I see this product as a shampoo to use on a car that is going to be polished, paint corrected etc. Would not use it on a regular wash

@jaimepontes3236 6 лет назад

Was about to make a post just like This.

@AmirAbdullah 6 лет назад

Yes, as a step after rinse this is perfect for removing old waxes and polishes in the event you’re gonna do some paint correction. Good point. I was actually thinking about dumping some old light polish I have into my soap and use it with clay only with the intent to polish after.

@Rocky-xx2zg 5 лет назад

That's the way I see it korky.

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

So Im actually finding this product very very handy. I dont use it how meguiars have intended it to be used.. As a wax maker Its so damn handy to be able to strip waxes from panels with a wet wash process rather than having to work abrasive pre wax cleaners over the panel by machine. Its saving me so much time having this product. Like I said in the video.. The product, is also DAMN handy for really cleaning glass out well during the wash process. It cleans glass so well. Its cleans paintwork more than just a normal non abrasive wash, but it wont remove that much bonded contamination in my opnion. Its not going to scrub off thick tar spots or remove scratches or fallout etc.. It is actually a revolution this product. Its really growing on me, in fact I will prolly never be without it now. So many times I have product on my car and I need it gone to test another product. Now I can actually remove it (most times) with having to bust out a polisher and work an abrasive cleaner over it. that is priceless. Its actually a very cool product. But Like I said in the video its a niche product, thats going to be usefull for people really into their detailing that have a specific use for it. For joe public who are not into car cleaning as much (fair enough) I dont think its giving you much (in fact the way meguiars suggest you should use it is generally going to increase the risk of swirling up your paintwork)

@bbdetailing9123 6 лет назад

Forensic Detailing Channel Absolutely agree with you. I won't use it for regular washing, but I will bring it out when a need arises. Glass washing! Yes! I was hoping to remove stubborn water spots off the side glass of my 1996 Jeep Cherokee with this. It didn't. But boy did it do a nice job cleaning the glass. Felt as if I had clayed the glass! Seems it isn't getting much love this side of the pond. One retail chain even sold them for about 1 US Dollar. I'll stock up next time I see them that cheap.

@maxburg4817 6 лет назад

Forensic Detailing Channel - It’s worth trying, but after a snow foam. But given I’m anal and a perfectionist, it’s still giving me sweats and a nervous tick 🤪🤔

@jt-2286 6 лет назад

Jon, big change of heart then lol. So if I was to employ pre-wash as usual then was with this with the purpose of stripping LSP, would you say this is enough to be rid of prewax cleaners? It'll definitely speed up the process!

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

the problem is the pre wash doesnt remove all the dirt film.. so you will just mitigate the problem I raised about scratching. I personally wouldnt use this like you just suggested on the 140. but sure i would probably use it like that on the golf if isnt wasnt filfthy.. I dont think its as thourough as abrasive pre wax cleaners. to really get it to strip you need to load up more with it give it a good scrub with a bit more pressure...

@maxburg4817 6 лет назад

Forensic Detailing Channel As a glass cleaner to strip the grime sounds interesting. I’m beginning the think on this one a little more. As you correctly said Jon at the beginning, this is a revolutionary new product and like all revolutions, it can be controversial. Thanks for sharing as always 👍🏼

@gotrixiego1446 6 лет назад

I've used this product for about a year. I like it a lot and only use it before I do a correction.

@Saamm193 5 лет назад

I’ve used this on several cars so far and found that using a snow foam pre wash first and the meguairs lambs wool mitt rather than the micro fibre one works a lot better! I have even managed to get out some small scuffs/scratches with it too as they suggest. Great product

@AllenMaestas 6 лет назад

You hit the nail on the head, it’s a niche product and it works brilliantly at removing old wax lightly polishing and setting you up for decontamination before polishing. It’s the only thing I use it for. And it’s how Meguiar’s should have marketed it because there is going to be a lot of people who inadvertently strip their wax off and micro-abrade their paint.

