Your microfiber drying towel for US links is incorrect
i feel like this is for easily boosting already present ceramic protection, and not applying the first coat
I reviewed it as well and I only had decent results when adding too much of the sio2 boost
Salut Pan! Merci pour ce retour honnête, quand un produit est bien il faut le dire et quand le produit n'est pas terrible c'est important d'être juste et le dire également.
Loving the honest transparency with this video and I would definitely say I wouldn't be extremely happy with this product! Meguiar's used to be my go for detailing for years until they sold out to 3M.
Great review Pan, totally agree with your view on using a pure shampoo and apply your own protection👌
Thanks!
Good video, i just wanted to say that I have been using this wash all summer. I have to point out that their specific wash mit you mention makes a huge difference. That "flat" side of the wash mit seems to buff the ceramic into the paint and helps it bond to the paint. I really like the wash and i'll continue to use it.
Yeah I have it too and it does make a huge difference. It helps wonders when blowdrying the car. Water just flies off!
Great video :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts on products and saves us our money by not buying what we dont have to
Thanks!
Great video Pan. I'm thinking this would be a great way to boost protection with a vehicle that is already protected because this doesn't seem to do much on an unprotected car. Thanks again!
Thanks for the review, Pan, much appreciated. After watching your video, I agree with your evaluation, I think I'll stick with my current method of wash and protection. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Clint!
Very informative. Thanks Pan!!
Glad it was helpful!
Tried both Turtle ceramic and Armoral Ceramic shampoo with much better results. Nice job Pan. Always educational watching your videos. Keep it up.
Thanks Dave!
Great review! Any chance you can do a review of the Adam’s graphene shampoo next? I already love their normal shampoo and would like to see how the graphene version compares.
Very fair and thorough test. I tend to think this product is a bit like the "conserver" products that dealer applied sealants often require you to apply (here in the UK at least).
Thanks Peter!
I feel like the Turtle Wax Ceramic shampoo does a much better job than this. any chance of reviewing it? I love using it, but id love to hear your professional opinion :)
Hi Pan, I’ve been using this a couple of washes so far. I wasn’t aware of the suds disappearing quickly, thanks for letting me know it was expected. My results were kind of skewed as i used it first then used the hybrid ceramic wax (yellow bottle) afterwards. I top it all off with their quick detailer polymer spray product. I get some very good beading up from the morning dew and it sheets off quite quickly when turning or stopping. I’m going to give it a few more tries and see how consistent it is. Ill have to switch over to their SIO2 detail spray to see if that improves things. Thanks for providing very informative product reviews.
Thanks for the feedback Lee. Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on CZcams as we surpassed 805,000 subscribers and 100 million views! I have been detailing for 25 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers.
You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
When used by itself on a vehicle with no protection, I guess that's what you get. However, I've used this on a 1-year old ceramic coated car and had great results. It made my water beading insane! So I'd recommend using this to do maintenance washes on an already coated car but wouldn't personally use it on a non-coated car. Far better products out there for that.
Great video again! Cheers!!
And I use my regular wash mitt!
What's good for a non coated car? Will any wash apply a wax?
Thanks for the video Pan, youve just saved me some money. I used to use wash and wax products when i was a weekend warrior and never got the finish or protection I do now from a PH Neutral shampoo and a paint selant / drying aid.
I just bought this stuff yesterday , and I love it. My 23 x3M bmw is black with black wheels, and I like how this works. I didn’t add 3 cap fulls of the soap like you did. I added 1 cap full of the soap and a .5 oz of the ceramic to the 3 gal bucket, however my car was already protected. As soon as I applied the wash solution to my car it was already beading.
Believing there is a market for this product, myself personally i tend to use more traditional products like car pro reset, followed up by a sealant or ceramic coating. I just put the Winter tires on today and applied a strong ceramic coating for the Winter. Another great video pan! 👍🇨🇦
Thanks!
Great clip Pan. Honest review
Glad you enjoyed it
WHats best for removing water spots? Had birds do their thing on the back of the car, I rinsed the crap off and didn't get time to dry the vehicle as the wife drove off to the shops.
