    I find that the combination of Meguiars Fast Finish as a Base Coat and Then adding the Meguiars Habrid Ceramic Wax Adds higher levels of Gloss (to the human eye) and the paint feels slicker after application and during application I do use your method to apply the Habrid Ceramic Wax, Great Video as always!

      @ForensicDetailing  5 років тому

      @@cedjazz its hard to answer.. your adding more material ontop of other material so you would think the "top" most material is whats going to be on display hydrophobicity speaking. Materials which truely would dimishing the base line would be solvents or detergents. more often other products "mask"... but it important to use compatible products generally. theres also tons of different formats of quick detailers all different chemically so its hard to generalise.

    Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Spray work great! I like to spray on a wet vehicle a section at a time, use an applicator to spread, and then dry with microfiber. It also works great on plastic trim, rims, and exterior glass. I have a tile shower and use Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic spray and the water and soap just rolls off the walls for months.

    I haven't used any of the ones tested but I used Gyeon wet coat 1litre (£21.49 shipped which I thought compared well for price to the competition) for the first time this week on a late evening on an overcast day and it worked perfectly. Longevity I think is an important aspect for these products because they aren't cheap, especially if like me you're used to squeezing that trigger and seeing a lot of product on the panel.

    Excellent review. Thanks for your hard work. I have Reload and used it a lot. I agree that it is a lovely product to use and look at but it really doesn't last. I use it on my wife's car and it can't do 2 months whether or not the car is washed in that time. I'll carry on as I like it and paid for it but, the second it runs out, I'll get the Meguiars product - that longevity is crazy and makes it worth spending a bit more time applying.

    Jon, You might be interested about how I use Cure. I add 2oz into a 22oz bottle of detail spray. The ratio is 20oz water, 2oz Cure and 1oz of Wolfgang Urber Rinse-less wash. After I wash my ceramic coated cars, I use this cocktail as a drying aid. The gloss is quite noticeable, very slick and I feel like like I am putting down a small amount of protection every time I wash. I have not figured out the exact cost of a 23oz bottle of my mixture, but it is very inexpensive to make and works incredibly well. Great video. You put A LOT of time into it and I appreciate it. I think when I run out of Cure, I will try the TAC Systems product, since my base layer is Moonlight.

    First of all, THANK YOU for taking so much time to put all of that thought and effort into putting this together... the community certainly appreciates it! I thought you did a great job across the board in educating, explaining and entertaining :)
    One thing I think might help you enjoy the Hybrid Ceramic Wax a bit more would be to use less product even yet based on the short clip where you applied it to the door and front panel. Your tip about spraying from further back and really trying to rinse it off was spot-on. I think with experience and less product you will find that using less product should all but entirely eliminate the risk of streaks or difficult wipe-off.
    Also, a slightly damp drying towel seems to make the removal and leveling easier as well. Hope that helps you enjoy it just a bit more. Looking forward to enjoying more of your content into the future. -Markus, Meguiar's Professional Product Manager

      @ForensicDetailing  5 років тому +1

      thx mark I certainly hurled it on in places. got a silica iceberg on the rear door :) one really important bit of feedback to meguiars if this is any use. Id say about 1 in 10 (finger in the wind) guys are messing up the install. in the UK you have european label on the back that opens up and reads like a book. With the instructions tucked away in that book. I think some guys dont realise its a book and simply read the instructions as spray and rinse from the front of the label. On the back of the bottle the part where it says read the instructions is kind of hidden on the end of the health warning paragraph. because the product is going out to so many people I would put the letters "Important read the instructions in the fold out booklet" away from the rest of the health warning text, in bigger letters nearer the little arrow. sounds really obvious I know but I just think that will help megs lower the about that just pick it up and spray on and mess up the install.
      product is holding up well in real life, the comments on these videos are always a good raw indicator of peoples thoughts. Most guys seem to be liking it. great stuff thanks for taking the time to watch.

