I do not allow any type of cursing or foul language in my comments so if you see your comment isn’t where you left it then you know why! We all can have conversations agreeing with or disagreeing with each other with out talking like that. Thanks
This product works great for my rides as well . Thank you sir
Bosco Jones That’s awesome ! You are welcome

Now when you say "CURSING" ... do you mean black magic types of curses..? Because I've learned some new voodoo doll curses that I wanted to test out.. Or are you you against that as well ??
Biagio L Well I don’t know any voodoo cursing so I guess I wouldn’t know if you did. Haha
I've used ONLY Meguiars products for years and recently picked up the Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax and found it to be just as good as their other products. Its a great company and their products perform far superior to others on the Market!
FINALLY A REAL AUTHENTIC DETAILER ! Thank You for keeping things 100% REAL !Def subscribing !
rodolfo jr. Olvera Thank you! I just tell it how I see it.
if u do in dry paint its better result
I’ve been using this product since it’s introduction, and I’m extremely happy with it. We have two cars that are parked outside in a hot part of So Cal., and for the last four years I’ve used nothing but Meguiar’s hybrid wax. It’s done a fantastic job of protecting the clear coat, and the paint hasn’t degraded in our hot summer sun (100+) degrees. I reapply once a month by simply spraying on after washing and wiping dry. Easy. I’ve tried many other ceramics on my garaged car, but this product is my favorite. Note: after washing, I spray on to refresh, but I spread it evenly with a microfiber cloth, then spray off with an intense steam of water (fog pattern), no straight stream. I then use my leaf blower to remove water, and finish off with soft towels. Done.
Awesome review along with the explanation why we should all experience a product for ourselves, (especially the ones that get controversial feedback) rather than bashing or writing them off prematurely without even trying it first. 👍👍
My point exactly! Thank you
Whatever it is, it works great. Had a bottle imported to the uk last month.
Intro was awesome!!! 🤣 Great video. Definitely going to give it a try. Appreciate the honest detailed videos.
Thank you! I would recommend at least trying it once! You are welcome
I love this stuff! I use it on all my vehicles.I honestly don't care what's in it, it works! I dry all my vehicles with a Milwaukee M18 leaf blower and this stuff makes it effortless.
Just used it last weekend... didnt even take the time to do the initial rinse/wipe rinse spray rinse method. Just sprayed and rinsed. Works great for me! Water bead up and dirt rinses right back off 3 days later.
Adam Rosenberg That’s good to know! I wonder if it will last as long with that initial application vs the way they say to do it? Only time will tell.
got my popcorn made now to sit back and read the comments. nice video man nothing wrong with the intro. comments bad or good are pushing this video into recommended. that's how youtube works whether we like it or not
Haha yeah the comments are crazy! Thanks I appreciate that! That is true about how youtube works.
Just went to sam's clubs and got a case of popcorn
Ouzo Lou Garage Make sure you have a fresh case , when the giant ego , releases his next video .
Ouzo Lou Garage Haha!!

Tried it about 6 weeks ago exactly as instructed for first use on a F150 SuperCrew (same $5 rebate deal). Streaked and difficult to remove. Application partly sunny, ambient temp about 55F. Since 2003, I've typically hand waxed this vehicle approx. 2-3 times a year with #26 liquid (outside vehicle, excellent paint condition prior to Ceramic use).
After it snowed and rained off and on for a week, re-applied Ceramic 2 weeks ago as per post-initial use instructions. Again, streaking although less difficult to wipe off (600 gsm, Korean MF). IMO, Ceramic Wax is not durable. Pretty much irrelevant that it's super slick and beads water nicely 5 minutes after application. Try Sonax High Speed Wax. On a different vehicle, same weather conditions, beading beautifully 6 weeks later after a few car washes. No streaking, easy removal, long lasting beading.
d75095451 Thank you for your input! I like hearing other people’s thoughts that have tried the same product. I didn’t have an issue with streaking but I have heard other people say they did. I made an 1 week update video yesterday and it’s still holding up nicely. We had snow and rain and it did great so far. Only time will tell how long it lasts. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
Thanks, I'm just a shade-tree hand detailer. Light stuff, no "corrections," power units, etc. I've been using all kinds of light polish, glaze, cleaner wax, scratch-out etc. stuff for over 30 years on my personal vehicles. I have always like and trust Meguiars' products. I'm not a boutique detail guy.
I've got about 20% of the ceramic bottle left after 2 uses on the truck and one on a smaller car also with excellent paint. Maybe I applied too much but in both cases, outside application in modest temps trying to follow instructions exactly. Don't let it accidently dry!!
Thanks to you for the honest open-minded approach and effort posting your results. Keep us posted on your 6 week results.@@FABAutomotiveDetailing
They're marketing worked really good on me. I use it on my older black Lexus, I was very happy with the results!
"Hello folks... eh.. wrong channel"😂🤣😂🤣 Classic👍👍 I agree that you should try a product to see if you like it or dislike it & don't let someone make your mind up for you. The Apex Detail way of applying the product looks to be the most cost effective way of using the product. Great video, Brian & can't wait for the next one👍👍
Glad you got a kick out of that because that was my intention. Yep I watch videos but always make my own decision if it works good or if it is worth buying. That was the easiest way in my opinion. Thanks
....I've tried it , and dont think it's up to TW ice...close but this aint horseshoes
Ah man .. love the intro.. rewound it a couple of times.. lol.. you also threw in Dallas Detail " I'm no chemist " .. future intro may i have a little Pan.. love the channel
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the review on this product, I bought it and have it on 2 of my cars,I also apply it in different methods too.so far I like it.iam here and Houston and we have crazy bipolar weather here.2 weeks on my car so for and it looks like it's still holding up.and it's been raining for the most part of the 2 weeks.