@JamesLS3 6 лет назад

great video. Im going to try this out. As a professional collision/body shop detailer, I look for ways on cutting down the time I spend decontaminating paint that has years of neglect so I can put a wheel to it. Going through steps such as clay, iron remover, tar remover, paint thinner/ adhesive "citrus" remover, any product that can combine any of those is worth a shot. I can't see 90% of people out there finding a need for this. It makes me uneasy how Meguiars branded and labeled the product being that I see it as such a niche use as you mentioned. They should have advertised as a reset decontamination "clay-ish" shampoo and I would be even more excited. Your views are spot on here man!

@attention2detailswchelsea 6 лет назад

I use it if a customer isn't paying for a clay bar treatment but I want to give the paint some decontamination before applying a wax. I don't scrub hard but it helps.

@JacobPrince12 5 лет назад

I use it for a lot of cars. 80% of people don’t care about getting their paint corrected, they just want it clean. So I use this to clean their car and give them a little correction along the way. I love it.

@BrianW1612 6 лет назад

I think the fact that it CAN remove LSPs makes this product a must have for me personally. I am surprised it is capable of that Jon so now excited to try this myself. I see it as a decontamination shampoo and it seems to work reasonably well at that so looks like Megs are onto a winner. I do agree with you that the marketing for it is way off the mark though.

@ClassicRed2159 6 лет назад

It's a solid product that I've used to remove any old wax or sealants and just wanted a quick way to wash the car but also do a fine polish on it in prep for a sealant of wax.

@motomarco_ 6 лет назад

You can mix a small amount of finishing polish with some of your regular car shampoo and use it just as the Wash Plus.

@normanmendonca2834 6 лет назад

Great honest review of detailing products. I subscribed. Keep up the product testing.

@Captain-Donut 6 лет назад

Maybe a good final part of removing protection before reapplication.....

@killacamfoo 6 лет назад

I've head of this for a year or so now, seems effective if you want to really get rid of LSP in an easy step.

@danielpickins4167 5 лет назад

Thanks for a well balanced review 😁!

@Matkinson91 6 лет назад

I can see this being good after a tar and iron decon process, something to 'neutralize' the solvents/acids and getting any little remaining bits of tar and what not before a final claying

@T4nkcommander 6 лет назад

Thanks for this video. Wish I had known about this a few weeks ago; would have saved me an hour or so doing an iso wipedown

@DripExplains 6 лет назад

I have this and its only good for a full detail not maintenance washes. It works very well!

@zavierorel2853 6 лет назад

Would love to see you play with this stuff and upload a conclusion to its purpose and personal opinion on suitable instructions. Like doing another test panel, clean it properly first and test the ability to decontaminate vs. clay bar or clay towels, a test panel to check if this actually adds scratches to a polished surface (effectively limiting its use to pre-correction scenarios only if so). Great work! Love watching your videos.

@jimflynn5105 Год назад

I hate washing my van, in fact I realised it had been over a year, so yesterday I gave this stuff a go and it did a good job. Had to get something into the bottle to mix it up because it does separate. Took a couple of hours giving the van a good clean. The shampoo suds up very well and I like the way you do one bit at a time and then rinse the mitt and panel with the hose. Day two effort today with a clay mitt and then waxed and buffed by hand. Still to do the interior!

@EuroBikerUK 5 лет назад

Bought some and have to say u put me off using. I have just looked at the Meguires site and they do say it will remove sealant and wax. Gonna use it for a deep clean before I polish etc but not everyday cleaning. Love the videos keep em coming

@autoallure1668 6 лет назад

I see this has it's uses tbf - Not as advertised by Megs as much but as a Deep Cleaning Shampoo that will assist in the decon stage - and deffo on the glass - We're a product range of our own but kudos to Megs imo. I like their MF system and this to me is another good product - Great video Jon !! Top job pal

@darrenchapman4437 6 лет назад

I will probably pick up a bottle for when friends and family ask me to wash and wax their cars ready for season changes, into winter or summer etc. Think it'd be handy to give me a clean slate ready for polish/wax

@R26Roman 4 года назад

Underrated channel right here!

