadeloach22]

I looked at this and their m888 beyond ceramic coating. I ended up going woth the m888 because by the time you put in all the elbow grease to get this leveled and clear you might as well have coated it. The m888 has bot performed as i hoped it would, but i think i didnt apply it thick enough and also applied it to fast after my panel prep. With a topper it is doing fine though.

[@robm7076]

So sad their hybrid paint coating is being discontinued...that has held up really well. They say this is the replacement but i dont think so.

[@tyronejoihnson7046]

What charisma this reviewer has. I picked up Meguires and it rocks, had to subscribe to this channel!

[@Mogsy28uk]

bit like Infinity Wax's Synergy product in UK, very easy to apply and lasts at least 1yr, prefect for most diy detailers. They have now brought out newer, longer ones now.

[@johngriffiths3394]

Great video Chelsea - how about a comparison with Gyeon CanCoat EVO?? That's a brilliant product.

[@millerdetailing4176]

Great step by step video Chelsea appreciate the content.

[@coreyh4947]

I loved Hybrid Paint Coating and this looks like a nice follow up. Props to the owner of that amazing spec GFG Alltrack. Looks like it has Marrakesh interior as well. My winter is a Black Pearl with Marrakesh.

[@kimnewling5728]

Yes I want easy application and durability. I really like your video's, but I apologize, I don't use Meguiar's products anymore. I've moved on from them. The pro detailing product companies are creating such cool products that I use these and are actually fun to use. So thanks so much for video, keep up the good work.

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

No apology necessary! Thanks for watching and for your support

[@mikelayne4971]

I think we are looking for ease of application and durability.I like the price point and its ease of Availability over the counter . What I did not like was it appears to take little more effort to wipe and level but still did not seem bad. I would most likely give it a try specially with the customer who wants something for protecting their paint but can’t afford that long term coating! Awesome job love your vids very well done!!

[@danlc95]

I had no issue with the buffing. I worked it in, then buffed off. If you're used to being thorough, it shouldn't be noticable. Wiling off something like Ceramic Pro 8H will make you lose your fiath in ceramic coatings. Took me two days to coat a car.

[@seabreezeof]

What's your most reached for/used manufacture products from decon, upto polish and panel wipe (Superior, Koch- Chemie, etc, etc). Finish would be of course what customer is paying for. I'm with 60trickpa "As long as people realize that this is not a long term coating. I think durability will depend on how the vehicle is maintained." Always enjoy your videos.

[@morfdq]

Excellent video

[@kristofferpence]

Yeah I’ve heard iffy stuff on this. But I really hope they don’t get rid of the hybrid paint coating too. It’s just so good!

[@justinbelk89]

My 2023 Kia is a year old and paint is in great condition. I’ve used two waxes on my vehicle, but I’m skeptical about prepping my vehicle & the hole polishing thing. But I’m open to getting wipes to wipe down first.

[@carlhunsicker9585]

I'll keep using TW hybrid solutions ceramic coating. Almost half the cost and good durability.

[@jamesfitzpatrick229]

Thank you for this video! Detailing a truck this weekend for a coworker before it’s put up for sale… Going to try this product if I can get some in time. I think it’s perfect for this circumstance. Any chance you’ve seen or tried the Max Easy Triphene spray on coating I’m seeing all over TT? Would love to have your thoughts on it once you’ve given it a go! Thx. 😊

[@clints8888]

Hmmm 12 months no chance, seems like a pain to get on and not cheap as it’s 1/2 the size of most ceramic bottles

[@danlc95]

How could you possibly know this?

[@Hardcaslte]

How about McKees hydro graphene/ceramic? No prep, lasts as long as it claims... hard to go wrong with it.

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

That lasts 3-4 months from my testing and can leave spots on the glass and paint that need removing after (as most spray and rinse products do) so yes very easy but sometimes still requires effort to remove the spots and you go through that product a lot more vs this per vehicle

[@beijingbiden5931]

@attention to details can you reuse hybrid paint coating towels if you soak them right away? I've always tossed them.