Great review buddy I did this a few months ago its great
Does it make sense to use these ceramic washes if I don't even have a ceramic coating wax in place? Also how do these products stand up to full service car washes over time?
Wow! It's only $16.78 here in the US for the same product. I can't believe how much more you guys pay. Thanks for sharing and continuning to make great content.
In my country cost 34,99 euro = 39,66 USD 😅
@@MrDannySteenbergen België? Heb het tijdje geleden ook gekocht voor te gebruiken op mijn klanten hun wagens. Is inderdaad duur hier maar alles is hier duur😂
@@Dennisson13 nee Nederland 😋
de prijzen zijn redelijk gelijk als het om detailing producten gaat. Heb gister nog wat producten gekocht bij vermijl 👌
$16.78!!!!????! I paid $30 dollars and I live in the US !!
@@diegocabrera1830 That's inflation at work right there. It's been three months.
Hi Pan. Big joe here. Looks like a good product. I just checked it's £27 at halfords, a wee bit pricey but then you do get a fair amount of the product. Keep them coming Pan. CHEERS
As being a fan of Meguiars, I like the video very much!
Btw. Where did you get the bucket handle for the mitt? Very handy!
Here's a link to the bucket organizer: bit.ly/3I05apP
Love the channel always good content I have a question for you can you tell me what is the best ph neutral car wash to use my truck has sunteck ppf on the entire truck and ceramic coating over the entire vehicle as well you can suggest the best car wash they will not harm the PPF or the ceramic coating looking forward to hearing your suggestions on the best product for my situation
My favourite shampoo: bit.ly/3cWJZa4
@@PanTheOrganizer love the channel always great content of car care information thank you for your suggestion I will give it a try on your recommendation
Great vid Pan!
Thanks Anthony! Merry Xmas!
I think the key to using this is to apply the SIO2 boost to an already wet microfibre cloth so it is not as diluted. In their own video, their wash mit is already in the bucket and appears the SIO2 boost is poured onto the wash mit and then directly transferred to the car.
I use the entire Meguiars Ultimate line can I use ceramic as a finish over the ultimate liquid wax.
Hey Pan again appreciate your time and hard wrk. Random question hopefully it's not a stupid question but I have PFF drying towel from Girots Garage the big towel drying towel when should I think about replacing that towel. I mean how would I know other than if it really got I guess hard or fraid. I wash it according to your instructions with special detergent and low heat or or hang dry. I have a shiny black car I just wouldn't want to keep using it and eventually scratch the car. I guess what I'm asking is how often do you replace yours. Keep on with the great videos love your work take care..👍👌🤙✌
Drying towels can last a very long time if properly cared for. As long as it’s clean, soft and absorbent, you’re good to go. I have some I’ve been using for many many years. 👍
I used it on my truck and noticed a wax film left on the truck after everything was dried and then I used a microfiber towel to buff the entire vehicle. I did see a major increase of beading. Not sure I would use it for every wash, maybe I would use it once a month.
I'm wondering if the panels weren't quite dry enough before you tested them again.
Wonderful video Pan and that Meguiar’s products is great but the only thing it’s not so easy to apply and it’s pricey Meguiar’s need to upgrade a little more with that product but thanks 🙏 for the review Pan much love enjoy 😉 your weekend 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌👌🤙🤙🤙🤙💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
One thing I noticed today , I must of accidentally let it dry in one spot and it marker the paint , can’t get the marks out of the paint 😢, any ideas how to get it out ?
Pan - Love your Channel. Also love the 911 Turbo S. Can you do a show or talk about your view of Paint Protection Films and choices between those technologies and how to care for them.
Thanks for the comments about my channel! There will be a special video coming soon about PPF, so stay tuned. ;)
Yes! it does work if you do not dilute Mequair's Hybrid Ceramic Wash and Wax with water and use it at full strength. Pour both the Sio2 and Ceramic Wash together and mix. Spray down your car with water, don't allow the car to dry completely but while still wet use the backside cloth part of the Meguiar's Mitt soaked in the ceramic wash and wax solution with the Sio2, wash your car in sections. Also, allow it to stand for 60 to 90 seconds before rinsing it off. Yeah! it is costly. Use protective (Nitril) gloves for your hands and work in a well ventilated area.
