Meguiar's Quik Tips Video Series - Waxing
After viewing the video clip you can scroll down for a step by step refresher, complete with still images shot during the filming of the video.
Please keep in mind that this video, and the others in the series, are not designed to be definitive how to guides but rather, as the name implies, Quik Tips that address the most common questions and mistakes associated with each topic.
Waxing your car regularly is a must when it comes to protecting your paint from the elements... and with the variety of waxes available, choosing the right one can be a bit confusing.
If you are looking for a synthetic polymer based wax for the ultimate in protection, Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 is your answer. If you are looking more for a natural carnauba based wax, we recommend Meguiar's Gold Class Carnauba Plus wax. Each is offered in a in liquid or paste version and we even offer a separate spray wax…all having their own unique benefits.
Our liquid waxes offer high quality protection in an easy to use liquid form. If your looking for that feel of a traditional paste, our paste waxes offer the same quality of protection as our liquids. And our spray wax is the best choice for an even quicker, easier result.
Before waxing, wash and dry your vehicle thoroughly, and make sure it's free from any defects and bonded contaminants. If not, you'll need to use our Smooth Surface Clay Kit or one of our paint cleaners like Meguiar's Ultimate Compound to properly prep the surface before applying a wax.
When applying a wax, best results will always be achieved when working in the shade and on a cool surface.
If you are working by hand, apply your favorite Meguiar's wax onto a foam applicator and spread the product over the surface creating a thin uniform layer. Continue working around the vehicle until it is covered in a thin even coat.
If you are using our Dual Action Polisher, attach our black Foam Finishing Pad, and set the speed to between 1 and 3. Apply your favorite Meguiar's wax directly to the pad and place the pad flat on the paint. Turn the machine on and begin buffing with light pressure in an overlapping pattern while keeping the pad flat against the paint at all times.
Re-Apply the wax to the pad as often as needed until the entire vehicle has a thin, even coat of wax. Thin coats are important as a heavy coat just causes a longer drying time, makes removal difficult, and simply waists product.
When the wax is dry, use our Supreme Shine Microfiber Towel to easily remove it.
To determine when the wax is ready to be removed, swipe your finger across a section. If it smears, it is not yet ready to remove. If it is clear, however, then you can begin removing the wax using our Supreme Shine Microfiber towel.
To extend the life of your wax, remember to always use a wash designed for car finishes like Meguiar's Ultimate Wash N Wax.
