I stood there in the store with the liquid wax in one hand, spray in the other. I chose the liquid because it seemed the more traditional application of the two and I simply couldn't wrap my head around the bizzare idea of spraying ceramic wax over a wet surface. I wish i had seen your video beforehand. I'm really surprised how well the spray works! I'll definitely have to go back for the spray and try the layered effect. Thanks for testing this out for us!

[@davidmcpa]

I actually took out my phone and looked at another video that came to the same conclusion. And I 100% had the same thought you had. I bought spray, but haven’t used it just yet.

[@kevinroark5815]

Ikr I have been using the HCW spray wrong this entire time. I just didn't know if I could use it directly on dry surface

[@webhito]

What a treat! I just recently purchased these products to test them on my vehicles, Already started hoarding the detailer spray as they are in high demand and cheaper than the turtle wax ceramic alternatives. One thing though, I used to buy Meguiar's xpress wax and dilute it 1:1 with Meguiar's last touch, the hybrid detailer mixed with last touch leaves lots of streaking and almost feels greasy, ended up tossing that bottle. If you ever get your hands on the turtle was ceramic stuff, le us know which you think is best. Glad to see you are still safe and putting out these insanely high quality videos!

Wow this video came at the perfect time for me! You are the most complete detailing KZbin channel for sure! I ordered the Liquid Wax but I was worried about applying it after paint correction because I want to get my car wrapped soon so was worried about the vinyl adhesion to an Si02 sealant. So actually seeing it not being great at chemical resistance is exactly what I need because I can remove the sealant before wrapping easily!

The timing of this video could not be better. I have bought HCW and the detailer but I was thinking maybe I need the liquid wax too. But now I will stick with HCW and use it dry. Thank you! As alwas fantastic testing and informative vid.

[@HeavyProfessor]

I did a full stripping with meguiar's iron remover (it is alcohol-based, so I assume it removed any residual waxes). Then I used their clay bar and regular quick detailer to clay the paint. Then I did a paint correction with Meguiar's liquid compound and then ultimate polish using their dual-action polisher. Then I applied their ultimate liquid wax, which I believe is a sealent, using the DA polisher. Then I applied a coat of the hybrid ceramic liquid wax with the DA, letting it cure overnight. Then I applied two hand coatings of the hybrid ceramic liquid wax, letting each cure overnight before applying the next. And now, whenever I rinse my car with the power washer, I rinse, spray on a few sprays of the hybrid ceramic spray wax on each panel, and rinse again. Then dry with a microfiber drying towel. It seems this method has provided perpetual protection and insane hydrophobicity. It has been about three months, and their is no change at all to the water behavior or gloss level. Given your findings, when I have time, I will apply a coating of the hybrid ceramic spray by hand when the car is completely dry. I believe that will carry me through the winter. The winter road conditions in NY are very harsh--tons of salt, slush, a lot of rain also in the winters here. That will be the true test, as I will not be applying any fresh dry coats during the winter since it will be too cold, and I won't have time (have to work 70 hours per week and will not have any real free time during daylight hours). I checked with Meguiar's, and they say that the hybrid ceramic products can be used as top coats over their ultimate liquid wax and pretty much any other product. They recommended against using any other products on top of the hybrids, as well, stating it would disrupt the water behavior of the hybrids.

[@kevinroark5815]

Perfect, thanks for researching all that. I was confused. Can I use wax or polish after using Hybrid wax or do I have to use it before or not at all? I think your findings answer all that

[@roadstar499]

so lets say i do a paint correction on a car...using meguiars 105 compound to remove scratches ,,,then megs 205 polish.... which product (if you could only use one)would you choose for the final protection on your own car??? thanks

I really like your overlay and PIP information that helps clearly demonstrate what you and products are doing.👍🏼 First in class. The results are what I see on my current daily, except I switched out the Meg's liquid wax with Turtle's Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Polish and Wax applied with a DA Finishing Polish Foam pad. Topped this after 24 hours with dry application of Meg's HWC and then Meg's HCD 24hours again. Nice relaxed weekend job. It is performing so well I started feeling guilty snow foaming weekly as a waste of set up time and product. The late heavy rains are doing a self cleaning job. In all honesty, a standard garden hose nozzle rinse now, followed by a quick 2bucket Meg's Ultimate Wash and Wax weekly, with the HCD drying as an aid is giving stunning deep shine and visual protection. Brilliant for these cheaper OTC option products. Keep up your great tutorials.

