Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax Review | is it worth the extra money?

- Today I will review Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic liquid wax to find out whether this could be the world's Best ceramic wax for beginners. The idea of today's video is to show you how to apply Ceramic Wax, explain the process and go through what to do in the event of getting streaking on the paintwork.
The purpose of filming this one was to show you how it works on a car that hasn't been clay barred or machine polished and to examine how a beginner may find using this wax. I will also explain the difference between Meguiar's ultimate paste wax and the new Hybrid ceramic wax.

Hi Dave brilliant video as usual!! Can I ask for some advice? I have a silver car and although it can get rich gloss I struggle to get the glassy like gloss I normally get when I do family cars which are black and red etc. I am going to give it a finishing polish which my machine polisher but I want that wet look which no matter what I use I struggle to get. Any tips would be great
I think in general silver cars always look really flat even when polished but the only I would recommend for that perfect finish is a clay bar then a good machine polish with a decent compound to start with. After that I've used many glazes before applying a wax which have plenty of fillers. Alternatively I like g techniq crystal serum light then follow up 48 hours later with exoV4 for that deep wet look. What products are using at the moment? I feel your pain silver cars lack that impact from a good wax
The Epic Car Show - Entertaining Detailing as we speak I am currently polishing g using menzarna 3800 finishing polish with Koch chemie F6 for scratches. Claude it if Illbilt
Sorry phone fart there. I meant to say clay bar it with bilt hamber soft clay was going g to put ez ceramic wax on it after or double speed. If I’m honest I’ve done one door and it isn’t much better than the other doors that haven’t been polished
@@challinor02 are you on instagram? dm me some pics of the car if you like. Thats the thing with silver is a very flat colour
The Epic Car Show - Entertaining Detailing yes I am mate I’ll send u a pic
Glad I've found your channel. I like my car to look decent but I'm one of those people who wants relatively simple solutions that fall short of full on detailing but are above what the average person does. I've subscribed and look forward to more content.
Thanks so much Peter. My newer videos are all about helping and simplifying the car cleaning process and all videos from now on will be going in that direction 😃
I bought some of this after seeing this video. Had to come back and comment and say a huge thank you for recommending it! totally blown away
Brilliant i'm so pleased you liked it mate! Thanks for watching
Just got it for the first time to see how good it is lol
Another great video Dave. That Meguiars looks like some good stuff. I like the fact it doesn't stain the plastic/rubber trim. The problem for me is I've already have about five bottles of other spray waxes and sealants I've yet to use. Full credit to you also for making the video on such a hot day.
Thanks Karl. That's my problem I have so much other stuff I have to use first but I really do like the product. This took today's to do this one thanks to my neighbor 😄
I used this on a client's car and detailed it again more than 6 months later. Most of the car still had decent water beading. This is one of my go-to waxes along with chemical guys butter wet wax
Nice one mate. Good to hear more positive feedback for this product
Thank you for this review, it was just what I was looking for. Would you recommend using a glaze first before applying this? I'm doing a compound/polish but wondered if I should glaze beforehand.
Great product. I used this on my black golf and it looks amazing. I followed your other video clay barred, compound, polish and wax. Great tips thanks
Thanks mate glad it helped you 🙏
Brilliant video Dave,at the moment I'm using mirror bright polishing wax and that's good stuff,but with this it ceramic your car,I've clay barred my car,I will have to give a go.
I love simple products and we'll happy with it. Thanks Steven
Hi Dave would this be applied before a ceramic spray , I’m thinking a ceramic spray is the last layer of protection that goes on as it seals in all the waxes and polish etc? Thanks in advance
Dave, does it fill a bit? Hope to use it over bilt hamber cleanser polish.
Thanks. Great vids man 😎👍
Useful information and a really easy going and funny delivery! Cool!!
Thanks Karl happy Christmas 😃🎄
@@epicautomotivedetailing Cheers mate, same to you too!
Great video Mate looking forward to using it soon !
Have fun! its a nice finish
looks great and the price is ok, love the colourcombi on the car :), thanks for review
Looks like good stuff. Enjoying the videos.