You are welcome! That's awesome to hear it is holding up that well down there. Thanks for watching and commenting
I bought the Ceramic wax at Wal-Mart today. $13.97 a bottle. They had 5 bottles on the shelve. I usually buy NuFinish in the orange bottle and mix it with mirror finish number 7 from Meguairs. Put it down with a orbitor polisher. The new finish does last a whole year. Do not Put to much down with The NuFinish or it It's hard to get Off! I will be testing the Ceramic wax. My test vehicle is a 2005 Ford Taurus. I have 162,000 on the car. It sits outside alot. But the paint is in great shape. Today is 5-20-19. The NuFinish was still beading up when I washed and put the Ceramic wax on. It went on EASY! Put it on with a sponge with micro cloth on each side.Sprayed the Ceramic wax on the sponge first it was windy here today. Then wash it off with water and dried it off. The car was very clean and it shined really well. But will it hold up? I also did my wife's car a white 2004 Concorde with 160,000 miles on it. The white paint really looked good when I got done. The car has chrome factory rims. Which I Put the Ceramic wax on too. Try not to get it on the brake rotors. They also looked great! So, I will let this ceramic wax go for a month and see if it needs more wax put on or how long it beads. Shawn
Update on the Ceramic Hybird wax. Still going strong now. Didn't put another coat on yet! Don't have too. This.product works great. Alot of people are bad mouthing this product. I use it in my detailing business. My customers love the shine and durability. It lasts and lasts. Have done 6 cars with one bottle. It cost me $13.97 at Wal-Mart. I buy microfiber sponges for $ 1.97 there too. Apply it with spraying on to sponge. Back and forth side to side motion then hit the car with water and dry. That's it! Great product!! Shawn
Hello folks! 😂😂 that made me laugh. If people take that to heart they need lighten up! Great video! Was waiting for this. I'm with you. If a product works or works!! I'm about results! And the water behavior is awesome. Nice review brotha! 👍👍
Right!!!! Hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
Alot of detailers have very thin skin.
Yeah it was done in fun! Exactly I care if a product gives me results that I want that is it! The water behavior was amazing. Thanks brother!
It was all done in fun! Seeing that some of you got a laugh out of it made it worth it.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing That was funny
Very informative. I didn't know about the info at a littler after the 2 minute mark. I honestly thought you were going to bash the product regarding application ect. Seems like a good product. Thank you. BTW I watched the whole video lol. Never watched yours before, I subscribed.
Awesome thank you! Glad you liked it and helped you out.
Shineys is offering 20% off of the edgeless towels this month plus if you buy 3 packs of 5 towels you get one free! And you get free shipping! I bought 4 packs for $47. Thanks for the heads up!
Yeah I need to order some more towels also! He has some great deals going on right now. You are welcome!
Man I wish I had some place to put more towels!!!! My wife would bury me with them if I try to buy more! But maybe there's room in the back of my truck?!
You can always find room for more detailing products! Who needs a closet for clothes anyways? That's what dressers are for! haha
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing Well, now that you mention it, the bed of my pickup is empty ;-)
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing OK Brian, now you did it. I could not resist. So, Expect to see Mrs TBOD Saturday night looking for you because I am blaming you when they show up! ;-) Please don't forget to ask for me to make sure I am ok, Ask her for proof of life! She's sneaky!!!
I just got a bottle the other day and used on my and gave a good shine like if I buy dressing and it’s been 3 days since and still looks good and hasn’t messed up my trim of plastics
Next you should upload a video about a secret ingredient that magically solves all water spotting issues and not tell your viewers what it is lol
MILINICH'S AUTO DETAIL Haha yeah he never did say what it was. I have a feeling that “ingredient” will be in his next product he releases.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing I think it's teflon or some type of anti- surfactant.
Dave Schulz I was thinking Teflon also. Just not sure how he would apply it.
MILINICH'S AUTO DETAIL He actually already said what it was ...
Lex Diaz So what was it? I don’t remember him saying what it was.
That opening was hilarious 🤣!! Loved it!!! Great video!!
ADVERSARY NEMESIS Thank you!
Please Remember Beading Does Not Necessarily Indicate Protection Levels . Snuggle Fabric Softener Is An Excellent Rinse Wax . I Use To Work In An Automotive Chemistry Lab 🔬
Trevor Graham Welch Absolutely and I did mention that in the video. Wow I never knew that about Snuggle. Thanks
Sodium Laurel Sulphate is the most common synthetic surfactant in Car Wash Formulas
Yes it is. I use fabric softener all the time to get bugs off. Leaves a nice beaded finish when you spray it off.
please sir as i am intressed in you idea yust trying everything but i live in europa we do not have snuggle will every softner work and how do you aply it.
@@frits183 yes any fabric softener
It’s more advanced than just a spray wax I assure you that, i washed and decontaminated my Escalade a week ago and my god it still looks like it’s just been washed. This is by far the best “spray wax” I’ve used.
Daniel Parker I agree! It has great gloss and keeps the paint clean!
I own 3 Black vehicles and have owned many and tried numerous waxes over the last 35 years. Best results I've had is from ZYMOL Carbon paste wax. It's $50 for an .08oz jar, but IMO well worth it.
Daniel Fair thanks! I’m definitely gonna look into it, all I buy are black vehicles!
Daniel Fair I have never used Zymol but have heard great things about. $50 isn’t bad IMO if it works.