Hi all.
Anyone recommend a product/s for great water sheeting. With the snow and more road grime being flicked onto the car all the beads dry to an ugly mess. Hoping sheeting will minimise that.
Cheers
Ive also tried this stuff. Smells like Capri Sun, but doesnt do a great job as a good ol fashion shampoo and wax/coating treament. But again...It smells sooo good.
Hi Pan - Thank you for all your informative videos. You are fantastic! I need to claybar my car to prepare it for a ceramic coating. I have a one year old BMW and live in the Northeast USA. Could you please recommend some clay products that are top notch?
Use this claybar: bit.ly/3DbEuPg
It only needs regular water as a lubricant. You can also use your own clay lube should you want that. Like this: bit.ly/3rpdhX5
If you want the best claybar on the market, this is it: bit.ly/3rpcy8C
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you - I ordered the Maguiar's Professional Detailing Clay (Mild) and I also ordered the Chemical Guys Claybar and Lube kit that was a holiday season special so I get a lube to go with it (and a backup clay bar). Keep these videos coming. I'd like to see real application use of products as a follow up to your "Best Compounds, Polishes, & Pads" Video. I like the idea of doing a "one step correcting and polishing" on my car once a year, either the spring or fall. Thanks again
I have a self applied ceramic on my daily driver and a professional ceramic on my 2000 NSX. I struggle with paying for a ceramic wash when the coating was supposed to last for years. But my question has to do with the ceramic product. When you apply a ceramic coating, you can't reuse the towels or applicators because of the now crystaline product after it's dry. Can you reuse towels, etc. after a ceramic wash&wax or ceramic topper? Thanks for the videos. Keep up the good work.
Yes, there’s not enough sio2 in the product to worry about
Correct.
super vidéo très instructive comme d'habitude, et toujours aussi professionnelle: bravo et merci Pan👍👍 . Suite à tes conseils je viens de publier mes premières vidéos d'amateur sur le détailing : j'ai une marge de progression phénoménale 😁
Can you review Jay Leno’s ceramic car wash in a bottle vs this & tell which ones better?
Always love your honesty in your reviews Pan, TY as always
Thanks!
This video shows how honest and trustworthy Pan is... Never biased👍
Thanks Yarin! I appreciate it. Although I do like Meguiar's in general, I had to show it as I was here, unimpressive to me. It happens. Not all products in a company can all be home runs.
So wash and wax soap first then , the spray wax ?
Pan, very honest review and very real video of you as always +1
I was too fan of Maguire’s products. But have entirely moved to Turtle wax products now.
Maguire’s products doesn’t last longer or give best results as we expect and they are expensive too.
Turtle Wax products are far more ahead in terms of durability & producing good results.
Your fan from Pakistan :)
I wonder if the results would be better if you rinsed off with a garden hose instead of a pressure in the way you would with Turtle Wax's ceramic wash and wax.
Hello Pan ! hope you are doing well . I used that shampoo on my car and the results were kinda disappointing, but I used it on my motorcycle (plastic fairings) and MAN!! the results were amazing like no other shampoo I ve ever used before.
By the way , i use a piece of microfiber and the mitt both with shampoo , so basically I apply it twice on the surface.
Great Video an usual. Greetings from Costa Rica
Finally a semi -fail video..
Good on panner for being honest...
Un autre bon vid panner..

On my personal vehicle I get as much if not better sheeting/beading from Meguires regular wash n wax. It definitely keeps my black vehicle quite glossy.
I've tried the new leather balm they offer and I like it. I'd love to hear your thoughts or a review on it and other similar products.
I prefer leather sealants and leather coatings. Modern leather is coated (like a clear coat on your paint) so conditioners don't penetrate that top protective layer. Hence why all that is needed is to clean the leather, and then protect it against dye transfer, friction damage and fading/cracking.
Watch my leather care tutorial I did with world leather experts here: czcams.com/video/pvKJXGRneJg/video.html
Just bought some Simoniz graphene car wash from the dreaded Canadian tire…wonder how that will work out this weekend.