Thank you so much for watching . Yeh I really like it 👍😎
Great looking product. I have been looking at this for my car and my customers car for a while to offer as an extra service. Great video as always enjoy watching your videos very informative. Cheers 👍
Thank you so much Simon. I really like. I know there's always going to be the haters out there for Meguairs but it's user friendly and that's something a lot of companies struggle with.
@@epicautomotivedetailing exactly Mate that's what I think. Especially if am valeting and on a tike scale this wont take long to apply and remove and gives it a good gloss and protection I between washes sounds good to me that. And like yourself I want an easy product to make my life easier and have great results
@@simonattwood4363 you may like the next video. Im featuring a few more meguiars products
That’s the review I wanted👍🏻😉
Thank you 🙏
Will this work if I wash, use dawn dish detergent in a foam cannon to degrease, clay bar, and then apply without doing any paint correction?
Good video mate 👏👏
Cheers buddy
Hi Dave, as a beginner into using wax products, would you recommend this compared to the meguiars hybrid ceramic sprays?
Hello yes 100% I'd use this over sprays any day
I’ve always used meguairs,big fan,always had black cars too,thanks for the tip on swirls!
Pleasure . Meguiar's is fantastic 👌
Is this on top of a ceramic coating a good idea
Great vid Dave , real world problems with strimmer man lol. Looks like a good time saving product . I have not got the time to wax anymore . Only have a few hours a week for car stuff . Keep up the fine work mate
Thanks mate appreciate it. Yes it's great for making a car shine without the worry if powdering or bad streaking. On my test there was a tiny bit in the bonnet but nothing like the turtlewax review I did. I was impressed and to be honest when you out your hand over it you got the feel of a very slick paintwork. If you're happy to wax a car few times a year then go for it
Hi Dave,
So what is the difference between ceramic wax and just wax and why should I use this ceramic wax over normal wax ?
If I wanted to ceramic wax the car what do you think if I used a clay bar first but did different panels over a few days ?
This one has sio2 so the chemical element that goes into ceramic coating. It's hard to say whether there is a massive difference and I use different waxes every time so I say go for what you enjoy using
Well done👍🏻 cheers from🇨🇦 Megs make some awesome products.
Yeh they are a great all rounder . Thanks for watching my friend
Great video, very helpful and honest 👍
Thanks Mark 🙏
@@epicautomotivedetailing just brought this, have cleaned car today and hoping to do it tonight :)
Is it recommended to do a couple coats initially? I've buffed out the paint and used this...was just wondering if there is any advantage to several coats. Would think that if first coat is good then additional coats should not stick?
I’ve been told that you don’t want to apply another coat soon after as the first coat is still doing its job so you just end up wasting the product , apply once every four months or so should be golden
9pm at night at its Bright enough to film! Wow I'm missing summer! Watching on a snowy February evening when it's dark at 5pm lol
Love the Summer! its coming soon!
Great video. I’ve bought some today. Just out of interest, I’m new to car detailing etc. Do you need to polish the car before using this liquid wax ? Also, if I wash and polish the car on Friday but don’t have time to wax , can I wax the following night after driving to work and back or will I have to do the whole wash process again ? Thanks
Yes polish the car first mate. if the car is fairly clean polish day before and rinse off day after just to ensure you don't scratch it
Yes polish the car first mate. if the car is fairly clean polish day before and rinse off day after just to ensure you don't scratch it
Great Video Dave....Looks a bit easier to apply than Turtle wax Ceramic spray!
It's very easy that's what I like just a simple product that works. Thanks for watching
Loving the videos
thank you Dave always a pleasure to make them
LMAO love it dave keep em coming
Gosh I forgot about this one 😂
Thanks for the review!
Thank you
Just used it for the first time today Dave (@ 21 Degrees C) and I can confirm that what you demonstrated here (I didn't machine polish, clay bar) is really accurate. As it was hot this PM and the car panel had already dried within minutes of jet washing it, I used a saturated cloth, the applied the ceramic liquid wax, then wiped it off nearly straight away with a dry cloth. This was all after the usual washing, snow foaming, etc) Looks really great now its finished and it is going to be difficult going back to using anything else!.