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

Yes you can! They may be slightly hydrophobic but they can be reused several times if washed properly. Once they are stained with dirt, crunchy or shedding lint then they get demoted to interiors for me

[@robsx4280]

Will have to try this. I still have a bottle of Fast Finish and have been using the Ceramic Detailer recently which is also really good.

[@btbd2785]

Great video! Question, do you ever use a primer polish or promer before applying a sealant or ceramic coating. Like Gyeosm Prime or Labocosmetics Fiero, etc??

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

Not normally but will be soon with the c6 polish

[@jaimedpcaus1]

Very nice. Can it also go on the window glass? Thanks

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

Maguires does not recommend this to be used on glass

[@dustinbowers7602]

Can you do a second coat once the first has fully cured

[@justinbelk89]

Yes we would like to see a compo

[@alban9918]

Could you soak those ceramic towels in rinseless wash before putting them in the laundry?

[@josephonofrio7243]

Yes

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

Yes as long as it’s solvent based which most are

[@justinbelk89]

I’m looking for both.

[@atanasvelchev7149]

Second application after how long

[@PeterSichel92]

I thought you're only supposed to do two sprays per panel. Am I wrong?

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

It doesn’t apply it evenly with only 1-2 sprays I found

[@PeterSichel92]

​@@attention2detailswchelsea Ok thanks, good to know. Congratulations on your business.

[@timothyransom8510]

All those spray on ceramic only last about 3 to 6 months. The good stuff that you have to apply with a applicator will last years

[@Dee--Jay]

3-4 months later, you gonna be pissed because its weak or gone

[@brian2851]

Damp towel method? Is it damp with the product or damp with water?

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

Damp with water but barely any water

[@ToddLandholm-ch2ng]

Curious could you put it on with a polisher?

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

That’s an interesting theory… I haven’t tested that but it could help work it into the paint better. I just wonder if the pad would absorb too much of it and it would be harder to remove

[@ToddLandholm-ch2ng]

@@attention2detailswchelsea I would still spray it on the surface just use a waffle pad? Just a thought

[@julianmartinez6658]

I'm curious.

[@ericchacone3876]

With graphene coating coming out , ceramic is outdated now

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

Some don’t believe that graphene has any true benefits so it’s all in the eye of the consumer

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

First!!!!!

[@rommynine]

Not even close to real ceramic, even you did so good prep stage…

Both, for my clients this is a product that will give them the look they want at a price they can afford.

Yes I’m using Meguiars about 25 years! Nothing come close to!

[@davestewart9146]

Thanks Chelsea 👍😁

[@marklittleton1309]

Great review as always, Chelsea! Thanks for keeping it real. I'm not overly impressed with this product. For 6-12 months or durability, I think that's just too much "extra effort" - at least compared to some of the other spray sealants in this category. Definitely interested in any follow-up videos you do this one!

[@tucksmith8300]

Looks good Chelsea

[@robertthomson9340]

Hi Chelsea thanks for taking the time for another fine video there are many many products that you have tested on your channel that are easier to apply last close to as long or longer and are cheaper I don't think you were realizing that it cost about $20 per 8 ounces not 16 like most are packaged some even giving you 32 onces for around same price two that come to mind are Ceramic Gloss and Quick beads from DIY and how bout many Turtle Wax products especially their Flex Wax It may be an ok product but for the price and possible difficulty getting it off I personally don't feel its worth it just my two cents

[@clints8888]

great point

[@barrybij8079]

Ease of use, gloss, slickness. Durability is lower on my list

[@splendidsplinter739]

Great video as always, Chelsea!

[@johnmelling9950]

Ive tried dozens of these ceramic sprays as im sure you have. My honest opinion. They are all pretty similar. You get some that give slightly better gloss, durability or slickness but i never find theres night and day difference in any of them. My favourites at the moment are 3D GLW Ceramic Detailer (smells out of this world) and DIY Ceramic Gloss.

[@jamesdavies686]

No Griots 3 in 1 ceramic spray? It seems to win a lot of durability shootouts from other youtubers.

