How to WAX your car and which WAX is the BEST WAX? - Detailing 101 Ep.6

[@golfboy83]

I just want to say how much i love this series. Having a beginner learning from a pro, asking questions and getting advice as they go is just great. Ive watched all these videos and have goten great tips even though ive detailed my own cars for 25 years...youre never too old to learn as ive never had to use a compound until a year or two ago when i first came across this series. Great work mates!

[@erikjensen6503]

Guys I love the series! Just what I needed to learn it all 101. I have been doing most of it wrong all my life and now that I own a nice ride I know how to take care of it! Keep up the great work!

Please put sound through right ear on next episode, my left loved it, my right ear is jealous

[@lancekidwell5729]

I had only my right ear piece in and thought, how could they release a vid w no sound ? 😂

[@fmjkevlar]

Dale is brilliant 👏 I love watching the enthusiasm towards his job. His clear explanation also gives me the idea he sees the effects of his work and method down to a micro level. Brilliant fella!

[@JohnPortmany]

Cheers guys. Finished my first major detail thanks to these vids and great products.

[@greyMDA]

i am definitely not new to detailing, using Meguiars and lots of other stuff - but these series are amazing and hands down my go-to videos for my friends who's into car-caring. keep going, amazing content!

[@meguiarsuk]

Awesome stuff!

[@way2fitTV]

This video serious is seriously good. been watching detailing vids all week, and I've learned so much from yours. Thank you!

[@bjornpahler108]

Thumbs up from Germany! I learnt such a lot from this series in the past few weeks...I have been using Meguiar's products in the 90s and early 2000s and I have just begun to put some more time into care care and detailing again. I was quite confused by the many different products on the market but the Meguiar's UK videos and also the short tutorials by Meguiar's Germany brought back my confidence that I chose the right brand. Thanks so much!

[@glynbradbury4616]

The ultimate paste wax, wow really fantastic gloss

[@owensteele1274]

A comparison test with the Mirror Bright Polishing Wax, Gold Class Carnauba Plus and NXT et al would be an interesting video. See what the differences are in terms of end results, water behaviour and durability.

[@fraforgt-350r2]

Yes

[@gambietti]

I prefer to hand wax. I also have used the meguairs ultimate compound/wax combo and topped it with beadmaker. It was a great set up for a super slick and glossy finish.

[@drnyanthein]

May I know the solution used in the final stage while wiping off the wax?

[@pixel8617]

my right ear wants to hear too

[@krayzieegg7294]

Could u do videos on the pro stuff please..would like to see the difference...and keep up the great videos

[@Chris-eo1bp]

Yeah it seems amateur ish

[@johnallen9567]

Great video. Mr. Miyagi couldn't have explained it better.

[@swift4311]

Can I use the was paste on buffer machine instead on hand?

[@soontirfel9219]

Absolutely! Just make sure you're using a soft/finishing pad designed for wax/sealant applications. Also, if you're using a DA polisher, you want to make sure it's on the lowest speed.

[@LukaszEMwaxholic]

Meguiar's Gold Class

[@vermontvermont9292]

Can you still get the NxT wax? I remember when that first came out. The campaign they had here in the states. I realized the other day I haven't seen it in stores for a long time now. I just use gold class paste.

[@williamgreen728]

You CAN apply a paste wax via machine,people have been doing so for decades.

[@emawolf7705]

How?

[@leeblanchard6434]

I've got a Ford Focus ST in stealth grey, which is factory colour & Soild paint. Which wax would you recommend and why. I like to apply by hand by the way.

[@kennethkines3747]

I really like your videos. They are very helpful, but what is the red pad did he use all the maroon pad that he use?

[@harrytilley4905]

Can you change the sound really distorting

[@SiyxmTTS]

Has anyone tried the ceramic wax on the soft foam pad on the da polisher?

[@cindybreazeale7212]

How do you get rid of mildew stains on white vehicle before waxing?

[@davey3765]

These video's have been invaluable. Ultimate Car Wax is really great but ive never buffed and polished before using it and didnt know there was a liquid. Im sold.

