Meguiar's G210300 Hybrid Paint Coating. This Is My Experience With The Protectant!

[@apexdetail85]

Those that have applied this coating to their vehicle....share your experience! 🙂👍

[@pauls.4860]

Hey Brian, do you think a good topper to this to add gloss would be Phoenix E.O.D Titan?

[@Jeffro422]

Applied 1 layer at the beginning of November. Only washed a few times since because of east coast winter but I had a chance to wash it recently and it's still beading extremely well even down at the lower rockers. Hood looks like it's not beading as good as day one but still really well. Applied after a full decon and polish and have only washed with two bucket method since, no toppers.

[@el__2handed]

I've had this on one of our cars for 10 months now. I did notice some weakness on the roof and along lower portions behind the tires around the 8 month mark. I commented on Markus Kleis' (former product manager at Meguiar's) deep dive vide on HPC. He suggested using an iron remover or acid-based water spot remover in these areas to see if the hydrophobic properties of the coating comes back due to it being clogged. "If neither works, then simply wipe the area with M122 and re-apply to the full panels in question. It will bond where the coating is severely weakened or missing, and will wipe right off areas that are still strong."

[@MrCoachKelly]

I have applied it on multiple cars and seems to hold up for about 10 months. I live in South Ga

[@Panamera2014]

I picked up a bunch of this when it was on clearance for something like $10. Recently applied it to spouses black van. I am very impressed thus far. Extremely easy to apply and results in great shine with a super slick feel. I liked it enough that I applied it to my Porsche which I ceramic coated about a year ago. Applied it as a top coat on the existing ceramic which is still in great shape. Only prep I did was a good washing. Again, it really pops and gives a wet look shine. Don't know how long it will hold up, but it is so easy to use that no big deal if you have to reapply after a year. The advantage in it being in a spray can is that shelf life is not reduced by opening a bottle.

[@SittingWithDogs]

Hi Brian. We do about 20-30 of these a year. It’s our budget 1 year coating upgrade. It has exceeded all of our expectations up here in Michigan. So easy & tough as nails

[@danlc95]

I live in Rochster Hills, and I have this on mu best bro's truck. He runs it through the car wash where I used to work every other day or so and it still holds up. It's about as easy to use as Optimum Gloss Coat (the only coating I use), is super slick on wipe off, looks incredible, and is super durable.

[@dustin9967]

This is a fantastic product for the DIYer at home. I discovered this right at release and after speaking with one of the chemists at Meguiars about it, I was sold. I continue to use it. I treat my cars well, no automatic washes and use ph neutral soaps. The coating lasts well over a year when taken care of.

[@neilwalker5041]

I think this product is revolutionary with the aerosol spray and the ease of repairing high spots. The hydrophobic behavior is impressive and so is the chemical resistance torture test. The only negative is the lack of that candy gloss. For the battle of one year coatings this is a very impressive product. I currently am using beading express and wonder how these two products compare. There are two aspects their panel prep I really like. First is the price and second is the product will not swell the paint. Thank you for the video.

[@willsrestorations]

I've used it on a few customers vehicles and found it to be very adorable the only thing I didn't like was the gloss effect and that was easily fixed with the topper of liquid Crystal c2v3. And the results were quite impressive.

[@stevehinchey9013]

Applied this last July after a deacon and polish. As easy to apply as anything, I wiped off a high spot 2 days later as you said, in the sun. I've used wand wash with those nasty chemicals, some good waterless washes with Ethos Defy, and the car sat outside everyday. Some weakness on the hood now, but the car is still shiny and hydrophobic for the most part.

[@TheMrChaddles]

By far the best review of this product. It’s also blatantly obvious that you aren’t getting a kickback for it. That is very respectable in my book. Thanks!

[@proflex310]

Applied almost year ago and it still beads ! After 48 hours of application it gave me a boost from 87 to 95 GU. So far impressed with it.

[@apexdetail85]

Impressive!!

