Mother's 05764 Ultimate Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax! VERSUS Meguiar's Ceramic Spray Wax!

[@apexdetail85]

What do you think....Mothers or Meguiars?

[@raflinaldo9267]

Meguairs 👍😊

[@archiepezek]

I think the additional gloss of the Meguiar's wins me over. I'm not worried about chemical resistance because I like to apply a new layer of sealant every few washes.

[@mingoreyes1]

Mothers

[@MyGuyKirby]

I use the Meguiars for wheels but the darkening by Mother’s is interesting. Do you know if the Mothers traditional wax products have that same effect?

[@404notfound.....]

Definitely meguiars! 🏆👍🇨🇦

[@betametabravo3547]

I would pick Mothers for durability and slickness.

[@TheMirageowner]

First off, thank you for this comprehensive review. I cannot imagine how much time it takes to do this while running an active detail shop. I do appreciate the mix of OTC products and more boutique products that you review.

[@apexdetail85]

These vids are a pleasure to make for you all....enjoy!

[@holybusiness9624]

Does anyone get happy like me when Brian pulls out the white board and compares detailing products? 😂😂😂💯🎯

[@HuskyBeardO]

I agree 💯

[@countofmontecristo8493]

Hi bot

[@mikea5205]

I miss the rankings white board. "GET IT NOW!" lol

[@thomasdeluca754]

Forget the important stuff, just product reviews!😉😁

[@djr3485]

My vote goes to Mothers for its great protection and durability. This is much more a consideration on a daily driver than any of the other parameters for me. It also clearly richened the color much more than megs.

[@HantsLeo]

I applied the Meguairs to a dry car, wiped over with a damp microfibre then buffed with a dry microfibre, the gloss was great but it wasn't that slick. I was disappointed by the durability. Sure the Mothers may last longer but I want gloss too!!! As a side note, a 50/50 mix of the Meguairs and Seal and Shine gave great durability and gloss.

[@chrish8229]

I do mix my spray products also seal and shine and bead maker or topper 70/30 mix also some tail endings of some bottles. Seems like it works so far

[@derek723]

Agree with what you said around the 13 minute mark talking about how products need to be tested in the real world...HOWEVER...testing on a panel in your backyard does give controlled feedback which is highly valuable. It also gives a good baseline. If a products hydrophobics don't last a year on a test panel that simply sits in your backyard, you can probably safely assume it's not going to last very long on your daily driver

[@apexdetail85]

Absolutely!

[@gabevillarreal96]

Mothers was not impressive at first but was able to hold up after all that abuse. I would actually prefer the new seal n shine and New Ice spray wax combo to this. I'd love to see you test Nufinish Better than Wax Ceramic Spray coating along with their new graphene spray!

[@williadawilliams]

I think mother's took the win. The water behavior was a little better in the beginning for the meguiar's product. But in the end, even after the ten wash test, the APC, followed by the citrol 266, mother's was still beading. That's my choice.

[@COC785]

Mothers as a foundation with it's jetting effect and durability. Megs as the topper over Mothers with it's gloss and water behavior. Best of both worlds.

[@allendekle1304]

Same thing I thought to.

[@COC785]

@@allendekle1304 I use NV Nova Jet now. Best hydrophobics and self cleaning ability of any spray I have tried and I tried them all. Has a nice jet effect on the paint, hence the name. Using it as a topper over Gyeon Pure EVO currently.

[@Dee--Jay]

I used the mothers, It perform wayyyy better than it did on this video. Even after a month and 2 washes, its still better

[@fernandocabrera5848]

For the first time, I find a video so well explained in its comparison, the before and after so well detailed... excellent

[@marioskosmidhs9454]

Great video again sir. I would like to see some day ,the sonax ceramic seal and ceramic Detailer, very popular here jn Europe

[@RnBGarvey]

Meguiars has crazy water behavior. So much so, it leaves water spots everywhere if left to dry. I'll take Mothers

[@daviddeavila9019]

Why the fuck would you let it dry by its self

[@RnBGarvey]

@@daviddeavila9019 its called rain. it happens

[@lifeofbrian9511]

Megs for the gloss alone! It’s all I would want from a product in this category.