[@brianwalsh9672]

Hi there is there a difference in the meguiars pro 15 an the mt 320 professional i cen afford the pro 15 only

[@charlescox4213]

Instead of using Ultimate wax could I use Hybrid Ceramic Wax instead? I have the Ultimate Compound and Polish.

[@charlesm.9858]

Mahalo!!!😁🤙🏼🤙🏼 Love the insight!! And it’s very motivating!! Going out to buy those products now!!

[@haroonkhan8690]

Is wax applied via a dual action once it’s been compounded?

[@retro_rat90]

I clean my car every week, I also have a few cars I look after for others. I’ve still enjoyed watching the videos. I don’t have Meguiars stuff but I’d like to try a few so it was good to watch to see how they performed. Will be good to see more if you carry on with it.

[@nighthawkj30A4]

9:59 😂 “Don’t there’s no need”

[@zeus-io3hn]

what's is the diff between Meguiar's Mirror Bright Polishing Paste Wax Cream and Meguiar's G18211 Ultimate Paste Wax? which give a deeper and highest clarity gloss.

[@meguiarsuk]

The Ultimate paste wax is one of our flagship waxes. It gives the most gloss and great length of protection.

[@celticstephenhill]

Any specific preference for white pearl paint?

[@jasontotalwar]

so never done any of this before been told you cant wax anything plastic like bumpers etc is this true car in question is a bmw e46 330ci in black?

[@meguiarsuk]

If they are painted bumpers then yes you can. If they are exposed plastic then I'd suggest the ultimate black

[@Handle-business]

So I opted to get the liquid ultimate wax, I noticed it has a hand applicator in the box. How much do I need to apply to the hand applicator to do the whole front end?

[@meguiarsuk]

so on an average sized car we suggest a pound coin size will do half a bonnet.

[@lambbosbread123]

why did u apply a paste wax by hand then straight after use a liquid wax ?

[@carterbusby239]

lambbosbread I think just showing that it’s okay to use both. You don’t have to use both at a time.

[@flipperman71]

I'm in a wheelchair and my frame is powder coated what's the best thing to use to bring back the shine? The colour is Purple/Pink

[@meguiarsuk]

Ultimate Paste Wax

[@RobFromCanada]

Hi Lads! Just bought a new Dodge Challenger in Hellraisin (purple) and was wondering which paste wax you'd recommend for the colour. Thanks - appreciate your insight!

[@pugleyp354]

Do you have to leave the next gen 2.0 paste wax to cure.??? Could you do a vid on that wax please?

[@PsyChAoS_]

Can the waterless wax be used for just a wax aswell? I know dumb question

[@soontirfel9219]

It is best to use the waterless wax after you already have a good protection coat. It is designed to be used as a maintainer in between wax applications.

[@paul-fk7de]

Just a question when waxing is it always necessary to clay bar just unsure if give it a really good was then apply wax ??

[@soontirfel9219]

That really depends on the type of protection you're looking for. Ideally, if you're going to clay bar your vehicle, you would want to follow it up with a compound/polish and then wax the vehicle. If your paint is in great condition and little to no settlement build up exist, it is not necessary to clay bar before applying wax.

[@saulmtz7309]

[@meguiarsuk]

Washing machine no detergent.

[@brianwalsh9672]

Hi there can you clean your miro fiber clothes an pads if so how

[@soontirfel9219]

You can toss them in the washer.. Machine wash on cold. They can be tossed in the dryer with no heat or lowest heat setting, but air drying is the recommend.

[@andreiberty6418]

End of the line? What about nano protection or similar solutions for 1 - 3 years protection or even more?

[@ssdmcleod]

If you’ve waxed with gold class carnuba can you finish with the ceramic wax instead of the ultimate Detailer ?

[@meguiarsuk]

Absolutely! As the car would already be waxed you would simply spray on and rinse off.

[@MegaSahil05]

This was the video I was waiting for ! U did not mention about quick spray waxes ! Also how much time does they both last !

