Make sense?
TIA again...

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax
Hi,
anyone tried of dilution of HCW with Meguiar x-press D15601? I was having the thought by combining that both will make the HCW less thick and easier to apply and at the same time having the properties of the slickness of D15601

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax
In early summer last year I applied a Meguiar’s Hi-Tech ‘26’ yellow paste wax foundation on my 2019 Blade Silver C7 Corvette, followed a week later by a coating of Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic wax. For the remaining summer and early fall my Corvette probably received 2-3 more treatments of HCW before it was covered and went into unheated winter storage for the past 6 months here in Ontario, Canada. As we enter into the 2020 driving season I am considering applying a new foundation coat using Meguiar’s ‘Ultimate Liquid Wax’ followed by a coating of HCW, however I am curious as to Meguiar’s recommendations:
- does a new foundation coating of ‘Ultimate Liquid Wax’ serve any benefits
- seeing that my C7 already has HCW on its surface, any necessary steps needed prior to applying the ULW
- is there a recommended number of HCW applications per season (I’m considering applying every 4-6 weeks).
Helpful hint: Buy a standard 32 oz spray bottle, pour the HCW from the Meguiar’s bottle, add about 2 ounces of water into the Meguiar’s bottle, shake and pour into the 32 oz bottle, shake again. The two ounces of water will dilute the HCW just enough to the eliminate the ‘globing’ effect you may experience with the Meguiar’s spray bottle and the adjustable nozzle on the 32 oz bottle allows for finer droplets when spraying.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax
Question, We have really hard water here in AZ so I usually have to go to the car wash and use the spot-free rinse option to try to keep spots to a min. Can I apply this using the lower spray pressure of the spot free rinse or does it require higher pressure? I thought I saw a post in here saying that one person sprayed their panel down to wet it then wiped this on using a towel that was moistend with the product and then dried afterward? Would that be a better optino for application?

1. We do not claim UVA/UVB protection specifically. It does protect against the sun & provides a sacrificial barrier against elements of the environment, like our other waxes/sealants, but again we do not claim UVA/UVB specifically.
2. Yes it can build up. This is a good thing.
3. We have not been advised or noticed any special care required for towels used with Hybrid Ceramic Wax.
Hope this helps.

- Can I take #1 to mean that HCW protects against the visible spectrum and heat of the sun but not UV?
- If "no" to the above, which of your sealants do?
Thanks, my car is parked 24/7 outside with no shade so I gotta know.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax
Well, no product is going to prevent the car paint from getting hot...
But the general idea is to use the detailing products like polish and wax to keep the paint/clear coat protected and healthy. Then the paint will be able to use its UV inhibitors to keep itself safe.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR Blue

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax
Nick, (or anyone ��) all the directions I see advise spraying HCW on a wet car and using microfiber towel to dry (base) or spraying HCW and power rinsing off (on going) Is there a downside to using HCW on a dry, clean car? Or is the whole point simply for convenience? I tend to wash at the local hand held car wash but “wax” at home in the garage so using HCW dry is more convenient for me.
thanks

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax
Well, I tried it... Washed the Jetta (white) as usual. It’s always WAY more dirty than I think it is... Brought it home and put a couple coats of HCW on, like I would a regular spray wax. Spray on, rub in, rub off with MF towels. No water or rinsing... Man that car is shiny! It’s 18 years old and I swear it’s never looked this good! I may try adding another coat at some point but hopefully this will make it through the winter. Great thread about a fantastic product. Thanks guys!

It is probably best to have a base coat of wax, then use the HCW. But if not practical, then you can use the HCW regularly instead.
Also, dont need the Ult Compound every time unless there is stuff to fix up.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR Blue