Great video as always Pan. I bought this cause somebody in a fb detailing group recommended it, but after using it once I was totally underwhelmed.
Thanks Matt!
Thx! What bucket organizers are those we see? Any cdn links?
Here you go: bit.ly/3d1LAv3
And on Amazon Canada: amzn.to/3CTvrTa
I currently use the Meguiars Ultimate line from compound to Fast Finish. I've been think if going to Turtle Wax Hybrid flex line.
However since I have so much Ultimate line that will probably last, for my one car only, it will be some time before I go to that expense.
I really enjoy all you product reviews and your videos on how to maintain a car property. 🤠🇺🇸Texas says hi and great work. Believe I'll stay with the Ultimate line for a while. My cars 12 years old in 2022 and almost as clean as it was when bought new.
Thanks Michael! I appreciate the kind words. Hope you had a great Xmas!
I use the product weekly on my personal car. I apply the product with a spray bottle, microfiber wash mitt on the whole vehicle, then rinse the entire vehicle. I noticed that I have to use the product like I'm washing in extreme heat
Hey pan dude could you test the ultimate wash and wax from meguires?
Ever done a review on the best disposable gloves for detailing? Trying out venom today. Heard they're good quality. Definitely an important thing to have working with so many chemicals.
Nitirile gloves
@@ileanasantiago1807 Not all nitrile gloves are created equal! I've tried different brands with drastically different results
Pan, I think you need the Hybrid microfibre wash mitt from Meguiar's to for a good result
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Let me share my thoughts.
First, Meguiar’s doesn’t state on the instructions that you absolutely need their special wash mitt. If you absolutely needed it, they should have included it as a kit. And that would make the price go up higher. It’s already expensive for what it is in my opinion.
I followed the instructions to a T. I actually went above and beyond by watching their own videos on the product and saw they were only drizzling the SiO2 on top and not agitating with a pressure washer afterwards as most people would do. And I even worked the SiO2 into the wssh mitt as per their “tricks” which isn’t even mentioned in the instructions.
I also stayed near the surface as per their video and didn’t dunk the mitt all the way to the bottom. Again, this isn’t even mentioned in the instructions. So the average consumer wouldn’t even be aware of all the hoops you have to go through to make sure this product works as promised. Can you see how many potential failure points there are here?
So my conclusions are as follows:
1. It seems you do need their special wash mitt or a low pile towel. As it’s not written on the bottle, I can imagine how many people will run into the same issues.
2. If you do need their mitt, the price of owning that system is too expensive in my opinion.
3. I’m not a fan of ceramic infused shampoos in general, but there are other ones that are less expensive per ounce and work better with no special instructions or tools needed.
4. The fact that you can’t use this product with common sense and thay you have to learn tricks to use it properly makes no sense to me. This is made for the general public and most people don’t even read the instructions. So for the execution, this product doesn’t do it for me.
Now, I really like Meguiar’s as a brand and they usually make pretty good products, some being stellar. But this one just didn’t do it for me and that’s ok. I respect other opinions and if it works for you, keep on using it. 👍🏻
At least we can share our thoughts and opinions in a respectful manner. That is appreciated.
Cheers!
Worked great for me. Using their mitt really makes the experience great. Wash with noodle side then flip and wipe microfiber side then rinse. Beaded like crazy and no I had no protection on the paint. I intentionally did it this way to see how well it really worked. Try again with their mitt and results will be better
I might have to try their mitt. I reviewed as well and had bad results. Only decent when adding extra sio2 boost
The fact you would need to use their mitt, or a special mitt for that matter, just makes this a product I can't recommend. Also keep in mind most people don't even read instructions, and even less on a what is just supposed to be a shampoo. I think Meguiar's made this too complicated in my opinion, when there are other less expensive products that you don't have to jump through hoops to use. But again, just my 2 cents. And that's coming from a guy who actually likes Meguiar's products. I think they could have done better here.
@@PanTheOrganizer oh I dont disagree. I personally dont like the idea of having to flip the mitt after washing and find that quite annoying but I havent tried using just a microfiber mitt with out noodles to see if that would work better. Product is good and I too love meguiars, but I feel like the application could be improved some as well. But it does work great when used in their current delivery
Pan this is a fair test and I appreciate your honest analysis. Thanks, BTW, what brand power washer do you use?