@gspam154 6 лет назад

I think it's for the person doing a quickie wash at a self-cleaning car wash. Don't even need a bucket. I have used it on the lower rocket panels, when a regular car soap isn't cleaning well. Didn't think about cleaning glass, great idea John.

@VaporeonCompilations Год назад

I remember watching this quite some time ago and after having used it for the third or fourth time on my own car, I can agree with your findings on the stripping power of this product vs wax. It stripped my layer of super resin polish and my go to wax, which is known for its durability both real world and chemically. That actually caught me by surprise. All the hidden imperfections SRP masked and the water beading from the wax vanished completed, and that in of itself was mighty impressive for a wash product. Couldn't agree more on the ability to clean glass very well. If you were to wash your glass with this and use a product like Gyeon Wet Coat or CarPro Hydro2 (or Lite) on the glass itself, rinse that off thoroughly, you then don't have to worry about fighting soapy stains or water marks that you may normally have to deal with having washed all the other panels and rinsed them - I find glass is the worst for soapy stains. Thanks again for this video, Jon!

@seansean8008 4 года назад

I use this along with Purple Power RV/Boat/Vehicle wash and Clean slate simultaneously for stripping wax/sealant. I use PP and CS in foam cannon first and rinse. I use PP and CS in a bucket and keep it in my mitt and add the Meguiar's as I do each panel. Usually one wash gets the paint flat again. It is helpful. Thank you for the video.

@paultaylor9652 6 лет назад

Thanks for another interesting vlog, not sure I'd use it on my paintwork, but might use it as a wheel cleaner depending on price.

@mistermister8593 6 лет назад

Interesting video 😂 like the new car mate. Rare colour you have got there as well. Melbourne red is as rare as hen's teeth.

@MarcByramPhotography 5 лет назад

Have been using this for a while used to have to buy it from the states, but it’s now over here. As you say caution is key with this and is not stated well in the the instructions, the surface needs to be as clean as poss before using certainly pre washed. I hadn’t realised it stripped off wax as much as you say though so that is now also noted. Will be excellent for the next strip back in the summer.

@brettiansmith1758 4 года назад

Jon I have a silver Ford ranger, how I use this is after I have snow foamed my vehicle and after my contact wash to remove all dirt then to clean the paint and remove an old sealant I then use this shampoo. Follow this with paint correction from already damaged paint work and then apply a sealant afterwards. Works wonders!!! Thank you for your awesome video. 💯👌🏻

@mattblackledge9068 Год назад

I used it for the first time after washing and chemical decon last week. I was pleasantly surprised. It does seem to help deep clean the paint a bit more than a normal wash.

@clementte6948 4 года назад

I can see it as a great shampoo for deep cleaning (after doing all sorts of decontaminations like iron remover, bug and tar, water mark removal), prior to paint corrections

@binagarten4667 2 года назад

Excellent review and upload as per usual. I am no fan of Bilt but thier shamppo is good! It pains me to say that too!

@HamsterWheelGaming 5 лет назад

I think it's a great product but for a very niche purpose. It's a nice 'bang for your buck' claybar treatment within a soap which is great cause usually after claybar you're going to have to polish the car to get the paintwork up to snuff. However, this in combination with an Iron remover means you get somewhat of a similar result as claybar without having to polish the car after, which is great for people who don't want a very comprehensive detail on their car

@berczigabor 6 лет назад

It's probably useful for pre-polish wash of a neglected car, and might make claybaring superfluous, or at least a lot faster and easier

@jawadarif5676 5 лет назад

I used this at part of paint corrections, I also used clay mitt with it, remove a hell lot of dirt , that when it uses the clay bar they has hardley any dirt on it