The BEST breakdown comparison video I've seen so far. Bought a new Nissan 2023 and the detailer guy suggested Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax. Since my Nissan was paint sealed protected aready, I used the detalier for now. I used the spray wax on my 2011 Kia Sorento..... and the paint came back life for a twelve year old vehicle. I paid just under $30.00 (🇨🇦)each for both bottles. It's $15-$17 in the U.S. Crazy price difference from these to Australia. Cheers mate...

[@jakubhladil5340]

It might not be the best most effective product out there but the system works great together and is super easy to use. Just the green detailer spray can be used as a full way after wash. I covered it and it beads like crazy.

Meguiar's isn't as low cost as it used to be , once I finished all my old product in the garage , I will look for wax it for new products from your recommendation.

[@ambroseleung1222]

On a side note, turtle wax's hybrid spray sealant is still the most cost effective product I can find in normal retail stores. Although you will have to be aware don't leave it sitting for too long before wipe in down.

[@hitardo]

Meguiar's, in my country (Portugal), is very expensive. Even on Amazon (from Spain) it is expensive. Local retailers increase the price over Amazon on 20% - which is even more expensive. The brand which I found to be GREAT value for money is NextZett (formely EinsZett). But, they have not come out with a ceramic solution. GTechniq has some good products, as well as Yum Car Care. I have not tried anything from Bilt Hambert, but I am quite anxious to try it out. But Turtle Wax gets the cake. For value for money, the Turtle Wax 53142 Hybrid Dry & Shine (Rinse Wax) is the best one I have ever tried. Simple application: just spray it, and rinse over. The shine is great, and the slickness is very good. The price is just awesome! The Turtle Wax 53139 Hybrid Sealant Spray (Hydrophobic Wax) is also very good, and with an acceptable price. I personally got average results, but I admit my paint was not fully ready to take the product. The Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Line (both the Turtle Wax 53342 Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wax Spray, and Turtle Wax 53339 Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wet Spray) is a little more expensive - but acceptable. The Black focused ones are VERY expensive, in my opinion - but maybe it is because they are quite recent. I bought the two Ceramic ones, but have not tested them.

[@DavidC1]

Sandro do you dilute your Car Pro Elixsier? I live in South Florida-always hot and humid, and i think the concentration out of the bottle neat is just too strong....i added about 1.5cups/ or something like half a quart of water to the bottle and it works just fantastic now with no smearing what so ever and i ever use it as a drying aid now which is fantastic...previously i could never use it as a drying aid because it would smear a lot, probably due to the very humid environment here...anyways just curious if you diluted Elixsier at all?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

No I don’t dilute it, but it sounds like it works really well in your case and could be a good way to go in more extreme environments

[@derek723]

Great video. One thing to mention - after you spray the APC, it's a good practice to wash the panel with soap after to remove residue. Not doing this has thrown off the results of previous tests for other review channels

[@Zeek800]

