Can't wait to get my hands on this!

No, that's not a concern. We just don't want folks deciding that it's so good on paint they want to hose down the windshield with it.

But how do you hose off the roof without hosing off the windshield?

It works great on wheels! Spray, rinse, dry and you're done!

It's really formulated to bond, on a molecular level, with paint. Glass poses a different surface composition and the bonding may not be complete on it. Our typical recommendation is to avoid paint protectants on glass due to the possibility of too much being applied and then streaking happening during rainfall at night. That said, we know some of you are going to experiment anyway, and some may even get excellent results. We just don't recommend it.

This is no concern. M Stoop's point was that it does not work as well or last as long on glass.

I applied this for the first time as directed. This morning I noticed some streaks where I assume I didn't get it completely dry. Tried to wipe with a damp MF without much improvement. Does that mean it has cured and would need more effort to eliminate?

We would recommend using more water to assist in removal, at the most, we would imagine a mild cleaner wax would remove.

How much additional corrosion resistance does hybrid ceramic wax offer? I just waxed my new car using ULW recently, applied two coats, but after driving for a month I still found one or two water spots that have etched in. I heard ceramic coating have better corrosion resistance compared to sealant, was wondering if this will further help prevent such issues.

Also, will microfiber cloth used to wipe this product form ceramic crystals?

It's tough to say how much more it will help with stain resistance, but being that Ceramic/Si02 based chemistry is in general better protection, more durable, & longer lasting, the answer is yes, is should help a small amount more against water spots/stains. The only way to prevent against water spots & bird dropping stains, etc., is to remove them ASAP.

Not sure where to post my question ...
I’ve got a restomod I’ll be painting with acrylic lacquer ..
Looks to me once I’m done with any buffing this hybrid ceramic is the only finish I need?
What kind of cure time should I allow for the fresh paint?

Hi Russtache,

If you would like, you are welcome to start a new thread, within one of the forums at this below link:

In fact it would be a bit better to start a new thread, in another forum, instead of within this thread, in case you would like to discuss other topics around your project.

After countless hours of reading various posts and watching a number of videos, I think I’ve come up with a game plan. First some background info, I will be applying these coatings on a ten month old C7 Corvette, Blade Silver in color.
My plan is as follows, use Meguiar’s Ultimate Liquid Wax as a foundation, let it cure for approx 1 week and then apply Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic Wax (HCW) as a top coat. As for applying the HCW, spray lightly onto a wet panel and spread evenly by applying HCW to a wet wax applicator pad (hopefully this will reduce the possibility of streaking) and then dry with a microfiber towel.
Following the initial HCW application, wet the car again with water, spray with HCW, rinse off using a heavy ‘fan’ spray of water and dry.
Would be interested in hearing your comments.

Hi Jim,

Sounds good except for wet microfiber applicator pad. I mean you can try that, but a microfiber towel is fine.

Re: How to use Meguiar's NEW Hybrid Ceramic Wax!

Hey, I have a similar question about layering. A prior owner had my Spyder repainted and the color (dark metallic green), while beautiful, seems especially vulnerable to waterspots and stains. I assume this is just the curse of a less-than-factory aftermarket paint job but have done all I can to give it as much care and protection as possible. Right now I usually apply your competition (sorry) - CG Black Light sealer with Big White's hi-temp paste wax on top. That helps a lot with the waterspotting but doesn't cure it. I've picked up a bottle of your Hybrid Ceramic to try in hopes of getting better water resistance, but don't know where to put it in the layering. Does it go on top of the paste wax or does the wax go on top of it? What's your advice on the order of "stacking" these products? I realize you can't speak to the qualities of the stuff that isn't yours, but I'd be equally curious to try something like Meg's Ultimate Liquid Wax instead, to see how it compares.