@cesarignjas 6 лет назад

Sounds like a good Shampoo to use before going out and polish your car, could potentially remove the need to clay bar your car, saving some time, it is indeed, hummm, interesting! I can see me using it in my wife´s car, it is a van that sits outside, my wife don´t take proper care of the car so I use Fuso Wax, the strong stuff to protect a little from the enviroment, bird crap, etc... I apply it once every season (the car is barely cleaned once a month...), so 4 times a year and I don´t realy care if the car needs polishing or not to remove marks, it is not going to be showroom car, I just need the protection that prevents the paint from cracking and fading over time as we intend to keep the car for years to come, so, I think I may try this product to wash that car before the application of this wax.

@tobyhigginbotham2564 6 лет назад

A great product to use before a paint correction job or to strip wax & road debris to apply a new wax or sealant.

@danlc95 6 лет назад

I would use this in a situation where I will be doing some type of machine polishing.

@pmcn1980 5 лет назад

I use this wash all the time and I think it is great

@Uszat89 11 месяцев назад

I've been searching for a product that would remove my botched Kochchemie protector wax. It dried up on my bonnet before i rinsed it off and left long streaky stains. I've been trying Dishsoap, Citrus Cleaners, TFRs, APC and no success.. i might give it a try. Great video. As always!

@cliffgray9155 6 лет назад

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

its worth having. Im gonna do a little sticky post on this stuff to explain. if you buy get it from halfords actually.

@Leshrac92 6 лет назад

It is not a product to maintain a car but to use before a complete preparation of detailing I guess. it can save time on decontamination maybe.

@multiplitude Год назад

I usually use this shampoo after a foam application in carwash station. After Washing my car with it, i apply sonax spray ans seal for protection (an hydrophic spray and seal product to apply on a wet car). This combo is verry good. I do thid every 2 months.

@Jeff_Seely 2 года назад

I'd only use it for the attempt at stripping newer paint sealants. Therefore it wouldn't be my first car that day. I'll have to test this usage. Thanks!

@isctony 6 лет назад

Now you see, this kind of product may work in a sunshine state like florida where dirt to their cars is actually like dust on ours, therefore a rinse will work before using the product. Where as here in the UK dirt is a lot more damaging and road film is not removed by simple rinsing. The product is certainly not suitable for a detailer, but it delivers for someone looking for an effective cleaner as the abrasive will take a lot off. for the general public clean but scratched paint is still clean paint.

@joeb5924 6 лет назад

Sounds like to me you would use this after already cleaning the car with regular shampoo but before tackling with a claybar and chemical decontamination process. In that respect I can see a use for it but I wouldn't be using it on a dirty panel, in the same respect as greaselightening / Williams product which doesn't require water but they say it will clean a dirty car

@patrickroos739 6 лет назад

This product is quickly becoming popular as a wax/sealant stripping product. Great product if Your into detailing and know how to use it. But agree with Your reasoning that it will scratch and damage if used per instructions on a dirty car. Good warning there for the general car owner.But this is nothing new, products like this e.g. shampoos with abrasives have been around for a long time. Usually called "cleaner shampoo" or "super wash" or something. Sometimes also with some protection in the mix. As one example also Sonax has this in their range; Sonax WaschPolitur = Wash polish. Thanks for yet another great vid Cheers

@stevenjones19-m8i 6 лет назад

Hi, its seems like good stuff but washing it is different from using a normal car shampoo,i like to wash a car without abrasives and not worry about taking your time.

@TheVeyron81 6 лет назад

Sounds like they’ve tried to produce a clay shampoo hybrid. Interesting

@peterwood2633 5 лет назад

Right I'm going to consider this for stripping down cars. Currently use chemical guys citrus wash and gloss at high concentration, may still do that then use this shampoo. Do you have to spend time working it into each panel or is it a one-pass sort of deal?

