NEW! MEGUIARS ULTIMATE CERAMIC COATING - IS IT LEGIT? 

I tested it as well on my channel, I did not have that same issue. I let it cure less than you did but it seemed like it performed better. Nothing ground breaking, not the best in the world, but decently enough.

I attended 10 or more Meguiar's training classes and began using Meguiar's products since 1998. All my products I use were Meguiar's only until a year a go. I tried Turtle Wax products and the first was the Slick and slide. I purchased 1 container to see how it worked! I was amazed how well it looked. My wife has a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk that spends most of the time in a Climate Controlled garage. I did a complete wash, clayed the vehicle and decided to try the Turtle Was Hybrid Ceramic Wash and dry. I next applied Hybrid Ceramic Spray and buff. Now every week for the last month or so I wash using only the slick and slide. and rinse. This stuff out does any of the Meguiar's products. So all I use on the vehicles I detail are Turtle wax products. Even the Leather spray is great and customers really like the scent! John

Reminds me of the "Ceramic" protection the dealer put on my previous truck. Water stopped beading and sheeting after two washes. When I bought my most recent truck, I told them (dealer) to stuff their coating as I will be taking care of it myself. TW has been knocking it out of the park lately. Currently have a coat of their ceramic+graphene paste wax on it to hold the truck over until spring when I'll do a full proper ceramic or graphene coating. Their "Pure" soap you used here is my favorite, and is awesome in the foam cannon.

I am a Turtle Wax guy. Especially Seal n Shine and the Ceramic wash and wax. 🇨🇦👍👍

Thanks jimbo... well you saved me 25 bucks

Hard to believe they would even release that 😮

Been waiting on you to test it lol. I got some last week. Put it on the front of my camper but haven't put it on my vehicles yet.

I think they understand the ritual of car washing and that most diy car enthusiasts are going to reapply this every time they wash. It’s just part of the ritual…we all do it. I mean nobody just washes their car, dries it off and pulls it into the garage. So can multiple coats be applied or stacked? Does that increase durability? I like Meguiars but Turtle Wax seems to have taken the lead over the last few years. They’re putting out some really high quality, high performance products at low cost and that’s making them very competitive.

Missed these torture tests Jimbo. ❤

Love the content and videos all around. Keep it up.

Had high hopes for this... guess I'm going to try and stock up on the old hybrid paint coating. That stuff was great.

Jimbo, sticking with the Turtle Wax wash theme for a moment... If, in fact, the soft Slick&Slide is degrading the coating, I'd hate to see what the TW MAX-POWER would do at a mild-strong dilution ratio. Never mind whatever shampoo you used in your first test, especially in light of a weeks cure time not exposed to the elements. It's apparently perplexing and disappointing for a Meguiar's product.

Absolutely excellent video.

That's interesting that you mention the McGuire spray wax stuff because I had the blue stuff you mentioned and I followed their directions on completely and it always leaves a smeary, streaky residue on the car but their green bottle quick detailer ceramic stuff works well, goes on great, and lasts a couple washes living in the Arizona sun.

I prefer the hybrid ceramic coating over the quick detailer. In my hands the quick detailer died of at the 3rd wash with BH Autofoam and touchless 13 and 12 ph respectively at 3% PIR

Jimbo: Is it ok to apply Turtle Wax ceramic spray after applying McGuire's Ultimate Wax paste? If so, how long do I need to wait after the waxing to apply the ceramic? Good video.

I appreciate the video and the product should last longer than seal n shine for $25.00. Meguiars makes good products but they seem stale.

Try Nanoglans Hydrophobic coating spray. It's insane good.

Waiting for this product to launch in our region so we can see how well it holds to feynlab pure wash

I just wanna know what soap you used that stripped it so I can have a good annual reset wash. Thanks!

hmm, looks like the meg's hybrid ceramix spray is better. maybe you can do a battle between them next time..

Collinite 476s double coated wax will beat it alday 😅😅😅

I’m a little saddened seeing that. That’s why I switched to the turtle wax still great bang for the buck Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the video , i had this in my Amazon cart ! Decided not to purchase after watching your video

Great 👍video buddy tfs

Jimbos hard as shell is the best stuff I have used it's an awesome product

Thx for the video. Are you going to test their new ceramic coating, 888 or whatever its called? Cheers

Where can I get that soap that took the sealant off in 2 seconds need the link bro

Hello, can you do test for soft99 products, fusso coat and waterblock also the glaco

Which has been the best performing Spray on product you’ve tested so far? Turtle Wax Seal n Shine?

I'm surprised you didn't use the 3D BDX or the GLW Iron Remover

Maybe they should have made this product in place of their paint glosser spray. I would try this just for the looks and not care if it lasts that long. It looks like its a pretty look, especially on black cars. 🤷‍♂️

So I still like the Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic and Sunday's Best sprays. What are you using for your business that works well and lasts 6 months or better??

You should towel dry it after blowing into order to remove any surfactants left behind after the rinse. It could be that that is masking the beading, rather than killing it.

Mig non acidic wheel cleaner is super good!