[@meguiarsuk]

Quik waxes are generally a top up of your previous wax. Usually lasting around 2 weeks.

[@maximolotov]

My liquid Turtle Wax went white when dried. Whole car looked like it has been plastered. Had a hard time wiping it all off, while pushing on tower really hard. P.S. I did put a lot on. Why is that chaps ?

[@AlexSennah]

Sounds like you put way too much on, if you put it on thick it won't cure properly and be an arse to take off. Don't worry we've all been there lol

[@willamos13]

Only just noticed the dent by the bmw badge

[@stevehoulihan726]

First time I've seen this video and I noticed it straight away!

[@CB-gg1sg]

If I apply a spray wax over a paste wax will it make it any more protected or am I just wasting product?

[@soontirfel9219]

Spray wax should not be applied to a waxed vehicle on the same day. However, if a week has gone by and maybe it rained or weather conditions were not favorable, a spray wax can be added after a wash to MAINTAIN the protection of the wax.

[@Happytruth]

After you’ve waxed it then the next time you wash it do you still need to use the usual products you use as I use the ceramic wax spray?

[@soontirfel9219]

After you have applied a good base layer of protection, spray wax's are great to maintain protection and prolong the life and need to apply another coating of protection.

[@Gus247365]

I've really enjoyed this series of videos - thank you!! I've done a fair amount of car-care over the years, and whilst, as stated, some of it will be known to those that aren't just starting out, I've still gained a good few tips (hash-tag polishing for example!) which are now part of my routine.... keep up the great work guys!!! :)

[@klaasbeunhaas5242]

You used ultimate Quick detailer after you finished can you also use Ultimate Quick Wax ? Its just to clean right and the more wax the more protection right ?

[@soontirfel9219]

You can use the Ultimate Quick wax, but it's designed as a maintainer. The layer of protection it will provide on a freshly waxed surface is minimal.

[@MoshHead616]

Hi, is possible to buff a paste wax with a dual action polisher? Some waxes are an absolute nightmare one they've hazed. Cheers

[@meguiarsuk]

A duel action polisher isn't designed to remove wax, all of the Meguiar's paste waxes with a thin coat applied to the surface should be easy to remove with a microfibre towel. The main benefit for having a DA Polisher is defect removal.

[@CosmicSeeker69]

@@meguiarsuk DUAL Action - you're not doing pistols at dawn, are you?!! 🤦‍♂ The PO even wrote it correctly in his comment.

[@forza223bowe5]

Which is the most premium car shampoo, the gold class or ultimate one?

[@meguiarsuk]

the most advanced is Ultimate as it contains dispersed wax within the shampoo.

[@starlynxavieltorres3601]

What time need let to cure the paste wax?

[@bogdan.r.s]

What about 3 in 1 wax?

[@bigbluezo6]

do you have to use a ipa after compounding when applying a wax or sealant

[@meguiarsuk]

You don't have to no. You can go from wiping off the compound with a microfibre towel straight into polishing or waxing.

[@paulvapes6921]

Anywhere in the uk you can get d302?

[@merclowco4737]

Is it safe for a recently painted car?

[@soontirfel9219]

Yes perfectly safe and encouraged to protect paint and maintain shine.

[@4RMS7TRONG]

My left ear subbed this.

[@rumelahmed4539]

Can you ceramic coat instead of waxing?

[@soontirfel9219]

Yes, in fact, it is not ideal to apply a ceramic coat after you have applied a wax. You can add a wax after you have done the ceramic coating, however, the ceramic coating offers a better protection that wax would.

[@samsman007]

I mistakenly bought the paste wax to use on my DA machine. How would I do that, without having to buy the liquid wax or doing it by hand?

[@meguiarsuk]

You can't use the paste wax with the machine. However if it's just the waxing process you are doing the paste wax is brilliant to use by hand.

[@kiwi49er]

Do yo do multiple coats of wax?

[@meguiarsuk]

Only one thin layer of wax.