Daniel Parker Black is the best color when clean IMO. Hate detailing black cars but love the end result.
That intro had me for a second 👍
Haha it was all done in fun!
First of all, your intro was very funny!! (and I believe Scott thinks so too). Thanks for a very honest and to the point video. I'm definitely going to try it!
J P Thank you! That’s what is was meant for not to disrespect Scott. You are welcome and you will like it. For $15 and the little amount I used I think it’s worth it.
I enjoy your videos, I think you give us your honest opinion. I have used some of the products you have featured and none have disappointed.
Poking fun at another CZcams person is fine as long as you can deal with the repercussions. Most of the CZcamsrs that start their own line of products and begin to hawk them incessantly I stop watching. Some just become promoters for anyone that sends them stuff, so for me they just lose all credibility.
You buy the product and use it and give us your opinion. That's what I want to see because then I don't have to buy and try myself 😁
Keep up the good work and don't listen to the naysayers.
B Stewart ExecutiveCarCare Thank you very much! Yeah I agree and I have broad shoulders so I can handle it. Haha I appreciate it!
And for what it's worth, ANY wax will perform as this one did immediately after application. It's how well will it stand up for 1,2,3 months. That's what really matters. And those are the reviews that I find the most important.
If you recall my bugging you about the Malco wax you applied to the Jeep way back. Seeing it still beading up a month later (give or take a few days) sold me on it.
So I look forward to seeing the update on this in a future video 👍✌️🇺🇸
B Stewart ExecutiveCarCare I agree! There will definitely be update videos!
Just got a new car 3 weeks ago and tried this product. I am quite impressed, very easy to apply. Great Video!
Marc Schrewe It is a great product IMO. Thanks
I watched this video after using a lot of product on my sedan😂. What i found works good is washing then claying the vehicle while using Bead Maker as a lubricant then using the Meguiars Ceramic Wax Hybrid. It rained last week and raining all this week and the water slips off so much easily now👍🏼
I’m gonna try it when we finally get it over here👍🏻 I like the idea of using it (after base layer application) as a spray on rinse off product, for the cost of it I’ll use it every wash! Even on my digger at work 🤞🏻🤞🏻👍🏻👍🏻 great video, thank you.
MrFatdaz It’s worth trying for sure. I will try the spray on rinse off but I think it will waste a lot of product. We will have to see.
Great video. That product along with all Meguires product seem great
Thank you! Meguiars has come a long way that’s for sure.
Great job. Is there any haze on the windshield when you drive in the night and it rains? Thank you.
I have the same question. Also does it wear off of the screen and leave a mess over time?
This products works, and it is easy to use. My question is why Meguiars needs to false advertised as ceramic and sio2? Why can't they advertise as it is since this product is a great product.
ACE King It does work! That’s a great question. I think they should just call it Hybrid Spray Wax and leave it at that. I wish all these companies would stop using ceramic so loosely!
I like the first application when you applied it to the hood. 👍
FYI
13:00
Great demo and video !!! I am digging this product and will definitely get a bottle. Thanks for Sharing this video. I saw you on MeanBees live stream and wanted to check you out. Truck looks great.
Burnseys RT Thank you! I really like this HCW and for the price it’s hard to beat IMO. I appreciate the support! Thanks again
So you're saying read directions on products that we buy and see what happens. One mans junk is another mans treasure.
Yeah directions are useful sometimes! Exactly not everyone likes the same detailing products but don't bash a product that you refuse to use.
Hey I have used Meguiar's products for years with good results I bought a brand new F-150 and tried that new Meguiars Ceramic spray wax it worked great I tried each application like you and I agree the applicator is the best way to apply it cuz you use less of the product I paid 15 bucks for it at Advance Auto Parts if I got to do that once a month with the results that I've gotten I'm all for it you can't beat it for the money how long it will last we'll see but I've had it on there for a week and it's been raining here and water still runs off the truck I think it's the best bang for the buck the f11 top coat costs sixty bucks and one CZcamsr posted it didn't last a month on his Jeep and he put three coats on it that guy saved me some bucks nice video man I appreciate it
Owners of yellow cars shouldn’t be allowed to review products, or post youtube videos, or be employed.
mmodnao Wow you really hate yellow! 😂
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing there is a chopper builder that turns down customers that ask for yellow choppers.. he says "the only thing that should be yellow is a chicken" lmao..
Some people are funny ain't they lol
Joshua H Yeah it’s all just a preference! I no longer own this truck but I had a ton of compliments from people about the color.
Great common sense approach to evaluating a product. Very well done.
Thank you!
2 1/2 months of salt and brine for me and still holding up strong. Definitely proving itself so far
Shottz That’s Awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience with this product.
Similar here,been 6 weeks and still beading like crazy,despite snow,salted roads with both brine and rock salt,and I park it outside,oceanfront during work hours,2 miles from beach at home. So far I am impressed.
fish bowl That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope mine gets the same results since it’s my daily!
Brian's application is best because it will last longer,being cross hatched it will cover everything twice so you don't miss any area,apply thicker and at same time use less product. On applying it after the first initial application you could probably just spray it on and either rinse it off or use as a drying aid and work well.
I think it’s the best way as well. I couldn’t believe how little I actually used. I think when I use it again I will use it as a drying aid. I think spraying on and hosing off will waste a lot of product.
Good grief 7 minutes to get to the point...you repeated yourself 3 times!
zfilmmaker I do my best to explain things that is all! Other detailing channels ramble a lot more then I do.
In defense long is it take more than eight minutes I don’t have a problem with that. I just watched a guy spent 20 minutes explaining how to wash microfiber towels. Eight minutes doesn’t take a huge chunk out of your day. .