It was hard work but take a side at a time and as you say work it hard with the pressure washer and I think I have some fantastic results. First time I have used such a product. Today in the sun it looks great with only a small amount of marks on the Limmo tint windows so I’m really happy with the results. Use about 3/4 of a bottle and used a microfibre to evenly spread its initial application then jet wash to get the van wet then it’s last application with a blast off and dry. Hard work but definitely happy with results, time will tell on its longevity.

I have learned so much from you and I’m super grateful!! I also wanted to comment on something that I found to be a nice combo. I did a Reload, And P&S Beadmaker combo with Reload on the bottom. I thought it offered great hydrophobicity and a great shine all in one. Just wanted to drop that in here if anyone watching was curious! Thanks again for all the videos!!

    Just picked up some Meg Hybrid Ceramic Wax the other day from the well know highstreet car/bicycle shop here in the UK. So far I am impressed with it as per many reviews. Still have to see on durability but so far so good. Heard about the difficulty in application from reviews causing streaking when spraying on so went with a recommended method of using damp micro-fibre applicator pad and wiping on when the car was still wet just prior to a towel dry. It should make the product go even further as you're not over applying and buffing off so much unbonded excess.
    My other car is ceramic coated and I've just started using EZ Car Cares Hydra Soap shampoo which is SiO2 infused. Thought it might be good to 'reload' the ceramic coat during the hand washing phase rather than the drying phase like the sprays used during the test. Would love it if you could test it and give a 'forensic' report on its performance.

    Love the comparison. Using the water based detergent was great as opposed to those harsh stuff used in other videos. Although I'm not familiar with the brands other than Megs. Was surprised Megs did well in durability and sickness though. Doesn't usually do well in these areas in other comparisons. Nonetheless I'm a big fan. Happy that Megs the winner.

    Great video Jon! I have been trying to explain to others that you can't simply spray APCs on and do a quick rinse and expect the residue to be completely gone with a quick rinse with a garden hose and/or a quick wipe with a wet rag. Too many people are declaring sealants "dead" after one application of an APC when in fact, the residue is masking the hydrophobic properties. Now I can point them to this video. Thanks!

    • @ForensicDetailing
      @ForensicDetailing  5 років тому

      some ph neutral car soaps and some APCs or water base degreasers can mask hydrophobic performance a lot. Sometimes you can sort of get back the performance with a good strong and long blast with the pressure washer and they can open up and come back. Some you can blast for 20 mins and it wont unclog and the product looks dead unless you clean the panel with an alkaline. Its important to find a good detergent that contains non-ionic or anionic surfactants. If in doubt a product thats designed to be rinseable is best like a TFR but even those can mask. Over the years of doing YT ive had hundreds of people tell me there sealant was not very good because it was dead after 1-2 washes. Its never dead after a wash just masked.

    The way the Meguiars is applied probably gives such a heavy coat is why it lasts slightly better. I'd probably go with the remax.

    • @ForensicDetailing
      @ForensicDetailing  5 років тому

      Thing is though. they were all applied the same way. one spritz onto an applicator, spread over that section buff back. I dont think it was the thickness of the meguiars product that meant it lasted out well I think its the actual materials themself. maybe hard to say though.

      Tried the ceramic wax on Sat morning... As you said less is more specially in the warm weather... Super glossy finish but a little streaky on the first two panels... I then used 1 spray per panel and it worked well... Will see how it goes on for the 2nd wash next week and when it rains on Tueday.. black cars are always a nightmare to keep clean ! love the polar seal too... Very easy to use and great value.. cheers Mark
      *********
      Used it again today, and it was fantastic... Probably the best product I have used.. my bottle gives a much better mist than the one in your video, and I didn't realise that the bottle was clear blue so you can see how much is used ..
      The beading was amazing and the ease of drying the Mustang was far easier..
      I thought I would also mention as I know you like value for money.. I use a texaco petrol station club card.. that gives you points each time you refill ..
      These can be turned into vouchers... I quickly made £15 in vouchers and with my halfords club card the meguires hybrid wax only cost £3 with a £15 voucher from Texaco fuel club card