I used this yesterday, I first washed then polished then 2 coats of this hybrid wax. Wow this stuff is amazing! The shine and depth of colour I now have is brilliant. Will definitely buy again. Just hope it lasts a while now.
A good clay bar and polish helps it last longer
Update Mark? Picked up a bottle of this today, wondering how it lasts?
@@Hammerback972 I would say 2 months, still some beading now but lost the same shine it had, will do 1 layer over again when next washed to see how it brings up. But when first applied it was brilliant and would still buy again.
@@markpitman100u said u did 2 coats of this wax and only lasted 2 months? Ya this ceramic wax is short lived and I'm debating if I should do it or not.
Think I'll clay bar , polish, normal wax, then try this ceramic coat. Tons of work to get the max shine but I think this ceramic wax is only for summer months only or rain months
Used it today. Love it
Great video quality mate 👌
Im going to buy a bottle and try it
Cheers mate I think it's great
Another great video, quick question, if I were to apply two coats how long would I wait between the two applications?
Megs recommend about 12 hours I believe
@@epicautomotivedetailing Thank you 👍
Thinking to use this or chemical guys butter wet wax. Now using surf city garage barrier reef wax. Using an dual action polishing quicker and because the pad moves faster i been surprised it lifted some of embedded contaminants from the paint. Once youre done waxing use a multi purpose spray detailer to go over your work
Glad to see it's a good product, got some for $7 on clearance!
Nice 👍
Great video. I live in California where so many of use a drive-thru car wash. If I use this product, will stay on for a bit after driving through a car wash?
I'm not so sure because the chemicals could be to aggressive
Will this stuff help with UV rays ☀️?
Helu from Quebec Canada! I did my first ever decontamination, machine compound and polishing today on 1/3 of my tsx 2009. I applied 1 layer of each Meg Ceramic product as Auto craft detailing recommends ^^
Well done did it come out wel
@@epicautomotivedetailing yes kinda! Double layer or triple gives a deep and shiny finish. It's also more likely to withstand water over time if you maintain it with the ceramic detailer :0
What did you use for each layer?
Hi, what would happen if I tried to put ultimate paste wax on top of a coat of this ceramic paste? asking as I don't think the ceramic looks glossy enough in my car
I havent tried that myself and ultimate paste wax is very short term so even if you got the gloss it wouldnt last that long. Ceramic detailers are quicker and would be better to apply on top
Can I use the compound and polish then ceramic coat the car ?
Great video Dave might have to try this on the wife’s car as I’ve got garage therapy sigma on mine .
Have you tried sigma yet Dave it’s bloody good .
Hello it's on my list of things to try for sure this month. Thanks for watching the video my friend 😁
Afternoon! Watched this video and had to go buy some, WOW! it’s brilliant so thanks very much for doing this review! Question, the Yum Ceramic vs this, what is the difference and which is better? Have a good one 😀
Thank you. The word ceramic is associated with sio2. So any product that tends to have sio2 in it these days is allowed to use the term Ceramic. Both will do the same job but both have different application methods. What's the purpose of it for you or for business?
@@epicautomotivedetailing just for me, I’ve seen you’re a big fan of yum but were also impressed with this product, just thinking when i run out, do I try yum or stick with this. Cheers mate
Cool vid Dave (no pun intended). Good review Haven't really thought of Meggies - always looked too American chitzy, like a bottle of Gatoraid (whats that for a name of a drink????) But you've made me think now. 😊
It's worth a go for sure 🙂
Oh yes a million percent I love it so much it’s been such a great product happy to pay a bit more for it. I even too it up with the detailer give it a rinse and spray that on leave it for a minute or two and then rinse off it enhances it massively
Epic vodeo as usual.
Thanks Dave, enjoying your videos. I have the Mothers CMX, any thoughts or comparisons between the Mothers CMX and Meguiars Ceramic?