I got the biggest laugh when you said hello folks. I'd love to see the new Adam's ceramic coating in a bottle review. The review I have seen it absolutely works amazing also.
I'm glad it made you laugh because that is why I did it! One day I might buy the Adam's ceramic spray.
Well I have a detail coming this spring that is a friends truck. Maybe I'll ceramic coat his truck and do a video on it. Not that it'll get reviews but at the same time who knows we shall see this spring.😁
That would be awesome to see!
@@michaelcampbell01985 I can't wait to see it bro
I can't stop laughing...
Great video!
What you fail to understand, my video had nothing to do with if it beads water or not.
I used 3 bottles before my video by the way.
It was about all the false claims on the bottle..
Testing the product has nothing to do with that.
On a sidenote, meguiars reached out to me and could do nothing legally with my claims since the SDS speaks for itself and they said no sio2 is present in the bottle.
They use siloxane and a by product called sio4.
As professionals educating the buying public on CZcams.
We need to do our research and tell the truth.
If you're ok with false claims like calling something a ceramic when it's not and using sio2 when it has none..
I honor that..
SDS sheets don't lie, just look at megs xpress spray wax SDS, they claim siloxane because it's required by law at its concentration.
Even in this video you ask "is it a ceramic?" And you say "I don't know"
Are you sure you should be reviewing this product and have a complete understanding of what a true ceramic is?
Your point of a patent is completely wrong by the way with auto detailing chemicals..
Most can't patent because ingredients used are already protected or listed as a hazardous material if it's concentration is high in the bottle..
They hide behind proprietary when a particular chemical is low in concentration and isn't required by OSHA to claim.
Also the chemical that is needed for it to be a spray on and rinse off product isn't in the bottle..
So next time you use it on this truck since you have a base coat, spray it and rinse off..
You know what's going to happen?
Your driveway or floor is going to get very slick..lol
Think about it my friend😀
Ps..when you applied the product the first time to this truck when it was wet, did you ring out your towel after?
Most of the product gets absorbed into the towel and when you ring out, your sink will be bright blue.
I wonder why?
Brian with apex detail by the way got into a big argument with meguiars privately over this product😀
The things you don't know...
Everyones biggest complaint with your video is that you spoke so bad of this product and didn't at least take the time show us the product in use like you have done with every product until now! I've watched videos that you show a product and end up saying guys I wouldn't buy this and you show us why. You failed to mention to your audience that you used 3 bottles of it, all you said it wasn't worth your time. Like I said in the video it is not a ceramic and I have no idea if there is SIO2 in it. Yes I know about ceramics because I have a ceramic coated vehicle that I coated myself. I am not ok with false claims and I mentioned that also but my point is if a product works that is what is important to me most people. Nobody reads the SDS on every product they buy so why read it on this one. Whatever is in this product it works and that's what matters to the buying public. How long will it last I have no idea but I think a month would be good at that price point. That is an interesting point that when you spray it on and rinse most of it goes on the floor because I was thinking the same thing. Sounds like a good test to make in the future. I did not make this video to start an argument with any one it was just showing my point of view and what I think you failed at showing your video. It's as simple as that!
My other issue is when new products come out you never see other companies bashing another companies product! Could you imagine if a company for example Chemical Guys bashing a new Griot's or Adam's product on a video then releasing it to the public? No and they won't do that! I mean come on you are business owner selling detailing products now. Make videos showing us why your products are the best in your opinion and leave it at that. I have bought and stayed away from products in the past because of you but now your videos come off biased. I am just keeping it real and being honest with you!
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing I bash products all the time my friend..
Do you remember how I can't stand ONR..LOL
that was before I had a product line..
Nothing has changed my friend.
I have also bashed Rupes and carpro and the ridiculous paint preps in our industry..
Are you sure you follow all my videos?
What about bashing the two bucket system?
Should I list more?
I have single handedly help meguiars make millions off ultimate fast finish from my reviews and still push it even though I have a product line.
And don't worry I will bash any product that makes false claims.
This is who I am..
I'm not a sheep!
Keep on detailing my friend and if you want marketing reviews of a product, I suggest you keep watching pan as you mentioned in this video.
He has great marketing videos that never discuss the cons of a product and many people enjoy that.
I honor that but that will never be me😀
By the way I do discuss what's in my sio2 sealant..
Why would I need to hide that fact, it says sio2 on the label..
It's not a secret..lol
Brother I love you but you lack experience in this industry.
Shineys spray wax can do what megs ceramic wax can do..
So why not help a small company vs filling the pockets of a large corporation that makes false claims??
You need to wake up..
I mean that lovingly
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing I still recommend products..
What about eagle one iron remover from my latest video?
You are completely off base that I no longer give honest reviews..
If I find something that saves money for people, I talk about it.
I have talked about chemical guys products recently and I have a product line..
What is your point?
Your video was about bashing me and I'm so cool with that and it makes me smile😀
I hardly ever talk about my products..
I haven't even made a video about my AIO...
Here is something else you need to know..
Why don't you see griots bashing meguiars?
Because guys like you and I will do it for them..
Do you understand how this all works?
I appreciate the fact that you deconed the paint prior to testing, minus an IPA wipe, I see way to many people test products on already coated vehicles, please keep sharing experience and knowledge FAB
youngblood23rb Yeah I removed any type of wax or sealant during my wash process then chemical decon and manual decon. The surface was bare when I used the meguairs. You are welcome
Meguires says doesnt matter if your car is waxed You can apply over wax
Truthurts Yes and I think this would be a great topper to any wax or sealant!
