I understand the folk that like te 'warm soft glow' of the wax. But the st6aying power of sealants topped w/spray sealants on everything........not going back.
Again Brian, like the Meg's Mirror Glaze video, this is a well-done tutorial showing that a slightly old-school product still has relevancy and effectiveness. A time proven product for sure. Nice to see that it has been upgraded. Shine on you crazy diamond!
I’ve gotten so lazy. I use Griots Garage Spray on Ceramic wax on all my cars now. Very easy to use. Great shine. Makes the surface slick. I have cabinets full of so many detail products down to one now.
Love old school waxes and polymer sealants! I use 3D Poxy wax and Xtreme Solutions polymer Poly Seal! Plus, they don't ruin my towels like a ceramic will!
I LOVE Poxy too. My go-to sealant is Optimum Opti-Seal. Duragloss 111, and Jescar UltraLock Plus are also on the shelf. I use and offer Optimum Gloss Coat for my coating option. It's very durable, easy to apply, and I don't need to throw away any applicators or towels. I'm still using the same applicator that came with my first syringe of Gloss Coat in 2017!
Oh, and I still keep Meguiar's M20 Polymer Sealant, M21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0, and Ultimate Liquid Wax on hand. I started off using Meguiar's in the mid 90's, and I'll always have their products on hand, even though I favor others.
If I'm going to go thru the work of polishing and prepping a vehicle, I'm going to apply something more protective than this. It does seem like a good retail product, though. Thank you, Brian, for review. You're the best.
I’m an O’l school polish and wax guy! I just like the fact they’re easy to maintain and remove. A new product by Kamikaze, their Anti-aging cleanser 5.0 is a godsend. It removes old sealants and waxes with little or no effort saving me a significant amount of time when detailing my car.
Thanks for the info on the new Kamikaze product. I’ve been doing paint correction on my cars for several years and the biggest problem I’ve had is finding a product that will strip the sealant off the car before polishing. Most of the stuff advertised to do this is plain junk. Chemical Guys Clean Slate…doesn’t work. Adams strip wash….doesn’t work. I use Wolfgang sealant and can routinely get well over a year out of it. Disclaimer…I put about 9,000 miles a year on my car and it’s garage kept and we’ll maintained so the sealants really last. I bought a bottle of Poorboys and was going to try that next. Again, thanks for the info.
@@stevenbyron9816is it really a big problem to simply polish with the sealant still on? My thinking is that the amount of sealant on the surface is so tiny, that the polishing would quickly remove it, and the surface would still be corrected successfully. But I'm not talking from experience.
I prefer the Ultimate Wax from Meguiar's over their own hybrid line up and vs any other wax/ sealant products. One you can even apply the paste wax without losing too much on durability.
Thank you brian.i have a full bottle of the older formula. Came with the compound and polish and I've never opened it. Think I will start to use it up a little. 👍
Another great video Brian I really enjoy and your knowledge is amazing. I just wish Meguiares had stayed family owned like Turtle Wax I love there hybrid solutions products
Great upload, Brian! My go-to is Optimum Opti-Seal. A lot of the reason was the head to head with Wolfgang you presented. I was flabbergasted that Opti-Seal hung on till the end. With it's ease of use, cost per use, and the fact that Im mostly using Optimum. It solidified my decision. Duragloss 111 is another one I really like.
I would argue that statement that wax is dead for me it’s pride in ownership I do mine just about monthly I have it down to where it takes me about an hour, first and make sure the paint is clean using N 914, because I’ve noticed if I use a polymer-based cleaner for some reason turtle wax to the max graphene wax doesn’t attach itself quite well for some odd reason with ONR….. at least on my paint which is Subaru paint… I start from one end and work my way around the car to the other side including the roof and by that time I come back and take the wax off, One of these days I need to try a resin based coating, everybody at the winery asked me about ceramic coatings and I explain to them the pros and cons and then when they asked me what I use which is still wax their perplexed they seem to think that ceramic coatings is this miracle do all, and to summon certain extent it is I would argue that good old wax still has the best prevention against water spotting, but I think the chemistry has changed with that situation.
@@apexdetail85 very easy and a little goes a long way. It sits thick, so put the bottle in warm water for 15 minutes and it then flows very nicely. Application simple and removal with microfiber very easy.
I still use carnauba wax like griots garage best of show liquid wax and meguiars gold class carnauba wax. Well for sports cars since imo they leave such a a warm shine compared to griots 3 in 1 ceramic spray.