Thanks Michael! I use a high end Kranzle pressure washer which I reviewed here: czcams.com/video/Cj4FDpKuORI/video.html
sincere man ever. thanks alot
👍🏻
I’ve used this a few times. Seems to work better if you use their mitten. I do get a lot more beeding.
I’ve used it on my car for about 6 months. I use the ceramic detailer after the wash. Seems to really enhance the water beading. I try to wash my vehicle every couple of weeks. The more that I’ve done this the water beading has increased. I do use the Meguiars mit to spread the Sio2 on the vehicle doing sections at a time. For the time it takes I’m happy with it. Going to use a better ceramic wax on the vehicle used this to determine if I really wanted to go to the extra cost and work for the better products available. 26:05
I put a full cap of Si02 instead of half a cap. Also it was a full-size crew cab truck. Worked great for me.
Pan you should try griots new ceramic wash & coat. I think they’re similar products but griots hydrophobics seem to be a bit better
Interesting review. I’ve had better luck with Griots Ceramic wash but find that it’s also a little finicky and you need to wash small parts of the car at a time to ensure it doesn’t dry on the surface.
It seems to have better results, but regardless, I’ve gone back to using a typical shampoo without any wax or SiO2 and just using a good drying aid or adding something after drying for protection instead.
I have tried the product. One of their videos I watched stated that the purpose for their 2-sided mitt is the microfiber on the second side is specifically designed to pick up the SIO booster from the surface of the wash mixture as some microfiber it would just sheet off the fibers so you really did not get much on the vehicle. I can say you could tell a difference when following those directions, when washing with the wash side it felt normal, when you flipped the mitt over and started wiping you could feel the "slickness" start to improve. I saw very good beading following those directions. I don't know what to expect as far as longevity but it does appear their mitt does have a very real purpose in obtaining the best results.

Exactly
but the question is, is it worth it over just shampoo/booster for about the same price? Say, something like ethos resist/gyeons si02 drying aid/bead maker etc. that is quick to apply when drying.
@@PanTheOrganizer I agree, they should rewrite the instructions to note that if you don't use the mitt you will be missing an unknown percentage of whatever benefits it has. I can understand them not bundling as a mitt should last for more than one bottle. I tried it as I needed to do a quick cleanup on a vehicle that needed some protection until the weather allowed me to do a more thorough cleanup, I too prefer a single purpose wash in most cases.
It will definitely not be my goto product but nice to have on hand for when it will be useful. I also agree the price is too high at normal retail, I ran across a promotion and was able to purchase the bottle and the mitt for around $22 USD.
I think you can achieve better results for a similar price by using a pure shampoo and a dedicated spray sealant or spray coating like the ones you mentioned. I think if you can spare an extra 30 minutes to an hour on top of the washing process, going with Pans preference will yield more benefits.
What many people don't understand with these products is that they perform best when the car is prepped properly. Pan mentioned it in this video but having a pre-wash and claying or using an iron removal product will create a fresh surface for the protection to bond to. Cheers!
I watched you video on the spray and wash.
I used it.
Good product and it lasted about 3 months out here in Pueblo Colorado.
Peace and prayers.
Thanks for watching Shawn!
22:20 EXACTLY! Nice review Pan as always going at it with real world demos showcasing the product!
I agree, honestly not to throw shade to any brands, respectfully, I think Soaps "infused" with wax/seal/si02 are just a scam. Even if the product did work, to think that you would have to wash your whole car with that soap and once you get to the dry process a film is left on the surface. Not to mention, if you miss a spot, it will leave some very harsh streaks that are difficult to remove, especially on glass, which will just cake your towels with "infused" residue.
So thanks Pan for coming out with an honest opinion and glad you and I agree with these kinds of things.
Mr Incredible Meme: SOAP IS SOAP!!
Thanks for watching!! Hope you had a good Thanksgiving!
I have this soap and will say. The bubbles are terrible but this is the only wash and wax that truly adds a layer of protection. I did it on my truck and it was beading immediately as I rinsed it
Hello Pan!