@@nicstr28 And that is a good thing, but if a reviewer is going to talk about water beading, well then it better be on a panel that has been properly prepared aka stripped
You take a long time to get to the point
I love to talk and that's just how my videos are! I try to make them short and it just doesn't ever work out. haha I appreciate you watching and commenting
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing alright
Well help me out and put a time for me to tap.
Yep
I bought it, I used it and now I enjoy even more watching those videos, even though there's no point anymore!
Please get to the point, your video would be worth watching without losing Interest
midninte ranger You have to explain things especially all the lies people are telling about this product.
This is a troll?
I'm glad this year they're putting out a detailer, not that I'll use it but for the 2 months that it lasted it didn't like TW Ice Spray Detailer or Mother's. It would haze and streak all over which is why I switched to TW Ice Seal N Shine.
Ed Ruiz The new Turtle Wax 3n1 Detailer is great also!
Look ...everyone is missing the point. The man needs to talk and explain in depth about what flavor Koolaid is best. Some people like dpc koolaid...some like cherry or grape.....but...uhh wait hold on.....FAB was the Meguiars Lime ???
Bottom line is.....what the hell ever happened to Sharkelberry fin koolaid!!????
John I understand you koolaid analogy. This is the only Meguairs product I own because I am not a big fan of there products. I only bought it because I had many requests to make a video on it. This video is my opinion just like all my other videos.
Great review brother! I like how you went over different methods of applying it so your not wasting as much product! Hahaha calling a Shiney's towel and Adam's but its true they are VERY nice and I get mine mixed up sometimes also! Loving all the comments people are cracking me up!
Thank you! Hey it was just as interesting to me as it was to you! Yeah I had Adam's on the brain for some reason. Yeah the comments are crazy!
lmao so many people got butthurt over scott’s video.
Lex Diaz Not even close to butthurt I think with my own brain and don’t drink Scott’s Kool-Aid like some people.
Hey Lex , What’s it like being a Scott brainwashed robot , with no common sense ?
gkc booth lmao thanks for proving my point
FAB Automotive Detailing you made a whole video mocking scott’s opening line and then you say you don’t drink scott’s kool aid? how old are you? you look about 40 but act like you’re still in high school.
Lex Diaz I did not mock him the whole video. If you want to say i mocked him then fine i did for 3 seconds! In the beginning was a joke and even Scott said he couldn’t stop laughing and he understood it was a joke.
Apparently you have never heard of the Jonestown Massacre? Drinking kool-aid is an expression from that event. Everybody believed what Jim Jones was telling them so they all drank the kool-aid except for the few that realized everyone was being poisoned. Heck even President Obama made the same remark at a rally backstage that his supporters were drinking his kool-aid. It has nothing to do with be “immature” or whatever you are trying to say. People believe certain CZcamsrs no matter what as if they have no way to think for themselves.
Thanks for your careful review of this new Meguiar's product. I've been checking out several reviews on it &
the reviews all show solid valued product, is it Sio2 ceramic coating, I don't think so. How long it holds up is why I may try it. Otherwise, there are plenty of high quality waxes & sealers around that work very well.
I'm a big fan of Turtle Waxes ICE Synthetic spray wax & it sheets & beads like crazy, holds up really well too.
Chuck Pestacchi You are welcome! Yeah it’s definitely not a ceramic coating and I really wish companies would stop labeling products that. I have almost bought that turtle wax ice before. Turtle wax has come a long way since I can remember using them back in the day!
No. It’s not a ceramic coating , but it does have SI02 in it and I’m fine with their labeling .
gkc booth They should rename it Hybrid SIO2 Spray Wax!
FAB Automotive Detailing I’m under the impression, that SI02 and ceramic are interchangeable terms . Everyone knows what ceramic is,but not so much,SI02.
Fab not really sure if I agree with the way you handled this video. The actual review of the product is good don’t get me wrong, but the whole mocking scene in the beginning I think was completely unnecessary. You could’ve gotten your point across clearly without doing any of that stuff. I personally believe this kind of behavior doesn’t make one look very good. I agree with you on the whole DPC thing but hey you can always express your disagreement in other ways like disliking a video, a comment, or even unsubscribing. However, poking fun at someone publicly through a video in my opinion is not the way. Just my two cents here.
I really do appreciate your input and I knew that some people would not like it! The beginning scene was done all in fun not in any disrespectful way. In fact Scott liked that part of the video he said he couldn't stop laughing. I do understand what you are saying and I did leave comments putting my two cents on his video also. Thank you on saying the video was good other then the beginning.
Yeah no problem Fab. Still liked the video. I think a lot of your youtube success is due to your originality and humility. A true representative of the real world customer that just loves detailing. Please don’t get caught up with all this youtube drama and continue doing you! That’s why I chose to support this channel in the first place!! 👍🏼
Christian A. I think you were a bit harsh . All he said was “Hello Folks”.
We need to be able to laugh and take a joke . After all , it’s just a detailing product .
@@G17-911 a detailing product that claims it's a ceramic..
Let's start laughing about that lie first...
Because we all know it is..
And then believe everything else they claim about the product after that😀
How do you separate that in your mind as a consumer?
Are you ok being lied to?
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing Two words Scott. Prove it !
I think it works, I like it. I think it performs a bit better than their spray wax. But you sure do go through it fast.
It does work that's for sure. Applying it by hand the bottle will last a long time. Spray on and hose off then it will definitely not last too long.
I applied mine with a $1.97 micro fiber sponge on both sides at Wal-Mart. Bought the Ceramic wax there to for $13.97. It works! Don't know how long it will last. Washed and waxed two cars in a hr and half. Spray it on the sponge and work it both ways on each panel. Wash it off! Then dry! Shawn
Lol shots fire @ scott?