The key feature with the Mequires products is how easy they are to apply. I can’t comment on durability because I have only just started using the Hybrid Spray Ceramic. In the few weeks I would have to compare it against the other product I have used on one of our vehicles. The Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic was applied last Summer. I prepared the vehicle’s surface by spray foaming it, then clay barring it, followed by a wash, then a compound then polishing and a coat of lightly applied TW Hybrid Ceramic. 24 hours later I rinsed off 5he vehicle ( it hadn’t been driven and was under a carport ) to remove any dust and applied a 2nd coating. With a simple foaming a wash and dry, the vehicle looked great until I reapplied it he TW again this Spring following 5he same procedures. Lots of work but amazing results. The rain beaded amazingly for over 8 months. The shine didn’t diminish much if at all ( it still looked better after the winter than the vehicle looked without the TW step in the past. I’d have to say the Mequires Hybrid Ceramic spray looks pretty much as good as the TW ( 2-3 weeks so far ) and after an overnight rain and driving 50-80 km/hr. the water beads just slid easily off the body panels. I have two coats of the Megs Spray, the 1st applied semi dry and 5he second applied after a wash and rinse but rubbed onto the surface, rinsed and then dried. It’s late July so we’ll see how it holds up this winter. I will reapply again every other wash just because it’s so quick and easy. By the way you posted the prices, in Australian dollars??? Here in Canada, I paid $18 for the Meg. Hybrid ceramic spray. You guys are getting ripped off! I don’t think the Canadian dollar is any higher than the Aussie buck.

[@Mustang00007]

Only just found your channel here in Adelaide. When the ceramic spray thought and still think it is the best on my Stang.

[@DavidC1]

my favorite is Car Pro Hydro o2, you only need a cap full in a spray bottle! works great!

[@ianm432]

I wasn't sure where the other two fell in the product line. I use the blue bottle as a top up after washing. After a hand wash and rinse I walk around the car and put a single spray into the pressure washer stream per area/large panel. Then walk back around to rinse from top down. The initial dry application has a huge effect on appearance. I like it because it's just so easy to top up and takes so little actual product to get the job done.

[@pgill2682]

Great review Sandro! Seems like initial dry layer really impacts the longevity and bonding of the product. Meg's is quite a bit cheaper in the states as it is produced here and easily attainable. Also I was going to ask can you do a detailed review video showing all the shinemate polishers from 21mm to 12mm mini , maybe comparing user experience as well. Thank you

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

Hi Sandro. I have used the liquid form (not the spray wax) to test it on my new car which I bought on 12/27/2019. I prepared it with proper decontamination of the paint and expected it to last several months, at least 3, and it only lasted halfway even after following their instructions. Then, I purchased Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic and even after we had in the island the highest Saharian dust record of 305 when the highest recorded was several years ago of 154, I still haven't washed it for 6 months and still can feel the protection and gloss is also still seen because the rain has washed away dirt and dust and still beads like crazy. I was very disappointed with this Meguiars since I use a lot Meguiars D106, D116 and D143 with my customers, besides some of their polish and compound products because they are very accessible in price, available in most vehicle stores and perform very well. Thanks for your review. Xoxo from Puerto Rico 👍🇵🇷

I tried to get off glasses Hybrid Ceramic wax. I used 1L alcohol bottle to get that off 🤣 for durability, I can say that Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax is tough 🤣

[@jackdawson3276]

Key is frequency. I am not going to apply liquid wax every time I wash. However, I WILL use the spray and rinse technique every single time I wash. I do agree, you should apply the first coat of the hybrid spray wax on a dry car. I used a damp towel then buff with a dry one. I apply the spray hybrid wax on a dry car every 6 months as a refresher. Maguiars says its critical to do the rinse application or at least rinse the car again after a dry application. Reason is the carrying agents are hydrophilic and need to be rinsed away. I wash my car every 2 weeks in the summer and once a month in the winter (since its garaged more) The performance of the product is amazing since its so so so easy to apply it very often. So in closing, apply the spray in a dry car once every 6 months and use the spray and rinse technique everytime you wash!

[@MasterBasser]

this is the same exact experience i had using these products. i could have saved a lot of time if i had just seen this video first. Always buying the hybrid ceramic wax (blue). seems to need reapplication about once a month I wash every 2 weeks or so with a foam cannon and meguiar's hyper wash (red). Dont even bother with the ceramic detailer (green), best I can tell its gone after the first rain storm.

