Your videos are great mate, so informative about all the ranges of detailing ins and outs. You're the go to for reviews and information around detailing.

[@DavidStillman78]

Thanks for continuing to supply us with new interesting content. Always enjoy your videos, one of the few detailers who's opinion I trust.

[@ajr5195]

Your videos are always great... content is straight and to the factual point. Well done sir... I’ll keep watching every video!

[@stefanedmeades4298]

Been wanting to try this product for a while now and thanks to your review I’m gonna get some. Have been using the old liquid wax and that has impressed me so looking forward to the HCD. Great video 👍👍

[@ninetres187]

I use it a drying aid on my coated cars. Love it. Smells great. Adds lubricity under the drying towel. Easily Buffs off streak free without residue (common in many other drying aids), and doesn’t reduce the coatings hydrophobic performance.

[@SolidestSnake]

Great vid Jon, looking forward to the ceramic detailer comparison test! Or even just the Meguiars line up to show which is best. I love the new Hybrid Ceramic Detailer, in my opinion it's in my top 3 alongside AutoGlanz Prizm and Bouncer's Done & Dusted Si Edition. All 3 boost gloss, add an incredible slickness, create amazing water behaviour and are fairly durable and chemically resistant. The HCD wowed me more than the HCW.

[@matthewamos327]

Really enjoyed the review. I’ve been using this for the last 8 months or so and I’m loving it. The thing I really like is that for light dirt build up, it really helps when it comes to the next wash. I’ve noticed that when it comes to the pre wash stages I can get rid of noticeably more surface dirt before I actually have to put a hand on the car. The fact that it makes the paintwork look great is a bonus for me (for context, I’m driving a BMW F11 530d that was previously owned by Enterprise so the paintwork is a patchwork quilt of questionable spray jobs) meguiars hybrid ceramic detailer does a great job of hiding a lot of the horror!

[@iMANC1966]

Great video Jon. I've recently purchased the Meguiars hybrid ceramic liquid wax and their quick detailer featured in your video. The hybrid ceramic liquid wax gave excellent results but was streaky until I sprayed a non meguiars quick detailer over it and buffed it. I've not used the Meguiars quick detailer yet but they look like great products.

[@ranger2316]

Well done! Thank you for putting this together. I'm on board!

[@jonandlisa2000]

Thanks for the review Jon, been thinking about trying this for a while and managed to get a bottle with discount code for £15.50 delivered 😲

[@paulborg9609]

Jon, great review, thanks. What I found great as a 'water spot remover' is Optimum MDR. This actually removes any minerals in the spot, that won't resurface then hand polish.

[@stompsr140]

Just bought some today . Another good video car looks amazing

I think I may well add it to my Meguiars regime. Cheers fella. 👍👍🇬🇧👍👍

Hi John good video keep up the good work cheers 👍

[@x8dudtrackdaytoy]

Used double speed for the first time past weekend, had the same haziness when I looked over the car the following day

[@mikedagneau1315]

I've used the Turtlewax quick detailer ceramic wax on my wife's vehicle, it was as you said, good flashing plus durability and a nice shine.

[@helipeek2736]

“Bloomin’ waxes” an utterance that can be heard every time I step back to admire my handy work of a weekend morn.

[@blondestreak9772]

Brilliant Chanel you have taught me so much already 👌🏻 could you do a review of the Dunkin Biscuit detail range have seen people advertising their stuff on social media but doubt it can hold its own against some leading brands 👍🏻👍🏻

[@WaxMode]

Appreciate your thoughts on this one Jon! I've been loving HCD, I'd have to say this is my favorite of the products released this year. Just an overall great balance of ease of use, great smell, good price, good slickness, very impressive short term hydrophobics kind of like what we see out of Gyeon Cure and CarPro Reload when they're fresh, but not at all overly smeary and uneven like Reload can be in some situations. It's a perfect maintenance topper for those high hydrophobic waxes/sealants/coatings, especially for Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax which can die down quite a bit after a month or so on the paint. This is exactly what I was looking for from one of the consumer brands that I can just run off to the local parts store and snag some up in a pinch. Really complements Meguiar's Hybrid lineup, I can have fun using the wet application method with HCW, or when it's too hot out I can do a dry application of HCD.

[@ForensicDetailing]

that ease of use is important isnt it kyle, Ive got no complaints with this stuff so far does everything megs say on the label and the price is kind of ok with SI02 products. my problem is generally these SI02 products are all a bit pricey. I like the fact I can fire and forget with this stuff and use a lot and it will buff out well. So yer I think megs seem to generaly do a good job with application of their products (HCW aside). cheers buddy.