[@johnmelling9950]

@@jamesdavies686 Im in the UK. Griots is not easy to get over here.

[@jamesdavies686]

@@johnmelling9950 Gotcha, it's pretty popular over here and very durable for a spray wax

[@donnagallo-w9e]

Chelsea, great video. How would you compare this coating to Adams grapheme ceramic coating advanced? Not sure if you have tested the Adams coating.

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

I haven’t worked with Adam’s products so couldn’t say

[@charlesmitchell9647]

Definitely ease of application. This product seems okay and you were able to put it on pretty quick. But I am not sure this is one for me. I will stick with Vonixx Sinergy Paint Spray Coating which you recommended. Thank you for all that you do.

[@Detailpops]

Hey Chelsea! Do you have a main 5 or 5+ coating you usually use by now ? I know you were a big fan of mckees graphene. Loved the testing you did.

[@Hardcaslte]

Personally I've used the McKees graphene pro for the last 5 cars as a hobby detailer. It's like such an easy product to apply, and such a long lasting coating, also with crazy gloss... It's just so hard to go wrong with it, and you can usually get it on a sale for $180-200

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

My main one is the Mckees 37 Graphene but the Ethos Graphene v2 has been impressing me very much lately and I may be considering switching if testing goes well…

[@Detailpops]

@@attention2detailswchelseayeah I like the slickness from video on the ethos. I do like the chemical resistance from mckees though. I want longetivity more than anything. The slickness I can always add by stacking with their max.

[@ETPAK]

This is an excellent product. Very very slick. Water has no chance to stay on any surface. Now i found it difficult to level it..and this is how i found an easy solution. I use my DA with fine Microsoft pad. I use it to level it. But i do apply with hand first. For leveling, i use DA with very fine Microsoft pad. Works very well. Thanks for the video. I was able to do 7 mid-size cars with one bottle. Answer to your question, i am looking for very high gloss. And this product gave me this final kick.......very high gloss.

[@skipgumphrey9579]

I was indeed curious, but the initial application process and protection time means I’m still going to prefer the BC product line. The price is higher, but my sacrificial layer lasts as long as this product does so I’m okay with the price point…

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

BC2 was just discontinued though…

[@clints8888]

no it wasnt

[@muaddba]

I got a gallon of Bc3 on sale for $40-ish, granted it was a special sale, but I'd rather buy a gallon of that even at $75 than this if it truly only lasts 6 months. BC3 is so easy even if I have to apply it twice as much it seems worth it.

[@justinbelk89]

Both

[@paddyhumphrey406]

Does this product have a curing time .can you take it out in the rain or does it have to settle over nite 👍👍👍👍

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

They recommend 24 hrs before getting wet to get the best results

[@justinbelk89]

I don’t have the luxury of a garage, but I’ve seen the streaks. I’ve applied it twice so far and I’m liking it better than the last product I used. I’m getting better at applying it. I will apply a 3rd coat soon, and I’ll do the plastic trim & wheels at that time. Before winter sets, I’ll have 4 coats on my vehicle ensuring decent coverage and thickness. I may use a spin brush or buffer to remove the product to ensure I don’t miss any spots.

[@adrianlawrence7224]

Appreciate the info. But no way will I be in a hurry to use this product. It's issues, for me, are deal breakers. Shame because I cut my teeth on Meg products back in the day and I'll always be fond of them.

[@jamesp57867]

I'm just not a fan of anything from those big box stores. You get what you pay for. If you don't do the proper decon and prep it's not lasting long. What regular consumer is going to fool with all that? That's why we're in this business.

[@tripsingh3642]

Very nice review we dont have this product in the UK, I find America does have more product choice. With the spray trigger do you have to flush it out on some products the triggers crystallise will interesting to know so I know which bread of coating this may be on the market

[@TheZigzone]

A little bit too much work leveling for me, especially for the 6-12 months of durability.

[@justinbelk89]

What about Black paint from Kia

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

I have a video coming soon showing black Kia paint so stay tuned

[@justinbelk89]

[@attention2detailswchelsea]

Yes but you’re not going to see much difference in durability