@7071t6 6 лет назад

Question for you auto Gym glass polish can it be used safely on the inside of the rear window due to the demising lines and also with HID type windscreens on the inside can it be used due to the factory blackout areas etc. The car panel would not be squeaking at all if it had a good coating of polish over it even if it was wet, i use my rubber gloves and see it the rubber gloves stick to the panels at all ? I think this is reading too much into it, but at the same time its good to point out the issues in instructions when for the most part most people with good cars pay other people to detail it, but for the normal person at home like me, i use the 3 step process, 1. evaluate the paint surface and determine which is best, ie: Just go over it with a waterless detailer, or Wash it with a good wax or mild soap and microfiber hand mit and then dry it off with air pressure. 2. Use a spray of wax or quick detailer spray. 3. make sure any slight swirls are removed by swirl remover and then do the rest of the car ie: rims, tyres and glass and inside the car as well, The outside glass areas will have wax on it and thats the main reason why you get swirls, so basically using a glass polish paste like auto gym is the best, which removes any wax etc and also you can see which areas you have done as well,the same on the inside of the glass ?

@soundworksvectra 5 лет назад

Could it be used as a fairly safe alternative to claying? Say after already washing the car normally with a general shampoo?

@sampatterson9359 6 лет назад

Great video as always. Liked the part where you showed the micro scratches. Made me think if you could ever do a 50/50 comparison with wash methods on a polished panel. Compare sraight motion wash passes and circular and test the circular scratches create swirls myth.

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

the scratch marks are not the product though.. they are just to show what happens if you use a product in the way meguiars suggest. If you watch the meguiars you tube advert for the product. I do nothing different.

@sampatterson9359 6 лет назад

Forensic Detailing Channel Sorry, I meant washing a dirty panel as a test for a future video. Nothing to do with the product thought, haha.

@soundworksvectra 4 года назад

Use this now as part of the decon steps and prior to doing some minor correction. Also found it great for uPVC window frames?

@morbidangel5249 5 лет назад

Great on glass . And to save time on washing your work van if you go to the garage on the way home jet wash your van off and instead of scratching it to pieces with the brush , just take this and a mitt . Then you've got longer to detail your car on Saturday

@yellobelly420 6 лет назад

4:55 Squeeky finish 😂😂😂🤣🤣 I nearly wet myself!!

@TheNotimprezed 6 лет назад

I would like to see some additional testing, specifically; 1-On a corrected, clean panel, does the product leave micromarring 2-Wash a dirty panel with it, then hit the panel with a fallout remover. Did the Megs remove the fallout or was a significant portion left behind? 3-Wash a dirty panel with it, then clay bar the panel. How much contamination was left and picked up with the clay? 4-How does it fare vs bugs. We have a lot of them here and I haven't found a magic bullet for them other than scrubbing with a bug sponge.

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

1) the product does not micromarr.. if any product did this it would be a momumental turkey. 2) not sure what this test is proving? 3) that could be interesting. I think you would need a really heavily contaminated panel. I dont think megs wash plus will strip much contaminant. A little bit. 4) It helps a little bit with stuck on crap.. but to be honest. its not solving the bug removal problem because of the abraives. the contact with the mitt is the thing with shifts the crap off more than the abrasives.

@TheNotimprezed 6 лет назад

Thanks for the reply, I mostly wanted a sense of this products ability to remove bonded contaminants that we would normally use other products for. I think I'll stick with the usual shampoos and clay when needed.

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

you raised some good points. I didnt say hello either sorry. I get into the habbit of flying through the comments firing off answers without saying hello :) its ability to remove bonded contaminants is pretty minimal imo.. very hard to say.. but if you had a visable spot of tar on your car and you tried to scrub it off with this.. you would fail. It will help lift the stuff that you generally cant see that makes the paint feel rough.. so it will do a bit of very light decon generally.