[@soapa4279]

WaxMode I’ve watched way too many of your videos because I read that entire comment in your speech. 😂

[@SilverShamrock71]

@@ForensicDetailing John, can this be cut with Sonax 50/50?

[@jamesmann664]

Great video as always Jon! Quick question for you on this one, is this product still ok for cars without a ceramic coating and are just hand polished and waxed, or would you recommend something else for those cars? Cheers!

[@rgsaxo]

Nice review I recently tried aldi xs wash and wax. However I washed the car first and used it as a quick detailer. Very surprised. Easy to use, car is beading plenty and left a nice shine. Great at 2.99

[@BionicRusty]

God that is so shiny. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Great camera work too mate. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@steverabbits]

From this video it sounds to me that Koch Chemie FSE followed by the Meguires Hybrid si02 detail spray could be an awesome combo. Certainly when I used the FSE on my son's black X5 the results were amazing, I can only imagine a good si02 instant detailer product on top would be nothing but great news!

[@davemassa3560]

Look forward to seeing the comparison. Thanks Jon, you always help me justify my car product habits to my wife 😂

[@charlesbardforth6738]

HCD is my favourite product. Great gloss. Great water behaviour. Really nice topper and never streaks

[@EpicDreamerz]

Cracking video as usual! I know you loved Infinity wax Rapid Detailer, you should try their Synergy QD or their QDX, durability and beading are next level, gloss is insane and ease of use is top notch

[@craigh9112]

I might try this to use on top of MCW , have you ever tested meg’s xpress wax ? I use that and find it so good on all surfaces !

[@marinusdekker6707]

Great vid jon. Wat do you think about Angelwax ?

[@hartleytaslim3957]

Agreed with you, Meg's products are relatively easy and fun to use.. smells good too.. the Pop up result is also a plus point.. but yes, the durability is not so great, but enough

[@krasnaludek298]

I typically use Griot’s Garage spray detailer, but was eye balling this ceramic product ... looks like a winner! 👍🏻

[@cameronstevenson5894]

That car is so glossy love it

[@barrybij8079]

I've used the Megs HCD and really liked it too. My favorite all-time wax is the Megs Ultimate Liquid..I'm sure there are better products but just like it and go back to it again

[@petethompson1282]

Im a NXT fan, it has so much filler, great for my daily driver, i just get annoyed with all the waxes getting in panel seams, so choose spray waxes over traditional pastes now

[@Spatticus]

The finish on the red BMW is outstanding. You should really do a pan around of that thing in the day light and show it off more. Maybe in differnt light conditions. Red always looks fantastic. It looks to have had plenty of time spent on it for sure👌 Great video as always 👍

[@RM-iu6mm]

The only down side I can see to sio2 detail sprays is that they often mess up microfibre towels if you don’t wash them right away. Sometimes it’s handy having a detailer that you can use a quick spray of and not worry about doing a washing load.

[@apostolosts7196]

Great videos! Very helpful! I would like to ask... On a brand new black car (skoda karoq) what topper you would suggest to go above gyeon's can coat? I am looking for gloss , slickness and to be hydrophobic... i don't care too much about durability. Could that do the job? I am also looking on car pro Elixir. Unfortunately here in Greece i don't have access to many brands .... Thanks anyway!

[@paulbare6371]

good job thank you for the info

[@556suppressor]

Just bought this product today. Will try it tomorrow for the first time on a blue Subaru Ascent.

[@davidjob6881]

I used the Bilt Hamber finis wax on the wife's dark blue fiesta. Did that in March and it's still working a treat. The Meguiars ceramic on my white CHR and my daughter's Ka. I've topped it off a couple of times and it works fine.

[@Quagmire925]

Your really in touch with your feminine side driving a CHR. 😂

[@lawrencegatt4515]

Love your videos from Australia 🇦🇺 .

[@Audittr2108]

I like this style of video where it’s just real world use and opinions. It’s nice to get gloss readings and technical data but this is good too.

[@ForensicDetailing]

thanks chris, yer we will defo sort of benchmark it with proper testing later down the line but this is kind of a first look at it for me and I was interested it what it was like to spread and buff and it passed that test.

[@david123campbell]

Hi John, will you be doing a review of the Hybrid Liquid Ceramic Wax? I just purchased it and very impressed by it.

