Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Yes, I understand HCW is neither ceramic or wax (based on what I’ve read here). I’ll try applying it after I use the Meguiars Polish. I’m tempted to do a wax layer first for some added luster then finish with the HCW. In theory if you use the HCW frequently enough the wax layer almost becomes permanent.

Again, to be clear for those reading in the future. This product is exactly what it says it is, a hybrid employing both ceramic Si02 and synthetic polymer technology. It does indeed contain ceramic technology but that does not make it nor are we claiming it to be a ceramic coating. Sorry to push so hard for clarity here but there is a lot of misinformation and inaccuracy related to this product and surrounding terminology.

I like to blow dry my vehicle, removing the majority of the water and then do a final wipe down. When laying the base layer of HCW, is this method sufficient or should it be wiped off when fully wet?

You definitely want it fairly wet. This stuff is THICK. If you spray it on an almost dry panel you're going to have a hell of a time spreading it, avoiding streaks and buffing off.

This is how I've been applying HCW. I works GREAT and uses very little product. I currently have 4 applications on my Camaro and it seems like each application makes the car darker and slicker.




Here is the beading after 1 week, over 500 miles and a light rain ...

Hi guys!

I just bought that new Hybrid Ceramic Wax, and I got the ultimate fast finish and some ultimate liquid wax too.

Now I applied the liquid wax THEN the ultimate last finish to protect the gloss and the paint.

About this Ceramic Wax....when I have to apply to have best result? Obviously, I don't apply fast finish every wash!

Thank you in advance.

Meguiars said it's best applied as the last product, if you layer multiple. So after UFF.

Some of the best info straight from the source on it.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

Good video. Answers a lot of obvious questions about the name of the product. I’ve been using HCW for 2 weeks now and have applied it to two different vehicles and it works. After you do the initial wipe-in, the spray on maintenance method is amazingly simple and vehicle drying is a fraction of the work. I like it.

Thanx for the link Mike.

Was kinda concerned when I saw the length (40min), but it was a good 40 min!

Looks like you will see how it works in snow this week (yuk - I still have a 5' drift in the back yard). Please come back and give a report on how it did.

The rain yesterday helped but it looks like winter is not giving up it’s ghost just yet. I’m suppose to drive to Chicago on Thursday... ugh.

Re: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax

So now I’m thinking about trying this as a semi-waterless detailer. I’d hate to use a something else on top of it so once you go HCW it seems you’re kind of committed. I’m thinking I’ll try misting the surface with plain water from a spray bottle and then use a damp cloth w small amount of product. Sort of the “drying aid” method but starting w dry car and then misting panel by panel. I think the key will be making sure the surface is cool/out of the sun. Obviously not something to do with a really dirty surface but as a quick touch up.

I'd be surprised if that works since it comes out so thick but let us know! I'm curious.