But I agree with your points tho
I seriously doubt any shots were fired. It's all in fun and we all love detailing.!!
No shots fired just giving my honest opinion from some of the stuff he spoke about! The beginning was all in fun!
You are correct it was done to get a laugh out of people!
I don't care if it's liquid plutonium; this stuff keeps my 440 looking shiny.
Dude... Don't quit your day job...
J.T. Blair Can’t please everyone! Thanks for watching.
J.T. Blair I think he does a great job, testing products and giving an honest review . It’s more than you’ll get from the “Giant Ego” in Dallas . How anyone buys in to his phoniness, is beyond me . “I love you all.”
Keep drinking that Kool-Aid J.T
Dude the best car detailing channel i have seen is car craft auto detailing in australia, Sandro is the best by far full stop, nothing against the other channels its just that he has done reviews mostly on all the car detailing products used in the pro detailing sector, so most of the detailing products used by car detailers and not so much the retail sector products ? cheers and keep up the great work. :)
7071t6 Thanks I will check him out!
The way Meguiar's says to use it on a vehicle that has no protection to apply it as you just did. Then spray 3 or 4 triggers on each panel and spread it out with the spray of the water. It is supposed to bead even more. Haven't tried it that way I just watched there tutorial. I have used it on a vehicle that already beaded and it will work by just spraying on and hosing off. Has to be a well maintained vehicle though.
Tracy D It such a good product and IMO user friendly after initial application. Thanks for the info!
I'm using it now, and like it a lot.
I washed and used it as a wax as u dry product, then buffed with a dry towel.
It is a good product for sure
Hey brother nice vid. I used it and liked it before all the hype. I personally don't think it Has ISo2 in it or it would cost more. It worked bad ass on my car then the hype came out. I dont think any company should sell under false pretenses, but they do every day. I think they need to rename it possibly. The product worked very well for me and I recommend this product to my fellow co workers then the shit hit the fan. What it did for me as a non professional was awesome. At 15.00 bucks I will still use it with great results.
Thank you! Yeah it works and works great IMO! They should rename it Hybrid Spray Wax or something like that. I appreciate your comment and hope you continue watching just please refrain from cursing in the comments please. I try to keep this channel as clean as possible. I do appreciate your comment!
I’m been used for two week I tried a lot products I think this one is the easiest to apply and definitely works
Jorge Cardenas It’s very easy to apply and surprisingly durable.
You should try the DPC Armour. Meg's certainly looks and works good. Brian at Apex just did a test and DPC came out on top, but Megs was a close second!
Doug Green I have not tried Armor and I probably won’t after seeing his true self in my comments section and others comments sections. Brian did a great video but he is friends with Scott and I thought it was a little biased. It did hold up but Meguiars held there with it. Waxmode just made a good video on Armor vs Meguiars and Meguiars outlasted it. I don’t have a doubt that Armor works though.
I finally bought some for my old 220k mile 2004 Silverado, will try it today or tomorrow. Nice vid, thanks
FASTFATBOY It really is good! Enjoy! Thank you
There's way too much concern in whether or not water beads off your car. The real concern is, does it provide protection for your paint? Does it make your car shine? If it does those things, does it last?
Tommynator666xxx I agree and I state that in the video but people on CZcams love water tests! UV protection is what matters!
That seemed to work well, if a $15 bottle lasts that long and provides protection for even a month I think it is a good DIY product. Good review!
I thought it worked great and you can't beat it at that price point!
Must spray wax only last a month so this is a win
Ouzo Lou Garage I agree
This product really good one. Apply once can last one month and the effect like wax, gloss and shine
It is good for what it is and how easy it is to use
It reminds me of Adams product it it gray and it a sealer can’t remember the name gloss and shine I think
Great And Very Straightforward, I just waxed my Lexus 2 Days Ago And Im Thinking Of Using This As A Sort Of
Sealant...
Nice Video 🤟
The IS Guy Thank you! I think it would be a great topper to protect your base wax.
I was at the grocery store and saw this product on the water/beverage aisle LOL just joking ... Great video review ... We are moving out that's why I miss live stream ... Found better place and cheaper . Work is going to be further but hey ....
Haha that was funny! Thank you! No problem on missing the live stream glad you found a better and cheaper place to live. some times you have to make sacrifices.
Great video bro! Keep them coming! Dont worry about the people thats always got something bad to say! They don't understand do it right do it light! Do it wrong do it long!
Maxx Ax Thank you! Trust me bad comments don’t bother me one bit. Bad comments help the channel just as much as a good comment! 😀
From Meguiar's website, the ingredient list : Water is listed first then : Polyalkylsiloxane with Functionalized Silica
I used it on my dark blue dodge ram and it streaked bad and left an oily film that I had to buff by hand for a long time to get it so you didn't see the oily streaks.
I think I'll try the water the applicator pad first and apply that way. When you applied it, it looked the same as it did on my truck and you had to put some serious elbow grease into it to get the streaking out.
I think part of the *problem* that some people have with this product is that it so easy to apply. And they believe that anything that easy should not work very well.
TED Schmitt I think you are right or they don’t want to believe something this cheap works just as good as their expensive products.
Gotta agree with both of you.
Yes Sir!!!