[@ForensicDetailing]

can do although general rule is if it has water and wax the durability is compramised by the emulsifiers. Thats the comparmise with a true liquid wax. dont know its applicable to the Megs product because some are called liquid waxes but they dont contain wax or wax.

[@blackdove6713]

@@ForensicDetailing everything i've seen shows the hybrid ceramic spray to be better and its what i've switched to using on all our cars. i've developed a technique for using it after the initial application that involves using a $2 hose end shutoff valve which provides the perfect spray angle and pressure for distributing the wax over the car. It also allows for a gentle solid stream of water to rinse off the beaded water droplets using the water's cohesion. I've actually been using a $2 plastic ball valve as my "nozzle" for washing and detailing my cars for 20 years. Its my detailing secret weapon.

[@Bobafixit]

John have you ever tried any DoDo juice products ?

[@RayNLA]

I use the detail spray and I love it!

[@JWL-UK]

Hey Jon, when is that new video on Bouncer's Done and Dusted Si Edition coming out? Looking forward to seeing an update gloss reading, durability. I've been using it for over a year and I think it adds the most value to the car in the SiO2 quick detailer category.

[@ForensicDetailing]

i need to set to work on the detailer comparison. I have sort of 3 others Im working on as well right now but I will start work on the next detail spray comparison hopefully within a few weeks.

[@petef717]

I'm interested in the watering down of the Ceramic Wax, any chance of a quick video on this?

[@Saamm193]

I’m a big fan of Megs products but yet to try this one, looks good from the review though. What do you find better as a water spot remover between Koch FSE and Gyeon water spot?

[@roadhouseguy]

What’s your recommendation for drying aid to go on top of wax in the SiO2 era of products? I don’t see SiO2 being super durable as a need. If you’re topping it it at every wash a non ceramic would work just as well. I still use BeadMaker, TW Wet Wax or Optimum Car Wax spray. I gather enough used towels before washing them, so I worry that SiO2 sitting in the towel for days might disrupt its absorbency permanently.

[@gordyl9247]

I use the 🐢 wax version on my works VW T6 which you've reviewed with great results especially noticed by colleagues, It just stays cleaner/shiny longer. Btw Jon. I'm not a builder, but why did you not insulate and sheet in the roof of your workshop during the layout change. Less dust and more light, just asking notice it every episode???

[@nicksdragon6929]

I'm a big fan of Si02 products. And I'm not surprised at all, at how well Meguiars did. As a matter of fact it's exactly what I expected, excellence.

[@Rubbernut]

Just bought a meguires Mt320 and looking at giving my car a full going over, always used autoglym hd, but have run out now, and torn between buying some autoglym UHD wax, or going down the meguires liquid ceramic wax, any advice would be appreciated

[@aceshouse9116]

Hey John I have Gtechniq ceramic coating on my and its now due maintenance. After examining the paint work recently, I noticed some yellow specs scattered on my white paintwork. Do you know what this is and the safest way to remove it without stripping off my ceramic coating? Thanks

Hey, review of Autofinesse Lavish Ceramic snow foam please?? Trying to figure out the best spray 'ceramic' and deciding between that, megs or the turtle wax you reviewed!

I would not bother with ceramic infused shampoos mate honestly. all good brands you have there but this genre of product generally is a big nono for me.

[@SUPERSID1968]

What cloths did you use ? I thought you raved about the eagle edgeless 500 ? ?

Hi m8.. have you tried the Autoclym detailing spray yet..? If so what do you think of it. Thanks.

[@hakman239]

I got blooming with it all the time no matter what weather conditions

[@martycumming8497]

Have you tried any of bear car care products?

[@vvk_gfan4308]

may be HCW and HCD are combination products, maybe we can maintain that coat with the detailer and can extend the life of coat a little further and also add more gloss. I'm getting fantastic results with HCW after correct application, so far happy with the hybrid ceramic range. keep the comparison video coming ...... great video and thanks.

[@bertowulf]

What towels are you using for buffing?

[@benhatcher3017]

Could you include Prizm if you do the comparisons?

[@joeydny5816]

What microfiber rag are you using in the video?

[@supervitz7178]

Blooming! Wow! So that's what that is!!! I learn so much from this channel, I've been inspecting my cars thoroughly after waxing because I assumed this blooming thing was just a patch that I hadn't buffed off properly! My question is, does using that product mean you've left an SIO2 top coat on the Bolt Hamber wax? Is that "allowed"? Sorry if it's a silly question.

[@ForensicDetailing]

SI02 spray seem to work ok on most waxes. but if you get like problems spreading and buffing on a wax, when its worked differently on bare paint, then sometimes that can be a compatibility issue.