[@chavez4ever111]

Nice one guys. Subscribed. 😁 Noob Question. How often we need to wax our car per month?

[@GillBearToe]

You could wax it every day if you'd like. It all depends on you and how much you drive it and where.

[@MrGJMarshall]

Could you also use the ceramic spray after the wax for extra protection or would that be overkill?

[@meguiarsuk]

You could however it would just mean rinsing the car off after getting it clean.

[@tyrone3261]

Brilliant

[@andreicoser6794]

What about coating?

[@oliy2543]

question: is there still a purpose for wax now that ceramic coating is available?

[@soontirfel9219]

Unless you're doing the job yourself, a good proper ceramic coating can cost thousands. Not everyone can afford to have a ceramic coat done. Waxing is a cheaper alternative and does not require professional knowledge to apply.

[@ruslanmagerramov7003]

Hey guys, i live in Germany and i have to say, that our German products are nothing in comparison to Meguairs products👌 And also i have to say that the ultimate paste wax is the best wax i ever used. Thank you for your produckts🤝

[@mydogskips2]

Have you tried Wolfgang products, I think they're German and are supposed to be pretty good, they have the price tag to suggest as much.

[@bambamty]

Would this still look decent on a red car? Im thinking after a glaze to give it the depth, then a synthetic wax for the shine and durability?

[@meguiarsuk]

We would suggest using the Gold Class wax for a red car. It would give it a real depth of gloss.

[@bambamty]

@@meguiarsuk Awesome thanks guys! I'll pick up some gold class! How do you recomend getting wax off plastic trim btw? Didnt notice when the car was clean, but a few weeks later it's becoem visible! Ive heard a pencil eraser works, then ill follow up with ultimate black!

[@meguiarsuk]

@@bambamty All of our products are plastic safe so you wont have any issue removing them. If you find previous hardened stains then we'd suggest Heavy Duty Multi-Purpose Cleaner sprayed directly onto a Microfibre Towel and gently wipe the plastics. Then Use the Ultimate Black.

[@bambamty]

@@meguiarsuk Thanks guys! IVe tested the ultimate black on a small patch and it looks SIICK, but the weather at weekend was too awful for a proper car clean! Yeah the wax is a different brand, carranuba creme! My own fault for getting it on the black! Ill get some of the heavy duty today! Thanks guys, much appreciated!

[@bambamty]

@@meguiarsuk Picked myself some gold class wax up today! Think it'll look great on the red paint after some glaze! I'll keep hold of the tin of ultimate i have, as i reckon the durability will be beneficial in the winter months!

[@GH3_Posh]

Thanks for the videos, I do enjoy these and "The Day in the Bay" stuff. I do have a question, why don't you panel wipe after polishing? Surely the wax won't bond to the polishing oils?

[@robertpolvani-jones7988]

It really wasn't weird of him to confirm that the pad came with the wax. Anyone that hasn't used your products before would not have know that. What was weird, was your reaction towards him.

[@richoftherodeo9847]

Great series of videos! How long does ultimate wax last?

[@meguiarsuk]

It depends on how much the car gets used. We see it lasting up to 12-14 weeks on a well looked after car.

[@CosmicSeeker69]

@@meguiarsuk with respect - that's a total contradiction of terms. Think about what you wrote.

Is it necessary to clay bar before, or is just a normal wash and dry alright ? 🧼

Suggest a spray that can be used after wax for mild cleaning, maintenance of shine and gloss and should protect the wax too.

Would you recommend this product on a white car?

Why not ceramic? What is the difference between wax and ceramic?

[@meguiarsuk]

The ceramic wax needs to be applied to a wet car. As we were in the bay having compounded and polished the car we went for the conventional wax approach. Detailing 101 on Hybrid Ceramic Wax is out next week!

[@2knives]

Would it be best to apply the Fast Finish paint sealant first, then the Ultimate Liquid Wax? And where does the new Hybrid Ceramic Wax fit into the overall process? Maintenance purposes? Or is this the ultimate Ultimate sealant/wax application? Great vids by the way! Love watching these.