I use Wolfgang sealant and routine get well over a year out of it. (Garage kept car, 9,000 - 10,000 miles a year and the car is very well maintained.) Most of these sealants are so easy to use I couldn’t imagine using a ceramic coating. Not worth all the hassle. I’ll stick with my sealants.
I’m a Autobody painter, and am not a fan of the mechanical aggression it takes to apply and remove a hand wax. I feel like the sprays take less aggression. But I know people that still really like waxing 👍🏻
Looks good. I use max wax for filling, love it for that! Question- never messed with zep cleaners but thought about it for the heck of it. How do you like them?
I’d love to see a test with some of the top names in this category (Collinite 845, Fusso, etc.) up against some top spray sealants. Ease of use, jetting, gloss, longevity, ability to use on plastic/rubber, etc.
@@apexdetail85 Yes! There's a reason I went from watching 5 detailing channels to just yours... I'm hoping to bring some work your way at some point with either my '61 Impala or a Suburban/Yukon XL since I'm not too far away in MD.
never needed longevity in a wax as I put something on every time I wash, which is weekly. More important to me is being able to use in hot sunny conditions..
I'm sure a 'wax' fills swirls more than a spray on/wipe off product. I think that Maguiars have tweaked the old formula so they can compete with other products without spending too much on development.
Very nice video as always, im a huge fan! Unfortunately Meguiar's is a dying breed here in Europe, once a quality standard, now barely even present on the shelves, their price is also eye-watering, you said 19 bucks for this bottle, here it costs about 50 bucks, no one is buying it from my detail crazed friends, no one is even mentioning it, sad but thats the reality. I have it on my shelf and kinda thinkin about applying it to my second car, a daily driven Toyota CHR to test it. Cheers
Late reply, but why not just charge extra for it instead if asking for a tip. If the customer prefers it they should be willing to pay for it. Practically the entire cost of a detail is labor anyway. Paint correction in particular is expensive simply because it takes a long time.
I’d much rather use Phoenix EOD Titan spray or Gyeon Q2 Wax or Gyeon Wet Coat. Do you recommend a panel prep like Gyeon Prep before applying any liquid wax?
I search a long tasting, easy application, shiny wax, what would you recommend for me? I am a hobby detailer. Gyeon wax q2 or meguiars ultimate quick wax or turtle wax graphene spray wax or what other?thanks ❤❤
@@RnBGarvey I get it you love wax and the waxing experience. However all you have to do is go to anywhere car cleaning supplies are sold and look at the amount of shelf space is given to waxes vs all the other detail sprays, paint sealants etc…it’s not even close to being 50/50, more like 90/10.
@@apexdetail85 true, however they’ll quickly come to the same conclusion. They can get 2 to 5 times the durability with much much less effort sticking with Sio2 sprays. They’ll at first be blown away with the hydrophobics and slickness and the soft “glow” of a wax but will realize the big picture end result isn’t worth the effort.
All these sites keep saying protecting the PAINT , when in fact your not touching the paint at all , your polishing the LACQUER , you will get some smart asses respond and say , well that is paint, NO IT ISNT ,
Sorry but that 'durability' test isn't worth ass. Simply washing over it time and time again does prove nothing about the longevity of a product in real life use because of the time and dirt that is putting on strain on the sealant. But thank you for the test and showcase nonetheless, I'm simply not a fan of that method.
Your thoughts on old school waxes and polymer sealants?
I understand the folk that like te 'warm soft glow' of the wax. But the st6aying power of sealants topped w/spray sealants on everything........not going back.
Enjoy using the Extreme solutions 357 magnum wax.
I enjoy using them still.
I enjoy the activity of applying and buffing paste wax from my cars. I'm currently very fond of Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions paste wax. Thank you,
I've had great results in the past with NU-Finish liquid on single stage paint
Again Brian, like the Meg's Mirror Glaze video, this is a well-done tutorial showing that a slightly old-school product still has relevancy and effectiveness. A time proven product for sure. Nice to see that it has been upgraded.
Shine on you crazy diamond!
megs liquid wax was one of the products that made me fall in love with detailing
I’ve gotten so lazy. I use Griots Garage Spray on Ceramic wax on all my cars now. Very easy to use. Great shine. Makes the surface slick. I have cabinets full of so many detail products down to one now.
Same here. 3-4tubs pf nice carnauba and blend waxes, gathering dust
I am also lazy. This was my go to before I discovered ceramics.

