Even with its relatively quick drying time, the liquid formula was easy to use and won't leave residue behind on plastic or unpainted trim.
Shine and protection were on par with the synthetic polymer and carnauba competition. Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic smelled faintly of blueberries and was simple to apply and remove after just five minutes of drying time. Silicon dioxide, or silica, acts as a glass-like sealant layer to protect the finish and repel water. Ceramic coatings offer a durability advantage over synthetic polymer or carnauba car waxes. Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic promises cutting-edge ceramic protection in a product that's as easy to use as traditional liquid car waxes.
Slightly more expensive than other liquid synthetic polymer waxes. Some traditionalists consider modern synthetic polymer wax blends to be sealants rather than true car waxes. Polymer formula will not stain trim and can be applied in direct sunlight. Straightforward application and removal. Still, Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax is a versatile performer and worthy addition to any car care kit. Polymer bonding car wax technology might not be on the cutting edge as ceramic formulations enter the market. Some car care purists don't consider synthetic polymer blends real car waxes even if the deep shine and durability are superior. Shine and protection are comparable to traditional carnauba car wax and can hold up longer between applications. The synthetic polymer blend can be applied in direct sunlight and won't leave residue behind on non-painted trim pieces. A thin coat dried to a haze in five minutes and came off with about five seconds of hand buffing. The liquid wax was easy to apply and remove. The liquid car wax is formulated to be easy enough for beginners, and it delivers shine and protection that will satisfy long time car care aficionados.
Meguiar's has been in the car care business for a century, and Ultimate Liquid Wax lives up to its name with a combination of value, ease of use, and results like the paint on this nearly 40-year old motorcycle tank.