I'd actually say keep your eyes closely on YUM Ceramic. I used it yesterday and feature it in today's video which I'm uploading this morning. It's probably the best one yet
good video Dave, worth using CLW as a base before using HCD on top. Loving HCD, just need to remember to use it when the sun is not shining. 😎
In for a whole week of Rain next week. Looks like I'll be filming in doors ⛈️ thank you so much for watching
@@epicautomotivedetailing also good way to watch those beads!! ⛈
Well Dave we used it on my car and mate it turned out very well.
Yeh it was superb 👌
I've never been so excited to wash my new car lol.I will be using this wax but I also will layer it with the ceramic detail and ceramic wax.
Can you apply this with a buffer
i just use megrs ultmt polish often shud i go for this or stay with the polish
Hi there. What would you recommend to me? Ulimate liquid or this one you used in the video
To be honest I think now there are few better ones out there. It's so easy to apply and offers good protection so depends on what you want from a wax. Durability or easy to use
@@epicautomotivedetailing ok, so what would you recommend expect these two. I want mix of durability and easy aplication.
@@mroqqq7871 fusso coat is great for durability and application. In terms of easy to apply then yum wax wins hands down above anything in my opinion. Durability is 4-6 weeks so its a regular wax but the gloss is unbelievable
Great video and funny 😆😂😍
Thanks Dave always a pleasure
Is this good for brand new car that is 5 days old? Most of the time it is exposed to sunlight and rain. Will this protect?
meguiars is ok. Is it the best probably not but its good for beginners
Hi Dave, did you add on another layer of protection on top of the ceramic wax? Great video, cheers!
I actually didn't with this one as it rained but I did use a ceramic spray few days later when I had a gap as it's the mother in law's car
@@epicautomotivedetailing cheers Dave! Your neighbours a twat
2:45 oh Betty!
Thanks for the review though, spot on! 👍
Thanks 😁
which would you recommend between this and the Autoglym Extra Gloss Wax?
cheers
Oh that's a very good question. Both are incredible. For me I'd give this the edge but only slightly
Thanks mate! Have been scouring through multiple youtube channels.
Your channel is hands down - the best!
Cheers!
@@dr.wanderlust83 wow just wow. That's incredible to hear that. Truly thankful 🙏
Would you recommend a foam pad or microfiber pad to apply wax?
Hello Jonathan, both are fine. I'd say microfibre has the edge though
@@epicautomotivedetailing ooohh ok cool! Thanks.
2:22 had me rolling. Hilarious! :D
Thanks my friend 😃
Dave in your professional Opinion what would say is the best ceramic topper you can buy please Mate .???
If it was a spray and you wanted durability from a single use then turtlewax ceramic spray has the edge but it does have drawbacks like the application method. If you clean your car on a regular basis and want something that gives a nice gloss and durability for a 2-3 months then Yum, Meguiars , garage therapy are all winners. My autoglym ceramic rapid spray comes out next week so i cant wait to finish testing
@@epicautomotivedetailing nice 1 dave thank you for your help look forward to more videos.
Thank you
Sorry about the Strimmer, Dave...didn't realise you were filming mate! My bad, won't happen again....
(Another decent video by the way: you're on to something here...)
Thanks mate appreciate the feedback
how is the gloss / surface after 4 months ?
It's ok. I live on a farm and the car gets a battering from the elements but it's surviving. Thing for me is the fact everytime i clean my own car (which is rare 😂) I always use an sio2 detailer spray to top it up
LOL. Never fails. My GTR got hit parked way in the back of a restaurant lot.
Oh No, my favourite car
I really, like your car!
Not my car sadly
Do you also apply this on the headlights and tailights?
You can and it will offer a bit of protection
@@epicautomotivedetailing Thanks :)
Can you apply blithe a machine buffer
Hello personally I wouldn't. It's so easy and quick doing it by hand anyways
This stuff is $5 at my Wally’s right now. I just put some on my civic today. Man it doesn’t streak like my turtle wax hybrid ceramic. Think I found a new wax if it lasts long time like the turtle wax.