@AJ-nl8bg 6 лет назад

I havent used this as its not available to me but I see this as a product to strip old LSP and prep paint for new sealants or waxes. For someone who likes trying new stuff all the time this would be a very usefull product on cars that are very well maintained. I would however not use it as a wash shampoo (I would still wash the car in a more traditional way and use Megs wash + after wash to strip the old wax and prepare paint for new). BTW you can make your own abrasive car shampoo. Just mix a bit of finishing polish and a pure shampoo and it will work similar to Megs wash plus.

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

hmm interesting :) how much is a bit though? and what else is in the carrier systems of all these different finishing polishes? Always gotta be carefull when you go off-piste with products :) could work though.

@AJ-nl8bg 6 лет назад

That is where you have to test a bit. Ive put about 5ml of Menz 3500 to 50ml of shampoo. I feel it wasnt strong enough so perhaps more polish would have been needed. You can check out this vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bUlznnllcac.html Its in German but its pretty much self explanatory.

@nicorallysport 2 года назад

Today with much more hindsight, meguiar's wash plus ➕ is a great shampoo when used a little differently from meguiar's direction!. Example for a complete decontamination it is an excellent base. You need a good prewash (snow foam or apc), a good rinse to remove as much debris as possible, road film, etc. A ferrous decontamination step, rinsing. And right now it's a great shampoo. Because it effectively erases wax, sealant, spray, a test on the xaronfr channel even managed to remove a certain amount of ceramic by insisting a little with the glove and the shampoo. Too bad meguiar's discontinued it, because it really is a great decontamination shampoo before the other steps to put on a coating. Even for the mechanical decontamination step with clay bar, using meguiar's wash plus can then help the clay bar to have fewer things to remove.

@jonnybravo3055 4 года назад

It's been discontinued in the US so I've heard. I might stock up on a few bottles.

@gary7323 3 года назад

Sounds like a interesting product 😌

@pavelmartynovic8761 6 лет назад

Probably good product for prep the car before polishing. Some extra stage before or after claying imo. But no way for maintenance the car, especially if car is coated with protective layer... Anyway "must to try" product for me.

@XBOW83 2 года назад

I will try this product to prepare panel (carbone and paint surface) to accept PPF/ vinyle and remove Old wax. A very particular utilsation with a niche product, lets see how its work :)

@sergiosequeira76 6 лет назад

It would be very "INTERESTING" if you washed and dried that test panel half with the wash+ and the other half in the "safest way"you see fit and compared the results. The reason is I've tried so many times to correct paint and no matter how carful I wash it end up with swirls (maybe is me...)now I just wash carefully and correct once a year a lot less stressful.

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

it would yer.. I think may well correct up the bonnet. but a line of tape with a raised folder in the tape line. wash one half with a safe method a good mitt etc.. wash the other half by rinsing and using this product as described. thing is its not going to show anything people dont already know. If you work dirt over your paintwork you generally scratch it. the mitt choice plays an important role as well. pre wash important too.. pressure from a pressure washer can be important

@sergiosequeira76 6 лет назад

Forensic Detailing Channel I I wash my car very carefully and light swirls always came up eventually, actually I've bought the wash+ a month ago and also noticed my (never ending high definition wax tube) being removed from the paint now I end my weekly wash with Meguiars fast finish so protection is always there

@Carlos.Rivera 6 лет назад

Basically if i want to re-wax my car, i use this shampoo to strip old wax (and a little decon) tgen procede to apply fresh wax on it... right?

@lukecapone7227 4 года назад

So I’m looking to put a new layer of wax on, so could I use this after a pre, snow foam and two bucket before I start a decon?

@davidleitch3199 5 лет назад

I used Meguiars WPS to wash my car with a buck full of water and foam first then rinsed. Then I washed again applying it directly to the mitt scrubbed with medium pressure and rinsed. I am convinced it removed some very sharp bonded contaminates. It does strip wax it is not a maintenance wash product. I clay barred after and my clay step went much quicker. My plan is to machine polish then wax. I agree I would not use it again unless I am intent on waxing that cycle. I will bring out and use it for windows anytime.