Sandro is the best in this class as usual. Would be nice to see a test for CSL and shinee wax from TAC system if you can get your hands on it.

megs hcw spray is the best product out right now. I do recommend two to three base coats of the liquid version first on top of ultimate liquid wax sealent. Then spray and rinse with the hcw at each wash. Makes true touchless wash possible without needing any soap. no degredation of gloss or water behavior after 4 months...still perfect. megs did a fantastic job. However, I dont really like the detailer. I find it leaves streaks. I may not be applying it properly, not sure.

[@alenb2197]

Hi, can you please tell me from your experience or opinion, how will this 3 products work or do on gelcoat, on white or colored saltwater boats (which have be normal polished and waxed before- a old school way). Have and Would you do it on a boat or do you know somebody who have done it? Reason is to avoid classic waxing the boat minimum 4 times per year and do it with this product 2 time per year (before and after the boating season ). I can't find anywhere who has do it on boats and how, and how long does is worth? I am thankful in forward for any information ...........

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I really have no experience trying them on a boat, the gel coat won’t be an issue, but the salt water for extended periods will be the real test. The prep work before applying them is going to be really important, so you will have a far better and lasting result if the boat is given a thorough decontamination wash and the gel coat is polished before hand (just the one time) and also given a good IPA (isopropyl alcohol) wipe down immediately before you apply them. Personally I’d also suggest just doing two coats of the Hybrid Ceramic Liquid wax rather than layering all three, as the HCW is really the product of the three that is going to have the best durability and longevity chance.

[@jva1896]

Love the review sandro as always. I have been using hybrid ceramix wax for roughly 8 months on 2 vehicles (mine and my partners). After many applications i found that applying onto dry paint was definatly the best option. As it would last longer than just spraying onto wet paint and wiping it off. I find though when the time comes to wash both cars (usually about 2-3 weeks) the hydrophobic properties are almost completely gone. Untill i do the recomended spray on and rinse off at the end of my wash, then they come back. As of my last wash i did a complete decontamination of my partners car and a re application onto dry paint. Then i topped it with the ceramic detailer. I found that this time around when i washed the car today it still had 70-80% of the hydrophobic properties still present which i was pleased with. I just find that by itself the hybrid ceramic wax for an every day driven car that doesnt get much cover and is 90% exposed to the elements the real world resistance isnt much chop.

Excellent review. I love the ceramic spray wax too, will invest into the ceramic quick detailed for top up cleans. Currently using a quick detailed that takes me 10 minutes to clean car, makes sense to use the ceramic version to maintain the ceramic like finish with investing 30 minutes into applying the liquid spray

The only thing that bothers me about these products is that I've heard countless people tell me their car is "ceramic coated" when they use these products. Like, is it actually "ceramic coated"? To me, it downplays the superiority of a real ceramic coating applied after a paint correction. Anyone else hear this and what do you think?

Yes, the real issue is that there is no real standard as to what brands can call or claim about products and no real repercussions to misleading information, but it’s a tricky thing to regulate.

[@reggie178965]

Superb thank you for such great objective video. As a consumer this is very informative.

[@gimax4689]

Would you recommend applying 2 coats of the Meg's Hybrid Spray wax ( 24 hours gap) for better protection ? I ve seen Turtle Wax recommending two coats for their hybrid spray wax. Thank you !

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Yes absolutely, a second layer should help improve durability, looks and overall performance.

[@lalotowers7160]

Hi Sandro, can you make a review of the Extreme Top Coat Sealant with Carnauba by the CG? Wud be much appreciated. Cheers!

[@flemmingjensen3202]

I can: It looks allright, gives some gloss, is decent to apply and remove and lasts around three months. That said, many SiO2 spray sealants seem to perform better and are easier to use.

[@wolfgangbru5935]

Very helpful video! Thank you!

[@Thankful_n_Grateful]

I think the purpose for applying the Spray Wax to wet car, then rimsing is for speed, less effort, less time & convenience... May Cost a bit more in product, if apply / liberally apply more of the Spray wax before rinsing, but speed, less time & less effort & convenience is worth it...