[@chrish8229]

Seal and shine still pound for pound champ in my book

[@Lndmk227]

I like Meguiar's a bit better. It was my go-to sealant for my daily for the longest time. I definitely notice the gloss that it adds when freshly-applied. Great beading too. I also liked how reasonably-priced it was until its popularity took off.

[@thinkforyourself5672]

West Marine sells it for like $18. Last time I checked Amazon it was like $27 or $28

[@raphaelmachin8335]

@@thinkforyourself5672 Thank you, you save me a few bucks :)

[@thinkforyourself5672]

@@raphaelmachin8335 No worries. I work there so I know that price won't last forever. They're definitely behind the ball with pricing on it.

[@BattleshipStLouis]

Tried both, and I have to say I like Mothers for the win. Easier to wipe off and it seemed to live a nice buttery feel to the paint.

[@larrydavisj]

I never bought the Megs when it first came out nor will I buy the Mothers. If we could take Megs gloss and mix it into the Mothers formula It would be a decent product. I just like that enrichment effect. As always thanks for sharing Brian.

[@sassytbc7923]

I would go with Mothers just because it is easier to apply, and seems easier to apply. Also seems that the benefits last longer.

[@Alvin-n8j]

I like this kind of review. Your showing data to prove the effectiveness unlike other review that the decision is base on their own visual appearance confirmation only. Good job, new subscriber here

[@Delfolio]

Bought the Mothers before this test, I'm glad I did after watching this!!!

[@13slot28]

Very FEW you tubers I trust and Brian is one on them!

[@proflex310]

Megs shows full potential when applied on a dry surface

[@apexdetail85]

If only THEY mention that....like on the label ...or their videos.

[@willoverkill8461]

Do you dampen the applicator with water and apply from there?

[@jmyers6175]

They both have sio2. They both work great if prep is done first as you said. Thanks

[@MeliorIlle]

This was much more impressive than the liquid wax you tested earlier, I might actually buy the Mother's if Seal and Shine wasn't so good.

[@apexdetail85]

Yes....this is much better than the last product

[@dtc8714]

I was blown away by how much difference there was between the two Mother's products

[@Retset]

I use the Meguiars product. It's one of the very few products I have used where the difference after application is easily noticeable; beyond any placebo effect (on a dark car I admit). It's a reasonably easy application as long as you dry the area before it dries itself! The ability to top up with a spray and rinse (I apply with a damp wash mitt onto a wet car for better coverage) means literally only a few minutes added on to the time taken for a wash. I was impressed with the durability and slickness shown by the Mothers product in this test but it wasn't enough to make me want to change to it.

[@Bull1the1Great]

This video before everything reminded me I have a megs bottle standing on the shelf for too long ! Gotta use it fast , if it's still good . How will I know it ?

[@NickVetter]

I love to try new products but 90% of the time I'm doing a rinseless with n-914 and then applying tec 582 on my car.

[@themachine8009]

I used Meguirs once and I had a hard time buffing it off.

[@basilfabian05]

Ive been using the Meguairs and Im always surprised when I go back to wash the car. The water beading really lasts for a long time 👍

[@stephenlouden480]

I'll take the Mothers. I experienced a little streaking from Meguires one. I mainly use seal n shine though because it's cheap and has extremely durable hyrdrophobic properties. no brainer I also like the Mothers CMX on top of the Seal n shine. I use it as drying aide. works amazing and increases shine. thanks for your great videos

[@Ricky_R]

Crazy how similarly matched the products were. Great testing by you to show each product’s strengths and weaknesses 🍻 I used to use the Megs but have since moved on to other products I find easier to apply with similar qualities.

[@TechCrazy]

Thanks for the detailed review and demo. Lot of work has gone to make this video and I appreciate it as I just got the mothers yesterday and wanted to see how it works.