[@mdtony100]

Yea , I am surprised that neither you or Pan noticed boost in gloss, I have a black vw and tried so many products, this is vey close to P&S gloss detailer in terms of gloss, minus the dust attraction. This beads great and keeps the dust off . I use megs ceramic detailer every few weeks. Can't confirm durability since I had it for 2 months and the car is a garage kept

[@andresferrer7628]

Maybe 95 is the limit for the silicone coat? Brian's test panel was at about 95 GU after polishing

Did the Can Coat adhere well to the polysiloxane? I think I would apply them in the opposite order to get the slickness of the Meguiar's on top.

[@rover1374]

Great review and this impressed me. I was tossing up between this and CarPro Lite about a year ago but this wasn’t yet out in Australia. I knew it would be reasonably durable, but this outdid my expectations. Measurable thickness was also impressive. The lack of gloss boost is a bit weird. I wouldn’t bother with a product that needs this level of prep without added gloss or darkening features. I know the majority comes from your prep, but still expect a bit of a boost. Be interesting to see if this has a greater boost on less prepped paint with less gloss to begin with. Maybe this is the market Megs were going for, as a lot of ppl that go to the troubles of prepping to high gloss may not consider this in the first place. Meguairs make some great products and I’m interested to see where the brand goes next. Thanks again for the review.

[@apexdetail85]

I will measure gloss again once fully cured...maybe a change.

[@DarahB25G]

That looked really slick going on that black paint. This stuff retails for around $150 AUD so it did raise the question whether I should go for something more tried and proven in that price range like cquartz uk 3.0 or CSL but this can can do more than 1 car plus it would have a longer shelf life if not used straightaway which is a big plus. It goes on quite easy, buffs off well and the gloss is on another level. Can probably be topped with a sealant like P&S bead maker inbetween maintenance washes

[@nicorallysport]

For me, meguiar's hybrid paint coating + M799 pro hybrid ceramic bead booster, is an excellent combo!! 👍 👍 👍. For topper hybrid paint coating, the M799 is THE perfect product, but also for that maintenance. If you only have the consumer version meguiar's hybrid ceramic detailer this will do, but I prefer M799 which is more concentrated. But honestly, 2 coats of hybrid paint coating (1 coat/1h/1 coat), and 1 hour after the second coat M799 as a topper. The gloss is beautiful. Is the coating does not have to blush in the face of other coatings containing Sio2! It is very durable!!. I'm not a chemist, but I would have liked to know how the product can harden without Sio2?!. Just with polymers it's still impressive. It reminds me a bit of the M188 deep-crystal coating system. Which possessed cross-linking in a silicone resin product.

I always liked Pan’s videos but after seeing the one he did on Lake Country’s pad washer I unsubscribed.

I hate knowing that people new to detailing will probably see his channel before Apex, Car Craft, Forensics Detailing Channel etc.

[@derek723]

Your gloss meter even wanted to take off on you! LOL. Wow that's slick! Man...Meguiar's has SO much potential as a premium detailing brand. Their chemists have proven themselves time and time again with awesome products, but there's little things they do that are holding them back and it's so frustrating. The changes I dream of seeing one day: -Why still make M105? Just ditch it. The dusting is notorious and it's bad for the brand. You have M110 -While we're on the topic of polishes...stop penny pinching and use circular bottles with a self-cleaning cap like every major polish brand. They're more ergonomic -An all-purpose cleaner is the backbone of your chemical arsenal. There's so many effective APC's that don't make people feel like they're gagging on fumes. It's almost inexcusable to still have D101. Stinkin Chemical Guys sells their APC at $32/gallon while D101 is $18/gallon. How does Chemical Guys make a more premium product than Meguiar's? -Hyper Wash is arguably the best pure shampoo on the market for the money. $30/gallon for such a dilutable and effective shampoo is insane...but now make a premium offering. If CarPro can sell Reset for $90/gallon, there's a market for Meguiar's in the $50-$70/gallon range. Do everything you did with Hyper Wash but 1) make it less viscous so it's easier to handle 2) bring a premium scent 3) create a formula that can be combined with your APC so that it can turn into an active snow foam These seem like common sensical changes, which makes it frustrating. I always thought 3M would create their own "premium" detailing brand after buying Meg's back in 08'. 3M has the brand image, and a tasteful logo to pull it off. One can dream
