Meguiars M888 Review: Is It Really That Good? [2024]

[@IamDetailedAF]

Lets all put credit where credit is due. The recording quality is on another level. The lighting is on point. BUT the content has ALWAYS been on the 🐐level. Watching your channel grow has been such a blast. Your vibe and mojo you carry on the channel is awesome. Thank you for creating an environment where its ok to KEEP IT REAL, where its not about the dollar, but rather the TRUTH. The network you are creating with all brands, combined with your personality is truly the CHEFS KISS. Keep it going! Fake Detailer FO LIFE!

[@Ecdetails]

Bro thank you so much for your kind words I’m grateful man I really mean that I read this comment like 5 times haha

[@BreezeMW]

36 minutes of pure knowledge, education and just straight up fun. You are one of the few that I can have a laugh with while watching KZbin videos and your way of interacting with whoever is on the other side of the camera in this video was seriously top notch. Thanks for the videos and just being you bro

[@Ecdetails]

Dang man thank you so much I appreciate you

[@MarkusKleis]

Glad you had a solid experience with M888, Eddie. FWIW, this coating was bench-marked exclusively against only top tier big brand certified installer professional coatings. Durability is in that realm as a result. The original intent was for this to require certification as well, but as you so aptly pointed out - the application is stupid easy and we felt it would be silly to require training. Also worth mentioning - you can go 24+ hours and still wipe a high spot off with this coating. It is VERY unique in that sense. If you have any other questions, feel free to ping me. -Markus Kleis aka MK, Meguiar's Portfolio Innovation Leader

[@CirclesAreRound]

@@MarkusKleis you ain’t lying, I applied the coating to the whole car first then I wiped it off 😭

[@Ecdetails]

It is a great coating , let me ask you this what’s the chemical makeup ? And the ph resistance of the coating. Thanks Markus!

Hey my guy, definitely appreciate this video. I been wondering how the M888 works and so far I’m looking to grab one. As for the window cleaner if you do a battle try adding superior product (clear view) to see how it stands with others you review 🙌🏽

[@JCoova87]

@@Ecdetails can’t wait for the breakdown & thanks for the update!

[@anthonys.976]

I coated my truck with M888 and love the how it looks. The gloss is banger! I would say it has a warm glow like carnauba wax. Very forgiving during application. The M799 bead booster is a must as it keeps the gloss going. I look forward to the updates of M888 and your impressions further down the road. All the best!

[@Ecdetails]

Thanks for the comment bro m888 was real impressive and thr gloss it gave was top notch how is it going with out the topper for you ?

[@anthonys.976]

@@Ecdetails Well the M799 topper went on two weeks after my first wash. For me, M799, is a gloss enhancer after each wash...about every other week. I view the M888 coating as a product helping the paint clean easier/faster so I can then apply more M799. What I enjoy about the M888 is its ability to fill in minor marks and "level" the paint if you will. I think this "leveling" is a major aspect missing in other coatings and has a direct link to appearance. I picked M888 knowing a simple polish was going to be all I needed, not a multi-step, hours long approach.

[@Gary_Rigs]

Thx for walking us through the struggle. We enjoyed the journey my man

888 self heals! Seriously it does. They don’t promote it that way but I have done it several times on micro scratches and it works

[@Ecdetails]

Imma have to see how that works didn’t know that , also wonder what the blend is

[@Greg_P611]

I did 2 layers 2 hours between coats. I’m not sure if that played a role in it, but I did some testing with it before I applied it, and I lightly scratched it then took a heat gun to it and it disappeared.

[@96spectyper]

Great educational video Eddie. 👍👌

[@Ecdetails]

Thanks bro

[@Shane9_9_00]

I dont play with a ton of glass cleaners personally but its fair to say ive tried a couple. I usually clean them like a window tinter so like with a squeegee and a towel. For a typical glass cleaner that works best with a rag I actually like the diy which caught me off guard when I tried it. Invisible glass in a can is definitely great as well and I always have it around.

[@Ecdetails]

Invisible glass is soo good , I was also told I used to much so we’ll keep testing lol

[@btbd2785]

You know Eddie if you ever in a situation like this where the clear is really think but you still want to sand. I would recommend using Eagle abreasives brand of sandpaper. In this case you could use Tolecut and Super Buflex. They cut better than your other brands , leave a better finish and remove way less clearcoat . As in 3 to 5 times less! I use it myself and will never go back to using the other brands Thanks

[@Ecdetails]

Do you have a link? Also have you used sunmight

[@SKEETERBURNS]

I was gifted this coating months back from my sister. Not gonna lie, I would not have purchased it for my own vehicle... at first. This coating has been on my F150 since March, and it has held up amazing! Water just falls off my truck.

[@natemarcy3939]

Thanks again for another killer video. As far as I'm concerned, Invisible glass is the OG glass cleaner that just works. I have never used any other glass cleaner in my life. My mom cleaned the house windows once a week in the 90's with that stuff. Beware that the aerosol foaming version you used is much better than the normal trigger sprayer version in my experience. Others may argue that. Maybe worth doing a comparison video on the aerosol foaming vs trigger sprayer versions to get your opinion. Can't say I have found that comparison video or even a short with the two.

So good bro I know I used to much but I didn’t know haha stuff cleans amazing I’m digging the aresol

On DEEP scratches, why not use the clear coat brush from a paint pen to fill the scratch, then once it dries wet sand it to blend it with the surrounding clear coat.

[@bobhawkins3387]

Eddie- those scratches don’t look any worse than some I’ve seen Yvan remediate using gold standard and pad with 5-5-5 method. What do you think? What I’d like to see in these correction videos is some data. Paint thickness and maybe even gloss meter before and after. I know you can see some difference with the eye, but what has really been done? And how much more could you do? Not picking this apart, just curious. Thanks for all your good work. Always enjoyable and informative BH

[@Ecdetails]

Hey bob These were finger nail deep it was pass the clear the goal here was to blend it in the light you can see it if up close 5-5-5 wouldn’t of done what sand paper did I took the hills abd valleys and knocked it down making it so when the light reflected you didn’t see the white For rids and such - I would do the 5-5-5 method. Also I did a paint gauge reading and sent it to the customer I’ll start adding those to the video to give you data On the side where I use a foam pad that a heavy compound and blue pad remove the clear coat scuff