[@mikeypotts4732]

If you were to apply the HCW spray on your own car dry, would you immediately wipe off after working the product in the paint or wait a few minutes? Love your videos! Thanks,

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Immediately wipe it off.

nice to hear from Australia and sandro i have only the liquid wax the sio2 detailer oe ceramic detailer and wax not yet have t used the wax,. when you show the slickness wowwwwww mannnn was slick even slicker as some ceramic coating

Thanx. This is the 'best' critique & test of Meguiars ceramic range - excellent

[@1980Aioria]

Hi, does it make any significant difference in gloss and repellency if I apply two layers of Meguiar's liquid hybrid ceramic wax? Thank you

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

The first layer is what always creates the best bond and performance, a second layer will usually just improved on it but not do quite as much as the primary layer.

[@pureroyalities]

Very thorough testing and insightful. Thank you kindly for sharing this with us 🙏😎

[@Minwol]

How much does each product last? Will the liquid wax have many more applications than the spray wax? That might swing the value of them

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I think you’d be using a similar amount with both.

[@Belgarion115]

Hmm... Is that a mk1 Audi TT hood with Misano Red paint I see?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

It was a while back but by memory it was an Audi hood I got from a wreckers but I don’t think it was a TT

[@Belgarion115]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Well it looks very similar. :) Btw, your videos on Hybrid Ceramic Wax are what convinced me to use that product. Highly informative and enjoyable to watch. In fact, I just told my brother to buy the same product and to watch your video for proper application technique. Thanks for making it!

[@gajjarhb]

Great 👍 thanks for your efforts i found meguiar's m27 is same as Hybrid Ceramic wax dry application and top up with hybrid ceramic spray wax as spray and rinsed applications. durability is more than 3 months. But still looking ultimate slick product which is value for money and great slickness atlas last one or two wash I am trying to get Ethos wax and D3FY if you have access please review Thanks for your time, investment and effort 👍

I have 2024 Car that is 3 weeks new... The car has been washed, clayed, polished & waxed... The car is not ceramic coated.. Could You Suggest What Product(s) i Could Use To Wash The Car With To Get Best Results When Applying Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax Spray ( G190526 )? Thank You?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

A pure car wash with no unnecessary additives is best, a few of good ones are Carper Reset, Shine Supply Shift Soap and Nv Snow

[@Thankful_n_Grateful]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thanks

[@FakeJeep]

Actually had my fake jeep detailed recently and the detailer said the "use with water" is just their way of selling more product. He recommended like you to apply dry and buff out, although he complained it streaks a lot until fully dry. imgur.com/a/KzKkwyx I like the stuff, but it's only noticeable on clean paint. If you paint needs polishing then you will not be able to see any of it at work.

[@HeavyProfessor]

Very true. I applied the liquid wax to my car after full prep and paint correction with iron remover, clay, and compound and polish. Still perfect after several months. I tested the liquid ceramic wax on my moms car with just clay, no correction. Didn't even last a few days.

[@DavidC1]

Can you test your Meguiers Blue ceramic spray wax, i just used a brand new bottle that is 2 years old and it went completely dead.....i couldnt belive it....i shook the hell out of it and even put it in warm water then shook the hell out of it...totally dead! shocking becuase it was a great buy....wonder if i got scammed.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I actually had some out of an old bottle on a test panel this week and it seemed to be working and behaving as normal.

[@scottburgess2263]

I guess regarding value, NV lustre seems to be the much better product over HCW, but you can often find meg's products at around 25-40% discount whereas sales at Waxxit are rare.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

They have quite a few sales though out the year, by memory they had a 20% off store wide financial year sale last month.

[@cube1us]

I wonder if the issue with putting the spray variant on a dry surface is, or could be, increased risk of creating more small imperfections in the paint, causing Maguires to recommend against doing it that way.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Although I did experience or see that, it could certainly be another consideration

[@sheepstardetail]

Great video Sandro, but in my testing HCLW actually has better real world durability. When you put down the spray bottle and start putting up the miles, you'll see a lot of the "chemical resistant" products are actually not as durable as some products that normally fail those tests. I have a video on my channel showing how HCLW compares to Seal N Shine after 2.5 months through spring and summer, and even weaker products like CMX stood up better than some other products that win chemical test challenges.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Yes there is always variables to consider but you also have to accept that how you personally applying it and where and how you’re cars are maintained is going to vary compared to almost everyone else. So no one test or experience with a product is ever definitive, but I appreciate you sharing you’re experience with it.