Thanks for the very informative video! I had a question for you about your wash buckets. Where can I purchase them as well as the dirt traps and mitt holder?
Thanks in advance
What country are you from? It will help me direct you.

@@PanTheOrganizer, thank you very much for the information!!
👍🏻
Man do I love your garage🤤. Indoor washing even possible. Did you have a lot of work getting that even possible? By the way nice and honest video 👍
Thanks! I made a full garage tour video with explanations here: czcams.com/video/gyehNOd44SY/video.html
@@PanTheOrganizer Only just read your reply. I watched the video and it's a detailers dream garage indeed. Everything in order👍
Try armor all ceramic soap that one is surprisinglygood
Good video I added a tad more iso and used a polishing microfiber towel my results Improved.
What type of pressure washer are you using? Does it come with that wand or did you add it?
I use a high end Kranzle pressure washer and added Mosmatic gun and wand. I reviewed the kit here: czcams.com/video/Cj4FDpKuORI/video.html
I feel like the hybrid solutions ceramic wash and wax works a lot better, I’ve tried both and this is okay for boosting a coating but not good for initial application. Like you though I would prefer using a proper boost for a coating and not infused in the shampoo
Why Meguiers hasn’t mixed both ingredients in single bottle but is forcing users to do it? Any explanation from their side as I can not find it in web?
I also have no idea as to why they would complicate things.
I recently purchased this and have tried a few washes on my E350 Mars Red Coupe. And seems to work great. However I discovered for a better shine and to really pull out that red in my paint I first wash the car with Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax (Yellow soap) and then I do a 2nd wash using the Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wash and Wax. Car has a great shine and the water sheets and beads up great.

I too am a big fan of Meguiars I use a few products from their line but after spending a considerable amount on SIO2 products I’ll stick with their Gold Class car wash & Avalon King boost spray as my topper
Hello Pan. Always enjoy your educational videos. I am moving into another home that we have been renovating over the past few months. Unfortunately , I was unable to install a drain due to the exisiting building codes. The contractor is going to be installing an expoxy floor covering. I believe you shared the manfuacture's name of the coating you installed in your new home in an earlier video. Would you please share the manfucture's name and the color? Thx.
Company is called Beton Surface. Color if flakes is “Nightfall”.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks.
Here’s a more in depth tour of my garage: czcams.com/video/gyehNOd44SY/video.html
Ok so can I use this in a foam cannon?
Think I will stick with my CG's MAX Suds 2 to wash and then use Mequires Hybrid spray wax with Si02 to spray/ rinse. Then dry. Works great, shines and beads great and it's easy to use.
Hi Pan, I'm looking forward seeing you the live stream with Mike from Mikes auto detail and Papa Smurf!
Awesome! See you then!
Great videos
So many ceramic car wash and tire shine options. Its mind boggling.
I agree. And there’s even more online, as auto parts stores usually only have the big bix store type brands. The prosumer or pro stuff is online.
That’s why I like to test products to help my viewers to make better purchasing decisions.

@PanTheOrganizer I'm currently using CG tire kicker for tires and interior. Considering armorall ceramic car wash.
Don’t buy Armor All stuff. Certainly not that soap. I reviewed it here: czcams.com/video/7B0UaAcl0xE/video.htmlsi=KpMjDZVDCGl6MeLO

@PanTheOrganizer what do you recommend...preferably a quick way ..rinse...soap wipe down.....foam spray...rinse....etc

I need your honest opinion please. What do you think about MF towels from Amazon. They came in for 20 Dollars like 24 Them. Thx
They are ok for use on engine bays, wheel cleaning, etc. But for use on delicate surfaces like paintwork, or more specific uses like glass, etc, it's better to focus on higher quality towels from The Rag Company (my favourites). Watch a series of videos I made with their experts, explaining everything about microfiber towels including which ones to use for which scenario. Here's part 1: czcams.com/video/6dy5PbjT1Cw/video.html
@@PanTheOrganizer thx for respond, one more q, can u use them just for cleaning leather furniture, Sofas etc. Yours tutorials helpd me very much in life. Thx. If you ever visit Bosnia and Herzegovina, capital Sarajevo just send message.