I had no idea videos about valeting could be so informative, slickly-produced and funny. You could probably charge some clients double if you did it shirtless too, since you look pretty fit. But anyway, the humour (if not the language...) - brilliant!
Lol thanks for that. I have pectus excavatum so probably best I keep my shirt on 😂. The majority of my videos are like this. I love a bit of humour, a bit of knowledge and then I chuck in some sensible stuff too. My ford s max disaster details I did a few months ago I had a lot of fun with. Went a bit OTT with it lol
Ha ha - fair do’s, I like your modesty. There’s enough filth of all sorts on your channel to keep a perv like me going anyway. 😉👍 (But should a bucket of water accidentally topple and get you drenched well, you know, keep filming... 😂). Honestly, I’ll stop now. Looking forward to more entertainment. 😀
@@MrTrull1 thank you glad some people enjoy the videos. I earn naff all from them so as long as people are happy im happy
Which is best: tw ceramic or this meguiars?
Application meguiar's, gloss and longevity if say turtlewax now after using them for 12 months
I prefer the TW Ceramic Spray :D
I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that 😂🤣. I've got a whole cupboard full of different ceramic sprays I need to film a video on. It's insane at moment
If price was not a consideration, what do you think is the best Megs Hybrid or Infinity Wax Synergy Wax?
I like megs so for me I'd stick with it because I been trying it more this week and love it. In a perfect world you would obviously Decon the car but as for a go to wax to maintain a shine it's perfect
@@epicautomotivedetailing I've not tried the Megs, I am GT fan but have Infinity Ceramic Wax on one of my cars. Megs looks easier to put on.
@@patrickvennard838 The Beauty Of meguiars is the simplicity of their products. The ultimate compound is one of my favs. that with ceramic liquid wax is amazing. Im a massive GT Fan the maintenance shampoo is my number one for valeting
Can I use on the windshield too?
Personally I wouldn't. I'd go for dedicated glass coating instead
Is it fine to apply this product to PPF?
Yes but id say there are better products out there for that
Can you compare it to Ultimate liquid wax? M21/26?
Very hard to see much difference in terms of Gloss and protection. It's almost like they are bringing out so many variants of a product that does pretty much the same job when it comes to ceramic sprays, waxes etc...
@@epicautomotivedetailing Also, I don't understand why, this Ceramic is new and cheapest than 21, 26, ultimate liquid wax.
That’s one thing about Meguiars, their products will always be user friendly.
Yes couldnt agree more with. user friendliness is so important these days and in fact I think it's more important than the actual finish. If a product looks amazing but it's a nightmare to apply then it's not a good product because you can never get the best out of it
Can you use this on the glass windows?
Wouldn't recommend it really, not impossible but not necessary
Yeah, agree that Meguiars new ceramic liquid was is easier to apply than the wet wax spray on. The buff off on Meguiars stuff has always been good.
You could extend the durability by applying their new ceramic quick detailer spray over the top. and this comes in a clay pad kit for even more value. great for the average joes, but I would always polish after clay bar, due to the micro marring clay always leaves.
The only problem I have with this is the cost. Meguiars are always at the top end for cost, but the up side is, as you say, all their products are pretty much idiot proof :)
Good vid mate :)
So if found it for £22 on Amazon which was cheapest I had found so far so not too bad when you think how little you use. Meguiar's is such a strong solid brand never let me down
And thank you appreciate you watching it 😊
@@epicautomotivedetailing yeah 22 aint bad at all. might need to try this if I ever run out of Turtle wax hybrid Sealant (not the ceramic)/dry n shine :)
Do you guys have Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Polish and Wax over there?
If so have you or could you test for comparison?
Hello Matt I'm doing few more turtlewax videos. I'm not there biggest fan as you can tell lol. I've got another meguiar's video coming in about 3 hours. Thank you so much for watching
Can I use it with a machine polisher
No need it would do more harm than good in the wrong hands
Can i apply it using machine?
No need to do that mate
How about this or ultimate fast finish?
Very good question. For me I prefer this
@@epicautomotivedetailing thankyou God bless
Would you apply this to glass?