[@bernardmacarius2635]

Like the color enhancement versus the hydrophobic property. Now seeing if water marks would have been nice. Like using a little high alkaline water like well water sprayed on and let dry in sun to see if water marks were very different. That I would be interested in for sure. Hate spots after a rain.

[@aimonecastellacci1618]

Good Morning Brian! Here in Italy I have tried Meguiars but I found griots 3n1 ceramic wax to be much more durable for me- I use it as a topper over Csl + Exo on my 2021 Golf GTD, on a clear coated Manx buggy as a stand alone and also over my single stage but polished 1967 912. Works well!

[@ivanbubalovic3613]

Cool Video, but to answer your question, I my self use Liquid Elements Ceramic Base Coat ( 2 layers ), and on top what ever I can get my hands on. The best Topping currently is Sonax CC ONE ( Hybrid Coating, 9 to 15 Months or 20000Km lasting Protection ), good Price, and very Safe for to use. You should try it sometime, make a new cool Video about those Products. God bless you and your family

[@usernamepainful]

Tried Mothers, I didn’t get any bead and it separated in the bottle. No amount of shaking mixed it back together. I never noticed any water beading while washing either. My car has a twenty five year old 2 stage paint job.

[@diggersdiecast8879]

i know of some folks who really abide by a test panel left outside. but on the road is where the real torture test reveals all

[@dr.v4333]

Would you recommend adding ceramic coating to a bottle of spray wax on your own? If so, what ratio would you recommend?

[@edwardbodenmiller6846]

Thank Brian i really enjoy your comparison tests. I have a question, lately I’ve been seeing a lot of commercials on KZbin about a product called Ceramic Shine by a Dan Sweeney. I was wondering if you have heard of this gentleman or any of his Torque products. Thanks again

[@apexdetail85]

The Torque products have ended up in the dumpster.....kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJa6dIyAlLOErrM

[@edwardbodenmiller6846]

Thanks Brain i knew you would have an answer for me

[@leftycosta1899]

I have been using the Meguiars on my new Telluride for a year now and while it has incredible beading action I am going to try something else. Probably the Turle Wax Hybrid. The Meguiars spots very easily. I end up having to buff it out using some good old fashion elbow grease applying a lot of pressure. Its quite the workout. It also completely comes off after 1 commercial car wash which it wouldn't surprise me if they all do.

[@ALIxGaMeR1]

Amazing video, I hope in the future that you do a video about 3D ACA 510 premium Rubbing Compound

[@cloudtoclear]

I love the meguairs HCW, I've heard good things and there are good videos on the turtle wax ceramic spray. can you do a similar head to head style of meg HCW vs tw ceramic spray?

[@apexdetail85]

Yes I can

[@Houndsworth]

Two year old video - I have had a bottle of this Mothers for a long time and I am mainly interested in UV protection. The 03 Tbird I bought five years ago sits in the sun for the first half of the day. I am guessing the good chemical resistance test result for the Mothers is showing a layer is still there working but does anyone know if that will protect paint from sun damage? In 2024 has there been any advances in sun protection?

[@mikeyp2447]

Yes! The white board! Missed it. Now… break out the rating board again!😁👍🏻

[@apexdetail85]

On it!

[@stmichale6192]

I purchased the mothers and I notice that it’s very streaky and takes more elbow grease to buff off. May be a good thing being that the product clings on very well, but definitely a workout when doing a huge pick up truck. Doesn’t help that the truck is black btw.

[@walterfullmer7344]

How often do you recommend to reapply the coating?

[@VAFR98]

Wow! Considering they are not that different overall I would say price if I had to choose

[@nobodysfool6419]

Other channels have applied the Meguiars base coat on a dry panel with a darker jetting effect even though it is not mentioned or on the label.

[@beejay8719]

I have sworn by meguiars for years!! However there are great products out there now, with that being said I do have a garage kept accord with the HCW by meguiars that after two years with topping it with the HC quick detailer is still protecting as the hydroponics are still there. Keep in mind it is garage kept and rarely driven in rain. My 2 cents.

