This has been bugging me for a while now - How do you pronounce the name "Meguiars" - A bit of phonetic help would be appreciated. I am relatively new to Meguiars and think NXT Polish, supported by NXT Car wash is the best yet. My Merc positively gleams with it.

Hi Glenleven,

Welcome to Meguiar's Online! :welcome

You question is a good one, even I at the age of 17 struggled with how to pronounce the word Meguiar's when I first discovered Meguiar's products in my home town auto parts store.

Here you go,

megwires

The e is pronounced the way you would pronounce egg.

Hope this helps...

Mike

Maybe the company name needs to be changed to "Holy S**t" (i.e. = poopie)!
Because thats the first response everyone says after using Meguiar's.

Well at least it would be easier to pronounce...:D

~ One man’s opinion / observations ~
The way it was explained to me when I first came to the US was to pronounce Meguiar’s the same way you hear an southern US pronounce Jaguar (jag wire) as opposed to jag you are

( Although I misspelled it megier's for a long time)


~ Hope this helps ~