[@liamcarter2364]

Would this quick detailer megs ceramic detailer ok to use between washes on a coated vehicle (ceramic) ?

[@mikedagneau1315]

I really like your Flex polisher rack. Do you have a set of plans for it or did you purchase it?

[@ForensicDetailing]

hey Mike I made it. If you search you tube for "ACME 2000 Forensic Machine Polisher Holder " you can see a video on it. Its just MDF and aluminium sheet plate. cost about 50 quid to make.

[@nicorallysport]

HCD is great! 👍 👍 👍 And as a "top coat" on HCW it is even better!, An incredible water-repellent effect 💦 Even for the maintenance of a ceramic, for example CQuartz lite it is great. It is an excellent care product for protection

[@Mogsy28uk]

agreed HCD working well for me, along with TW Hybrid Sealant Wax. After having used HCD on my Outback recently, first time I;ve had bird bombs just slide off!

[@dielaughing73]

Yes I used it on my ceramic after running out of the Gtechniq product. It is a lot cheaper (like less than half the price) and seems just as good. Paint looks ace, and durability isn't an issue because it's going to be applied after each wash. I have absolutely no idea if it actually 'adds to the existing ceramic layer' as the Gtechniq Liquid Crystal claims to, but I never really believed that anyway.

[@hakman239]

What abou hybrid ceramic wax at 5:1 or 4:1 on a dry car as a qd

[@craig1519]

Nice review I tried the product and wouldn’t use ceramic spray because of its knowing health problems with some products but found this detailing spray impressive I used it on regular bases on and compared to Bowdens own and some turtle wax products it doesn’t s attract as much dust as many products I have used and tested this product gives impressive finish with out the dust attraction of Meguires ultimate product which work well in Australian conditions. Water beading very good without the dust magnetic properties of wax sprays. Very interested in your Reviews great work thanks.

[@T.Mitcbree]

I like these newer Hybrid Ceramics sprays as they seem easy to use and flexible. I'm topping off some old school paste Carnauba wax finishes with Ceramic Detailers (discussed and 🐢), just as weekly drying aids and getting decent depth and shine results. Beading has been phenomenal 💎💎💎. How would you go if you did similar over your Ultimate Spray Wax I wonder. Anyway - keep asking the questions on these products. Cheers 🇦🇺

[@DavidC1]

i deal with these max humidity condititions everyday ! :) really have to be concious of not using too much product and also buff an hour after just to tidy it up again.

[@viso0125]

What was the wet product on the cloth after you sprayed the wing ?

[@billl8530]

Grerat review. One thing with all Meguiars detailers are that they flash very quickly and you can use them in the sun or shade.Always leaving the paint slick to touch. I believe Turtle Wax has taken cues from Meguiars the last couple years with their Hybrid line which is excellent and probably the best bang for your buck for the over the counter consumer line products and rival some of the higher end brands. Now we have the graphene craze which I'm experimenting with different brands..

[@ForensicDetailing]

its a really great allrounder this meguiars products. its made it to my shelf which is hard to do consider I get through millions of products.

[@rizwanchoonara977]

Would it work with Seal and Shine?

[@owensteele1274]

Wow, that was great value for a Meguiars Si02 product in a big bottle. Jon, I've subscribed and been following your channel since about 2018. What's the difference between Forensic Detailing Channel and newer Forensic Unplugged? I've enjoyed both.

[@owensteele1274]

Oh, and the M140 is quite nice too.

[@GainingDespair]

Would it make sense to use this as like a monthly topper or just reapply the spray ceramic on the car? Figure both take the same amount of time, not really sure if it's worth while applying a spray detailer to boost hydrophobic if I could just put down another lite coating of spray ceramic in the same amount of time. I've been using this with Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions spray and it's a little odd, not immediately but after a week or two the combination of both seems to cause more of a fast sheeting action.

[@leontowns9231]

Have used Bh double speed wax on three cars now and luckily haven’t seen any blooming, does it effect protection and durability ? Looking forward to the test, saw it in the group a huge fan of the Tac systems shinee wax the gloss and colour enhancement is outstanding.

[@ForensicDetailing]

no its just like more solvent vaping out and coming to the surface and it has a wetting effect on the top layer of wax, I actually think its moisture sticking to the solvents as they vape out. but its bloody annoying.

[@mariospanna8389]

Great Video again Jon, i'm having problems with hard water marks on my M3 e92 coupe. I'm going to try white vinegar and distilled water 50/50 next but im guessing i really need to polish it out?