[@sheepstardetail]

Car Craft Auto Detailing My point is that it almost never rains carpet multi x, otherwise I’d put out a bucket.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Yes I understand, and my point is that no one is going to replicate you’re specific method, environment and circumstances either. Every product on the market (or at least the good ones) use some form of resistance testing to predict durability and other characteristics, and although no method is perfect all my testing has shown that the products that do hold up better in my tests also last longer on my and my customers cars in real world testing - that’s my correlation and rational which has been quite consistent.

[@sheepstardetail]

Car Craft Auto Detailing I understand why people use chemicals, and I commend you and waxmode for using consistent testing between products. However, I’ve tested multiple products at once on the same car in the same weather and the ones that fail under normal, reasonable chemical testing lasts longer than the kings of chemical resistance. It’s quite clear that companies are now using chemical testing in their product development because most modern products like HCW and even the detailer have excellent resistance. It’s a tangible selling point or demonstration for a company and something most of KZbin watchers are expecting a product to do well in those tests. Again not saying your tests or videos are invalid or not appreciated, the exact opposite. I just want to say that when you do chemical testing it’s only relevant for chemical resistance, not real world durability.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I’d always encourage people go by their own testing and experience with products when making a judgement, because their results are going to differ to others. Just read a few comments on almost any video I’ve made and you’ll see that one person had great performance and durability out of the same product that someone else had poor performance and durability, which is all specific to their own real world performance on their own cars, in their own environment with their own specific prep and application. I believe you when you say that you’re testing has shown that products with superior chemical resistance have had poorer real world durability, but that just couldn’t be more different than my personal experience which has shown a very strong correlation between the two. I appreciate the good civil debate and you make some good valid points, I just think we have two very different experiences which is also fine!

[@XBOW83]

I used hcw spray and rince after primary apply and secondly i used quick detailler in dry aid. Good results but iam asking if Gyeon wet coat or fireball easy coat extra should better. Hcw and quick detailler seems to works together very well

[@flemmingjensen3202]

Gyeon WetCoat lasts 2-3 months, is easier to work with and you use way less product. 2-3 sprays per panel and no foundation layer needed. I've used it for a few years.

[@nicorallysport]

HCW "spray" in dry application 💪💪💪. And HCD very good sacrificial layer for coatings !. Superb review my friend 👌 In your opinion, what are their degrees of contact angle? I would say between 105 and 110 !?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks, I’d say HCW spray wax is really up there and potentially in that realm

[@seethruhead7119]

I tried the Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax last month and applied it wrong (too much) Didn't look great. Then I removed it and used the LCW and loved the ease of application. I just laid down a coat by itself. Today I did the first maintenance wash over it and then "refreshed" it with the HCW (spray off method) followed by a top coat of Quick detailer. I'm really liking the ease of use of this layering method. Remains to be seen how often I'll have to strip and lay down a fresh base coat though.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Yes, the LCW is really nice to use and I think if you stay on top of it and don’t mind roping and replying it, it could be a good way to go.

[@1965ewb]

Nice Video Sandro, I have all three of these products plus the M27 Pro Ceramic Sealant. I'am currently stacking M27 Pro Ceramic Sealant as the base and then i top that with the Ceramic liquid wax. I use the ceramic detailer for maintenance and drying aid works really well a little bit goes a long ways as far as the detailer goes. I put it on at the end of may and still have incredible beading. i use the the HCW spray to boost after about 3 months. As i said it has worked really well so far. The M27 Sealant is really easy use nice smell too.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks, and it sounds like M27 is working really well for you in combination with these others, thanks for sharing it!