Personally no I wouldn't want to risk any streaks in direct sunlight. Perhaps cool temperatures
they need to add this stuff to NXT wax to make NXT 3.0 - it fills, glossy and with ceramic would be awesome
I love products with fillers. Not everyone's choice but I love the quick easy route. Still amazing on its own 👌
@@epicautomotivedetailing i might squeeze some in my m21 bottle and see what happens!
@@petethompson1282 go for it!!! Let us know how u get on
David, you legend. That F*-=&$@ strimmer. That Fiat's paintwork looked great anyway, that Meguiars seems impressive. And if you are impressed thats good enough for me, you are a pro detailer. Brill video. Glad you mentioned the different product results based if you have a garage, outdoors, everyday car, where you live etc. Because where you park your car and drive it actually does affect the product. Come on guys, lets help David increase his subscriber numbers. If we all got just one person through personnel recommendation, he will double his subscribers. We all know he is worth it. It would be great to compare the Garage Therapy Ceramic Sealant (£18) with the Meguairs, but the GT Ceramic sealant, does not have wax in it, as far as I know. Keep it up David, as your wife would say.😝
Thanks so much. The fact that you want to help me and the channel grow is amazing and something I'm truly grateful for. Sadly these videos don't get many shares and eventually fade out to no views. Got a few good ones that do ok.if you could help in any way I'd be well happy 😁
Lmfao……I loved your lil fit, that sooooo reminds me of myself !
I forgot I even did that lol
@@epicautomotivedetailing as I’ve gotten older I have become a lot less tolerant of peoples stupid crap and I will flip out in a second ! Lol
How much is it mate good vlog like product reviews
Thank you. It's about £22 on may. I put a link in the description below which should take u there
@@epicautomotivedetailing thank you
I think that was Mrs Jones, trimming her bush!
There is nothing more funnier than seeing someone from the UK get upset 😂😂😂 dope vid tho !
Lol being British I feel it's become a part of everyday life 😂
i would still rather wax my car .. but it looks a good bit of kit when you are doing a car someone else and want fast but good results. i use a petrol strimmer even louder lol.
Can't stand strimmers or leaf blowers 😂 . I was really pleased with the results I got from it
It is a wax;) I use the liquid ceramic wax + liquid blue ceramic spray + ceramic detailer (3 layers total) almost bulletproof lol
I’ll stick with my trusty Fusso wax. It has never let me down!
That's on my wish list. What's it like to apply and remove?
The Epic Car Show - Entertaining Detailing its super easy and little goes a long way.
Easier and glossier than Sigma or D&DSI?
I actually rate the Meguiars hybrid ceramic QD... Have a test panel out the back in direct sunlight and under a tree that drips sap... 50/50 megs and D&Dsi... So far (1mth on) both still perform and bead OK... Gets washed about once or twice a week with left over GTOne from my other details... 😏
Fusso can be a pain to apply. Trick is to not apply a thick layer. If its not forget it. It will set like concrete. This megs wax is so easy to apply and buff off.
Fusso topped with kawami 👌🏼
I think it would be good to do 2 coats of this stuff and then maintain it with Meguires Ceramic Hybrid Spray Wax after every wash... or ever other wash.
Totally agree 2 coats made a huge difference
What if you wash your car daily but it’s outside
It is so... ceramic.......
as a gum with orange flavor
....has orange 🍊 ... inside.
Brand s should stop.doing it, either with ceramic either with graphane....either with.similar misleading labels.
(I suppose as hybrid it works.bith with battery and gas?????)
I am sarcastic..
I ..love your videos you do great work.keep up sir
I used to worry about that but I think now I've given up on the ceramic debate lol. Thanks so much for watching 😁
@@epicautomotivedetailing keep up your great work and your great video's i highly support you, keep up strong....i know how difficult is and how much time and labor needs detailing and also to create great content.
Take care sir much love from Greece
i cut my grass 7am or 9pm. dont make them videos around that time bruh cuz im getting that fresh cut grass smell in your vids
Lol 😅 ok