@ForensicDetailing 5 лет назад

agree david, I use it for my intense cleaning. problem is meguiars interface with the wider market. This product is actually very usefull for the small niche market as more of a decon preperation wash.. helpfull for removing product, old waxes etc. really getting at the paintwork. they created a vision for it to present to the wider market. you can see that vision in their advert video for it. It would have scared a lot of people off if the product decription talked about removing protection etc.. dunno but I would have loved them to define it in a way that meant people could actually utilise it properly even if they meant they sold less. easy for me to say though.

@smr120 4 года назад

If I use Meguiars Wash Plus, do i still need to use an IPA/ Surface cleanser like chemical guys clean slate or Car Pro Eraser after or before using wash plus, if i am planning to wax?

I used Mguires ultimate polish but didn't notice the little hard to see tab where the instructions are..having never polished a car before and not seeing instructions after carwash I just covered the car..yeah man..nightmare time I suggested have the tab a different colour like red..yellow would be better..any advice from them was to use this product..hence I'm watching a 3yr old video ty

On just about any product I first test it out on a clear glass panel. Any harm or mess the product is going to do will show up plainly. Now glass is harder than clear coat. So if you like you can also use a sheet of glass that has been treated with protective coating. I use a discarded windshield with just such a coating.

Do you think this product is removing wash mitt induced scratching real time. I personally see this as the future. They can formulate the polish to counter the dirt based scratches real time.

@alanoconnor6742 4 года назад

I know the main feature that Meguiar's is marketing with this soap is the ability to put it directly on a wash mitt. I too was skeptical when I first saw this and it's that skepticism that has kept me away. The process just makes me nervous. However, I haven't seen anyone on RU-vid use the option with the bucket at 1 ounce per gallon.

@JokaDaClown 6 лет назад

use a raise bucket with a grit guard when using this product to avoid scratching the car

Very interesting Video. I would use it to get harder polymer coatings of the paint. For that purpose is it a good product. But on the other hand am I asking myself if you can't mix such a product yourself by using a cheap shampoo a little bit of polish product.

Hello Forensic, i try this wash plus. It cleans well, no wax on the paint 👍 But recently i see very few carbon mat parts of my car become little shiny. This abrasive shampo could be the guilty ? There is micro polishing agents on it right ? If it they must said to not use on mat finish...

@ForensicDetailing 2 года назад

Not sure but I very much doubt it's the shampoo

A must have for me. I use it all the time on customer cars. Often times people have no idea what is on their paint as far as protection is concerned. This absolutely cuts down the amount of claying needed ( doesn't eliminate claying totally of course ) and does a good job of stripping protection. For a pro detailer this is a time saver. Glad you also mentioned its glass cleaning power. Any time I can use one product versus 3 or more that's a win for me.

I got some the other day and I'm nor a fan of fanatic cleaning. However, my 17 year old Golf has been neglected and the paint has no shine so I'm starting with this then clay and polish

For the car in close to perfect condition. Polished 3kkm ago. Can I use it to strip wax instead of cleaner? I do not want to do cleaner work couse Id go for a quick mashine work and then pick fininis polish becaouse why not, then seeing any love mark would switch to harsher compound and here I am fighting 10hrs+ to have a fresh wax :D Id do a proper throught contact wash first with other shampoo and then wash once again with megs to get stripping done.

Going to use this on mums mini, if it shines up then awesome, if it does the opposite.. it wasn't me

@whatmattersmost6725 6 лет назад

Interesting that it's got a higher PH to strip wax, but did it strip of the ceramic coatings that you applied to that panel? Also, I think that ceramic coatings are harder like 9H over regular clear coatings so there should not have been those micro scratchings and swirls marks as that's the point of ceramic coatings right? Or is the Meguiars just too abrasive ?

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

its the abrasives that are doing the stripping mainly chris, Im not sure what PH it is. I would not use this product a car with a ceramic coating for sure.