Which drying towel are you using? Any recommendations?
I made a video about my favourite microfiber drying towels here: czcams.com/video/079H_dpxlUo/video.html
My 2 cents , I found if you wash the whole vehicle with this product, let the panels sit , then rinse, seems to get good results. Secondly it's great if there is something else on the panel before , it's almost like a booster soap.
Hi everyone,
Thanks Pan for this. I had not watched this video before using this product (in Adelaide Australia last month - April 2022) and also did not have the correct (recommended) mitt to apply it with. I simply used a foam sponge, and then within around 15 seconds just low pressure hosed the panel without even trying to work in into the surface after wiping it on. The result was vastly superior to what I saw in this video. I really cant fault this product. The paint was similar to what you had as well so I am a little confused as to why it didn't work for you. With simply one application and a gentle hose off the results were SUPER! I will now have a look at all the results below and see if anyone else feels the same way. I am very impressed with the product and after a month the car still looks very good for such an easy one step process : - )
Once again, thanks for the video. It is good to get other opinions.

What do you recommend as a good all round ceramic wash wax?
The Gtechniq Ceramic Gwash. See my video on ceramic coating maintenance washes here: czcams.com/video/IqIW78FmRYU/video.html
I love the hybrid ceramic line. I own the spray, liquid, and detail spray. When I first saw this product I did not see a need for it, and I still don't. I always trust your review Pan, thanks for the content.
I am looking into their new snow foam shampoo, I could see that ending up in my garage.
Thanks for watching Niemira! Hey what’s your favourite video on my channel so far?
@@PanTheOrganizer I look for your "how to" videos before any other channel.
BTW I haven’t used it yet because I just bought it today. Bt like you said earlier. You like to wash and wax separately. I don’t like them infused either.
I wonder if this might be even somewhat decent used in a foam cannon and left to sit for a few minutes. You really can't expect much when the product is so heavily diluted, per the instructions.
Another great vid. Did Meguiar’s ban all the detailers from testing their Hybrid Paint Coating or something? The only vids I can find are random folks, Meguiar’s themselves, or a former employee of Meguiar’s.
I haven’t seen anything from Pan, Apex Detail, Wilson Auto, Wax Mode, or Jimbo. It just seems strange to me that a coating from Meguiar’s would be ignored for the most part.
I don’t know why the guys in the US haven’t tested it so I can’t answer for them, but for me here in Montreal I simply can’t find that specific product yet. It happens sometimes that not everything is available in Canada or in the province where I live.
Do an comparative test between this product and sio2 turtle wax shampoo 🤙🏽
Definitely not going spend my money on this one. Thanks for testing Pan, btw, do you plan on reviewing the new CarPro products released. I’m very curious to see the interior detailer , QD I think it was called 😁
I will likely look into those new products for sure!
I assume u would need to have already applied their liquid wax or ceramic spray wax. The shampoo is just a 'topper' not a last stage protection. If you're looking products to test may I suggest the bilt hamber range.
I have been testing the BH range. Video to follow soon. ;)
Hmmmm.... The only thing I saw straight away was that it enhanced the swirls on the bonnet or hood... I think it would be best used as part of a line of Meguires products as a maintenance wash once the car has been ceramic or graphene waxed..??? And use the specific Meguires wash mitt.
Hi Pan. Im a big fan of you and your video's.
But for this test you should try it on a coated surface.
Here in the Netherlands they are selling this as a kit. The shampoo comes with a 2 sided mitt.
That mitt really makes the difference. When you decide to do a test with this product on a coated car, make the mixture with your hands and not wih a pressurewasher.
You will sure feel the difference, when you you use the Meg. mitt.
Kind regards and keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing your experience. However, for this test, if I had used a vehicle that already had protection on it and had water beading, people would complain that you can't really see if the soap does anything as the vehicle was already beading water. ;)
@@PanTheOrganizer I understand your idea.
In the bevinning i was also sceptic about it. But now i now the difference. You should realy try the special mitt the next time.
I saw there was still enough in the bottle to try this product again.
Wim.