[@ForensicDetailing]

get some koch FSE. It can be possible that you can like cocooned your water spots underneath protective products. you can sort of lock them in. generalyl speaking though mario polishing is not a good way to remove water spots. some people think it is because if the water spot is buried underneath a wax or something,, the non abrasive water spot removers can have trouble removing them.. problem with abrading water spots off is you dont remove them you hide them and they can come back. if you car is covered in water spots.. do this. But some Garage therapy /decon wash. prewash car with it. Then contact wash car with it. then dry.. then use Koch FSE on it. then next time you wash it a week later put some protection back on it like a wax.

Not a surprise, another great review John. Are you using the creature cloths to apply and buff the product ?

Keep up the great work, I'm now hiding the recipes, from my Wife, of all the great products that you are twisting my arm to purchase

[@ForensicDetailing]

the grey cloths are direct from manufacturer you cant buy them. for waterless wash I recomend cheap open pile. minx would be great. or in2details 350yellows (1.95 each when you buy ten) has to be cheap cloth if its for waterless wash its gonna get ruined.

[@Katie-if3lr]

@@ForensicDetailing Thank you for replying John, is this because the cloths are picking up dirt with the ONR when rinse less washing ? and this will not come out when washing.

[@jensmuller9493]

My car is a glacier-white Audi RS3 Limousine, bought it in Germany used but in excellent condition. Painting looks good, too but could surely need a polish after 2 ½ years now. So I bought the "Sonax Hybrid (Si02) wax & polish 2" and will use a "Koch Chemie Nano Magic" Shampoo (wash + seal function) every week and periodically also the "Gyeon wet coat".... So I need a Detailer mostly for in-between cleaning of dust/streaks or that misty blooming that was on the roof of your car in the video.... Which Detailer would you recommend? The Meguiars Quick Ceramic Detailer or something else (like Bouncers D&D) or probably a dilluted Optimum ONR...? Thanks for your help!

[@ForensicDetailing]

have sone fun.. try a few SI02 like megs ceramic, bouncers SI. I use BH QD at 10:1 because its a tiny fraction of the cost. I like tac systems shinee wax too as a great alrounder. I like trying new ones but there is no magic. dont forget to have koch chemie FSE for water spots.

I'm having Gtechniq CSU and 2x EXO applied very soon. Although it should just need a blast of water, what detailing spray would you recommend for use on ceramic? Something I can use once a week when not near a hose and can't keep my hands off the car!

yes in summer I find myself reaching for FSE more and more as a QD cleaner upper. Simple because I dont find other products or QD's effective against like the little spots of water or soap spots that you can see on the car. FSE eats them up and leaves me a clean panel. sometimes with other QDs Im trying to tidy the panel up and remove the little footprints but they just dont do it. A bit like in this video. I will do this walkthrough soon Tom.. cheers mate.

Dose the bilt hamber detail spray remove the blooming caused from the wax?

[@ForensicDetailing]

yes, even water will or just a wet cloth and a dry one.. but detail sprays work well.

[@Mububban23]

Do you only use this dry, or can it be used after a rinse/foam/wash/rinse as a drying aid to "top up" HCW protection?

[@ForensicDetailing]

I think it works better dry but I have used it as a drying aid.

Are there any products that sheet rather than bead? I have an issue on a red car after rain and the car is sat outside, the sun bakes down on the beads which can remain on the paint for hours and causes bad water spotting. Some of them are etched into the paint and cannot be removed with Koch chemie fse.

very few products truely sheet. true sheeting comes from hydrophillic properties and virtually no products do this now. products which claim sheeting are usually hydrophobic but just not extremely hydrophobic. My tip for you is to try acrylic products. So check out the Carlack 68 sealant and Carlack Detail spray. Or Sonus acrylic products. These might helps. acrliyc has very little to no hydrophobicity so you do get a more true sheeting product.

Hi John, so can you apply ceramic coating over wax then? I thought it was one or the other?

[@ForensicDetailing]

yo ryan this is like a water base SI02 ceramic spray.. its so different to a true ceramic coating really. thats why I think some parts of the industry dont like the way brands are marketting these products. Specially the coating centred brands. true ceramic needs to go on bare preps panel (or silice primer prep'd panel). Si02 water based spray can go on anything really as long as its degreased.

Forensic Detailing Channel right I see, so you could say it give extra protection then on top of the wax! I have noticed blooming on my car so looking into the best way to get rid of it