Interesting. Does it easy to wipe off? I'm using Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer and it quiet difficult to wipe. Very grippy
It’s super easy! It’s as simple as washing the car with soap and mitt. Worth every penny, and a little goes a long way👍

@@gregsullivan7408This is what I've always wondered.
I've tried just about every spray sealant and ceramic detailer on the market and still think Menzerna Powerlock is my favorite!
I have no problem with that.

I still love wax.

I use Collinite 845. Then use some P&S Beadmaker. Great combo
Do you find Collinite easy or difficult to work with?
@@apexdetail85 very easy and a little goes a long way. It sits thick, so put the bottle in warm water for 15 minutes and it then flows very nicely. Application simple and removal with microfiber very easy.

Again Exelent video show the true 👍
Excellent review…..✔️👍
Phoenix eod Glossome wax topped with Titan - incredible gloss
Great video buddy tfs
Thanks for watching
Just used xtreme solutions poly seal on my Jeep. Gave it a little extra kick and topped it off with bc3
it's all going to be about the price to performance.
Of corse polymer sealants are not dead, they are as good as any other "ceramic" or newer product.
I`ll watch the video later.
never needed longevity in a wax as I put something on every time I wash, which is weekly. More important to me is being able to use in hot sunny conditions..
Thanks for mentioning single stage paint.
There is nothing better than hand rubbing a paste/liquid wax on your pride and joy. Very therapeutic
Agreed.
I use mckees37 graphene sealant
Another good choice
Wax is a very good thing 🤓🤘🏻

I have clients that still prefer wipe on waxes. I always keep some just in case and ask for a tip due to the time it takes to coat a vehicle with it.

I search a long tasting, easy application, shiny wax, what would you recommend for me? I am a hobby detailer. Gyeon wax q2 or meguiars ultimate quick wax or turtle wax graphene spray wax or what other?thanks ❤❤
I still use polymer sealants topped with wax.
Do you see any issues with faster deterioration in the hot summer months like traditional carnauba waxes?
Not as fast as natural T1 Carnauba.
I used the version a few years ago was not impressed. Low durability. McKee's 10Min. Sealant is the best I've used and very easy application.
can i rejuvinate vinyl wrapping with it?
I use fusso old formula and its best
Good stuff.
Was this wax/vehicle for a customer? Or just a test?
It was in for water spot removal only… we protected it complimentary.
Do you ever wipe off your wax r sealants with Beadmaker?
BM makes a great topper for waxes and sealants.
What was the cordless buffer you were using?
It's clearly a Shinemate but not sure of the exact model
15mm ShineMate.
Just use Hybrid Solutions ceramic spray and call it a day.
Just the fact that you have to address waxes and polymers as not being dead means they are antiquated and are dying out if not dead already.