One aspect on all the channels is not one person has explained how to wash you microfiber towels, meaning that they all have different thickness or GSM from 50 to 500 GSM and depending on what products was used on each of the towels, when you need to wash them, is the soap powder you use strong enough to get rid of whatever is on those towels, like do you use as color safe bleach to make sure to get rid of the excess product which maybe in the towels and then, how are you going to know, especially if the products used is really good, meaning that it hard to remove even if you have a real ceramic coating on it and you tested the panel with prepsol to try to remove the test pane and the towels you used to apply it to the panel to level it out, which then has ceramic product on it, yet your washing the towels with normal everyday washing machine soap powder ?
I did make a how to clean your microfibers video but it was one of my first videos and is terrible. I was using our very old washing machine and we have since replaced it. I should probably make another video on it. You definitely don’t want to use a powder detergent. You want a dye and fabric softener free liquid detergent like All free and clear with warm water. I use to use Griot’s Garage Microfiber and foam pad cleaner with the detergent. Now i just put a 1/4-1/2 cup of white vinegar in and the towels come out nice, soft and clean. Then dry on low heat or no heat with no fabric softener sheets. I threw away my towels I used when I Ceramic coated our car. At first i washed them and was going to keep them but the more I thought about it I figured it wasn’t worth the risk. Hope this helps!
Do yourself a favor and soak your towels in a bucket before washing.
The soaking will help pull out lots of product before it goes into your machine.
Great vid Fab!! Well said👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
Congrats, your the 600th youtuber who reviewed this product.
Simon99 Thanks! Luckily I wasn’t the 601st!
I use Klasse sealant twice a year. Can’t beat it. But I’ll use the Meguiar as a topper once in a while. Can’t hurt. Thanks for the video.
Impressed by the results, kinda a weird application imo. Like to see how it holds up, like the yellow btw. Meguiars has a long standing great reputation they are not going to put there name on a product that doesn’t work and provide good results it’s as simple as that.
JM Mustangs I was impressed too! I will be doing update videos for sure. Yeah they have been around a long time for a reason. Thanks for watching
JM Mustangs You are exactly, right
you guys have no idea how businesses work lol
E Grizzle It’s funny that you think you know what I don’t. I know how honest businesses work! I’ve never been a part of a lying one but I know ones that do.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing i guess i should clarify what i was talking about. not to make this super long but what you and jm mustangs were talking about name and reputation of a company putting out products i feel is not how businesses are run. this isnt the old day were reputation was most important than anything else. when companies are around this long, its not just because a product is good. its because of marketing and advertising. consumers have been trained for decades to buy on "feeling" and "impulse" and less on factual information. do u think if that bottle of meguiars was $50 ppl would buy it? if it works it works right? no! theyre marketing has pursuaded the market to believe that based on there name and reputation we can put a few catch phrases and ppl will buy em up because in the end all the care about is "beading" water and the uneducated consumer has no idea how to tell if its actually protecting the paint because all they care about is clean and shiny and round drops of water on their paint. bottom line: businesses care about money and sales. without it they wouldnt be in business. im all for if it works for u use it. but since when was it a crime to use our god given brains to think and not just assume truth to what we were told or what we have seen?
what do you really say about this product? he is very good ? would you recommend him?
Thanks for the video. I tried it and, basically, it works. I used lots of it the first application. I suppose it is called "ceramic" because SiO2 *is* a ceramic. But it is a (good) wax. I wonder what is the effect of SiO2… Watching your video, it seems that using a pad seems the quicker and most economical way.
I think Maguire's makes a great product. I've always used their stuff and own 3 black vehicles. All look great swirl free... Thanks for the video may have to give this a try.
Josh Roberts Meguiars has been around for a longtime for reason! Black is hard to keep clean so that is great. It’s definitely worth trying
How do you keep swrils free?
How about drying it by just taking a few minutes drive instead of using that blower?
Great video man. Getting a bottle this week, to try. By the way, what did you use to do your trim. Trim looks great
John Cawley Thank you! The trim was dressed with Chemical Guys VRP but the water from this video washed it right off. My favorite is Adam’s Polishes VRT for trim. One bottle lasts a very long time for trim and tires.
In the MSDS for this product, which anyone can access, the ingredients are siloxanes and silicones, reaction
products with chlorotrimethylsilane. So the product is certainly depositing silicon dioxide, which is ceramic. It's very similar to Rain-X.
I only suggest you wear gloves with this because the solvent can cause skin irritation.
As for the patents -there is nothing in this that is novel, and patents on all this chemistry expired decades ago. Patents for new chemistry are extremely rare.
There is no "controversy", just a lot of CZcams clickbaiting.
Versus wax, it remains to be seen if this silicon deposition self-heals like wax does. It may repel water because the surface is hydrophobic, but this might still allow oxygen to get to metal through microfissures waxes seal up and re-seal when they warm up. This is likely why Meguire's suggests frequent reapplication.
Thank you for your comment! That’s what I have been reading also. My father just retired from Dow Chemical as of January first. He was a chemist there for over 30 years. They apply for patents quite o ften on new chemicals. In fact they have a team of lawyers that that’s all they do. Not disagreeing with you about the patents just thought I would put that out there. Yes it is very hydrophobic. Only time will tell if it actually protects the paint. Thanks again for watching and commenting
I used a clay bar , buffed , polished and added 2 coats of wax to my mustang and tried this stuff. I dont know how long it lasts but it made my ultra smooth surface kinda feel like bare metal . I dont know if this tax off wax or seals over what you have. Smells good and looks cool....lol
Spiritcr1jsher That’s a good question! I wouldn’t think it would remove old waxes but I have never tried it.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing well I hope it doesn't remove any wax ..lol. I spent a lot of time waxing this car.
Spiritcr1jsher I hope not either. Let me know what you find out.