@johnp6987 3 года назад

May be using on a new car for getting rid of any waxes or sealants as the step before claying and or polishing rather than the initial wash

@michaelowen7694 6 лет назад

As somebody who has a bit of a mental block when it comes to claying (I've never done it) I'm thinking along these lines -. 2 bucket method car wash, rinse, then apply this product to an already clean car prior to polish - in short a substitute for clay?

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

hi michael short answer.. no mate. you will need to clay still. But you could argue this product might be worth using prior to claying..

@dave5991 3 года назад

Used the product on a worn out waxed panel. Use before re-polishing then wax. Maybe once a yr. yea good cleaner.

Hello, i was wondering if you can/will do a product review of ammo products? Just to see where they stand compared to other products! Thanks

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

At the moment you have to ship them in to the UK from the USA which is not viable for most people cost wise, no doubt at some point they will become available in the UK through a distributor and we can take a look at them. but I also need to try them as well to see if I get on with them. I try and limit the brand reviews to explore the ranges of companies who's products Ive used and have in the mega tests or just generally. pretty sure they would be very good products. word on the street is good.

@flowinthrou Год назад

So we come down to cleaning the car as usual and then washing with wash plus. Aiming to a strip wash. Any suggestions on (cost effective) strip wash shampoos? Because I struggle finding any.

@uckBayNguyen 5 лет назад

I use this twice a year for one purpose only... strip the old wax and sealant. It's for my annual bi-annual strip, iron, tar, clay, prep, compound, polish... the whole works. I like it for its intended use not for every wash

@ForensicDetailing 5 лет назад

thanks nguyen, I like it too actually like you say for a specific purpose rather than just a general wash system

@rattlehead85 6 лет назад

Really I see this product as an alternative “wet method” to what Dodo Lime Prime Lite does. A paint cleaner that strips wax ready for fresh coating. However, no way would you use that as a direct first wash and only wash stage. You’d have to citrus pre-wash/foam then incorporate a normal shampoo and rinse stage before then applying this. Is it the case that once you’ve done that you could by pass the paint cleaning stage and go straight to wax re-application? As you say Jon this may appeal to some people who want a quick detailing prep for wax without using machine polishers and pre-wax cleaning products. Somehow I think the genuine enthusiast will not go for this and stay with the tried and trusted methods which have proved themselves to be reliable.

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

I have not tested sealants against it.. but I had a week old durability wax on the car and it was gone after a good scrub with this... how much you scrub will effect its ability to strip.. but I think it will easily strip the old reminants of most sealants and waxes.. It wont be as thourough as an abrasive pre wax cleanser on a machine polisher though.. but good enough for most scenarios to them go on and lay down a sealant or wax.

@alexvids9232 6 лет назад

sounds like its good for cars before correction. perfect to speed up clay barring because this removes a lot more dirt before you clay. this will be my go to on cars with paint that requires clay and correction.

@mattmilford4202 6 лет назад

This has a place I think. Carry out a full pre wash as you normally would ie citrus, rinse, foam and rinse again before the bucket washesYou could then use this instead of clay for a decon. Obviously fallout and tar prior to it but I’d also be interested to see what damage it would do to a ceramic

@ForensicDetailing 6 лет назад

so would I matt.. I dont think its good to use this on a coated car. It wont strip a ceramic but depending on how much you scrub it might well degrade it a fair bit. guessing though.

@predictablyunpredictable3248 6 лет назад

Does this also strip a ceramic coating?

@fullwerkes 6 лет назад

This would of be handy for some real rotten cars I have worked on in the past. Yes it would of potentially caused more scratches but some cars are past that.

@dynamicdetailingchannel2136 3 года назад

I think Megs have missed a trick with this product because it’s aimed at the retail market, and the method they state is not good to say the least - Effectively grinding dirt and product into the paint work. If used on a properly washed and deconed car it is very effective at removing waxes and sealant for a new LSP - perhaps that is where they should have focused their marketing?