[@johnvfx143]

I just got the Meguiar's, so happy it's a good one. What is your Recommended car wash product? What is this years best performing paint correction and finish products? The videos I saw on this last topic were from you 3 and 4 years ago. Thanks !!!

[@bigd9848]

Megs for the gloss and it has a nice beading effect.Excellent video as always Brian ✊

[@johngallo7383]

So i used Chemical guys Hydro charge and then Hydro Slick on top of the charge as CG's say to do, and now i maintain it with Nu Finish ceramic. I was using there Hydro Speed to keep the coating slick but i actually like the Nu Finish better. The Car is super slick and Glossy now. I have been staring at the Mothers every time i go into a auto shop or walmart. Still love the combo i have on the car but i wonder if adding Mothers to it for the deeper gloss would be a help or not? Your thoughts Apex?

[@neilwalker5041]

The gloss of Meguiars or the darkening effect of Mothers. The big surprise was the chemical resistance of Mothers in my opinion. Do we need a test of the mothers versus seal n shine?

[@apexdetail85]

I can certainly make that happen!

[@tooagle]

The gloss is higher using Meguiars at the time. But you should check it a week or two later. Personally, I think Mothers is a better product, IF you can get the blotching out. Great review!

[@SittingWithDogs]

I miss these types of videos

[@arthurglazier5954]

Just bought the Mothers at a discount store for $7.99. I have not used it yet but at least I got a deal. Maybe there's a reason it was half off. I did seem to hold its own in this test.

[@johnketuroskey6293]

[@apexdetail85]

Good match up!

[@T.Mitcbree]

Apologies for a late question but I was reading comments from another KZbin Detailer suggesting that you can dilute the Hybrid Ceramic Wax to make yourself a Hybrid Ceramic Detailer equivalent and to make your dollar go further. Would this work or would the addition of water to the wax activate the proprietary chemicals immediately, reducing and minimising their effect as a detailer?

[@thomasdeluca754]

The jetting affect from Mothers was quite substantial.

[@compumetal7959]

I've been using meguiars hcw for almost a year. rain is the most harsh thing that ruin hcw. It's doesn't stand much in my tropical rain season

Hi, what would you suggest is the best easy to apply product for intense gloss for a vehicle with ceramic xoaring and ppf? Thanks!

[@marcuswilson2147]

Hi, I have been unsure whether to use the liquid wax first as a base and then use the spray wax afterwards to maintain the finish or just use the spray wax on its own? I live in a very dusty climate, not the USA, so for me the shiny silky finish finish is really important to help prevent dust collecting. Do you have any recommendations for me regarding a different product or are these spray waxs the way to go? Great video, thanks in advance

[@katiecannon8186]

I live on a dirt road, so have constant dust. So I’m also trying to figure out what to use. I’m leaning towards Polish Angel sealant & one of their waxes. And Turtle Wax Slick Shine quick detailer for daily use. Well, really about 4 days a week.

[@jbrooks8885]

I used the mother's it's kind of hard to remove for me to much work.

[@assog5737]

All this is unnecessary. You can tell how good a product is going to perform. When you are applying it. For example: When I tried the Mothers product, when applying there was a lot of resistance. Even when buffing out. When applying the Meg. product. You can feel the resistance fading when applying. Then has you buff it out almost all resistance is gone. My true test is when I'm finished. I will toss a rag on to my hood. With the Meg. product the rag slides all the way to the other side and slides off. With the Mothers product. When I toss the rag on to the hood, it stops immediately. So tell me which one do you think is better ?

[@slickstrings]

I think much of this test would have been tilted towards mothers if the application quantity was the same. Spraying into the cloth and wiping it on just would not have applied the quantity. Much gets absorbed and the layer you spread on is thin. Spraying onto the surface and spreading around pushes a much thicker application in my opinion. Despite the instructions i think mothers gloss would have been up higher.