I spoke to two of Meguiar’s customer service people about my applying the product per the bottle instructions. My results were subpar, had areas on vertical panels where spraying and rinsing didn’t provide coverage/leveling. Flat surfaces were fine. I told the reps that most professional detainers were applying as you did and right away they b9th became defensive and said they had no time to hear about the product being applied properly and pretty much ended the call because it was my fault their product didn’t work well on my 12 month old car. I have used Meguiar’s Fast Finish and recommend it as a superior product. Ceramic is a marketing hype word and people are falling into the trap. Want to see real ceramic coating, they are on CZcams. Save your money and stick to products that professional retailers use and recommend. Best to you.
GR0404 Ralls Was your first application done by hand not spray and rinse?
I have a true ceramic coated car and Install them on customers cars so I know about that also. It’s marketing hype yes but for CZcamsrs like myself reviewing products like this are good for the channel.
Your first application...spray on while wet, then your suppose to spray water back onto it to spread it, then dry!
Brian Rakestraw That is Step 4 which you skip on the first application. I did exactly what the directions stated on the back.
3 weeks since applied and it still looks great now.
Rio Armandaru That’s awesome thanks for the info!
You could distill piss and mix the water content with 5% liquid carnuba and get a spray wax out of it. I suppose it wouldn't matter since certain people are ok with juat buying a product without any care of what's in the product but as long as it works.
At the very least we can take the core marketing term used as ceramic and say that its sio2 based just the same as typical waxs are marketed as carnuba based. HCW on the other hand is a hybrid of a type of sio2 and something else. Its most likely a cheap ingredient mixed with 95% water since this product has horrible longterm protection.
OblivionDio I haven’t met 1!detailer or DIY’er that knows everything that’s in everyone of the products they use. I’m sure you don’t know either.
It’s not meant for long term protection! It’s like any other spray wax that gives you protection in between washes. I got over a month out of the base application which isn’t bad for a $9 product.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing
If it's not meant for longterm usage even though its an sio2 based product consisting of UP to 5% of an inhouse sio2 mixture in that 26oz bottle then that's pathetic when the premise of silicone dioxide and titanium dioxide both are sweeping the auto detailing world with their long lasting benefits over caranuba and others which is why ceramic coatings are very expensive.
If this product wasn't soo heavily watered down then you would have gotten much better results than a mere 5 weeks on your truck. On the other hand, if they were to release a more concentrated version of the formula then that would be much more acceptable so it would allow the end user to dilute it to whatever ratio they want instead of a stand alone product. Even Meguiars recognizes how poor the performance of this product is over water without an established base coat which is why they recommend on their website and label that you first need a basecoat before you can use it as a spray/rinse solution for maintenance. Better products like HydroBlue, Spray N Seal, Wet Coat, just to name a few, are't hindered by this since they have a thicker formula than HCW. They will also provide longer lasting protection. Anywonder why they cost more?
OblivionDio I agree there are better options out there. I recently made a video on Hydro Blue and loved it.
The same thing in synthetic blend motor oil. The term is miss leading. The term synthetic blend. Most people think it %50/ %50 blend but it's not! It can be %10 and%90 and still be called a synthetic blend. So the term Ceramic is B.S. But I still tried it today. 5-20-19. Now just waiting to see how long before I re apply the Hybird wax. Shawn
G’day mate....Not a bad video “bloke” 👍👍👍🤟🏿
noblemav Thank you!
why would it just be water?
I love yellow cars especially with the bold bright, and beautiful strong shade you used here.
Bobby Paluga The color had to grow on me but I love it now!
How is the self cleaning ability of this product?
If you like this so much you should try carpro hydro2 lite. It lasts anywhere from 3 to 6 months. It also leaves the surface slick and can be applied all over the vehicle.
I have heard great things about Hydro2 and plan on trying it in the future. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing no hydro2 lite is totally different than hydro2.
Ok thanks for clearing that up!
Stumbled across this review, but nicely done, I will still challenge anyone to come and tell me what I have on my car, this argument is ridiculous, silica, ha, I heard it’s less than a dollar a pound, I think by DPC yet how much is in the product is such a big deal... buy mine it has 10% in it but meant to be diluted, wait, what... so I don’t need 10 percent I really only need 5%? Why not sell 5% for half the price, or can I dilute again to 2-1/2%... i don’t use silica products, but still will challenge anyone to tell me what’s on my car. This review was good, thank you!
Thank you and I am glad you stumbled across this video! The argument is ridiculous I agree! He is full of hot air and trying to push his product if he wants to admit it or not. I can't blame him for trying to sell his products but atleast be honest when asked. Thank you hope to see you again!
Apparently we have all forgotten about Eagle One Nano Wax.......That stuff is still in the game if you ask me LOL
SNKY Solez I have never tried Eagle One before. Dang looks like I have missed out on a good product in the past. Thanks for the info
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing It's an older product now but Eagle One pretty much started the trend. I've been detailing for 20 years now and I've tried everything LOL
So between this and P&S Beadmaker, which would you recommend as a kind of top sealant? If it matters my base protection coat on my car is Collinite (it's a pain in the butt to apply, but I personally swear by.)
abraxsis I have Bead Maker but have not used it yet so I can’t honestly answer your question. It will be the next protectant I apply to my wife’s Jeep soon.
You don’t deserve the 13k subscribers. You deserve 13M subs. Great authentic review buddy keep it up.
Azaan Junani Thank you I really appreciate that.
Like the product for me the rinse away method does not work well I use it as a detail spray on black paint.
Stuart Blundell Yeah I have not tried the spray on rinse off but I don’t think it could work all that great. It would be great as a detail spray.