Are they discontinuing their hybrid paint coating? That has done the best resisting wayer spots on my car. Dissapointed this new ultimate ceramic coating is not as good.

I bought some from Amazon to put on my motorcycles. I wash the bikes, then reapply to get water spots and things. It does ok, I like Ceracoat and Griots 3 in 1 better.

I have a question about your floors... can you use that instead of digging a drain in your garage?

Which turtle wax tire cleaner is good?

Sorry did you say it needs 7 days to cure ? For those without interior spaces I’m not so sure this product for me would even be considered- I personally use Autofinesse graphene paste wax and top it off with Turtle was Graphene detailer spray and I get phenomenal results .

Jimbo, have you heard of a product called shiny car stuff? Seems like it could be a good product for older vehicles that aren’t worth repainting or clients that are just trying to flip a vehicle and don’t want to spend hundreds on paint correction and ceramic coating.

What would you recommend for ceramic coating or a ceramic coating spray thanks?

Thanks for the great video. I'm a little disappointed with this #Meguiars product as well. You definitely need a topper for sure. Thanks.

'Lab tested against Meguiar's premium waxes' The fine print, its just the best of their stuff, not that it can beat competitors.

I want to see someone test the meguirs m888. Just bought a new truck, and I'm curious to see how it performs.

What nozzle are you using on that hose?

This video saved me from running out and throwing away $ 27 on junk...

What’s with the one side of the panel x’d out?

Where can I get a roll of those microfiber towels?

I’ve tried this stuff and I keep going back to turtle wax hybrid ceramic spray. With 2 coats it easily lasts 6 months!! This meguiars crap is lucky to last 1 month. I keep trying it tho bc it’s on clearance at my Walmart. And I’m a sucker. I’m done tho.. TW for the win.

Ill stick to the m27 and cut it any way you like. Turtle Wax Seal n Shine is still the GOAT.

So what is the best paint protector

Jimbo, do you have a video on that soap and why it's one of your favs?

I'm glad I didn't buy a bottle to try out.

I think ill just stick to TEC582.

Good video Jimbo, i tried the blue bottle ceramic spay and two applications and at first you think it is amazing but once washed it's bloody rubbish and a waste of money so because of that i tend to avoid anything they make anymore .

I only wash my cars with a cheap Turtle wax or Mothers wash and wax. I live in Florida and it rains all the time,year round. Now,I lived in Calif. most of my life. The rainwater there was much worse. And,the tap water from my hose was also. So the water spots were considerably worse. It doesn't matter what wax you use, I tried alot of different waxes,you're going to get water spots. So I don't care about how long the wax will last after washing the car with soap. My cars aren't going to go longer than a month with out being waxed again. I do care about how easy the water spots will be removed. In my real world testing,Griot's 3 in 1 ceramic seems to leave the thickest coating and beads the most. It's not the shiniest,or slickest, but it last longer. Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic spray beats the Griot's 3 in 1 for that. Turtle Wax Graphene MAX is slightly better than the Griot's but it cost a lot more. And for total longevity,ScottHD proved the Griot's beat almost every wax he tested,which was over 35 of them. Griot's 3 in 1 went up to a year! And it was the cheapest. For the ultimate shine and slickness,the Turtle Wax Max graphene beats every one. The spray wax that matches the gloss,but not as slick,is the Meguiars Gold Carnuba spray wax. it's cheap,but doesn't last at all. It makes a great detail topper. Extreme Solutions Topper last about as long,is slightly more, unless you buy the gallon size (which I do),and is the most slick of all the finishes I've tried. In Florida, I've never seen pollen in the spring like this in my whole life. It's unbelievable! Your car will be completely covered in yellow dust in less than a week.And pollen is sticky. Topper can't be beat for slickness. So in the real world,who doesn't wax their car after four months? People who don't care about their car,that's who! So does it matter which wax last the longest? I use a mixture of Topper (65%) and Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions ceramic spray wax 35%,on a weakly basis. Every couple of weeks I do the windows as well. I don't have to wash my cars that often,maybe every 6 weeks,unless it's spring and the pollen is everywhere. My cars look like they're ready for a show,or up for sale,most of the time.

I have never seen soap “degrade” anything like that. Not even on wax. Either way, a bit disappointing since Meguiars claims it’s a “true coating” and that does not behave like one.

I thought Markus left and went elsewhere.

I just ran a test between P&S Beadmaker, Tec choice, 3D bead it up, Griots 3in1 and Meguires Blue. The WINNER Was 😎 Meguires Blue and was applied wet😲

So are companies getting away from graphene?

Very odd, watched another torture test of this product and the filling capabilities and durability seemed much better.

But it's it any (noticably) better than the Hybrid Ceramic spray wax...?

Being a spray..is it really a ceramic coating..and is it 9H

MIT pad after claybar

I’d like to see it on top of the Hybrid Coating and maintain it with a waterspot remover to see how it holds up, does look weak on its own

This is embarrassing performance for something calling itself a ceramic coating. Meg's Hybrid Ceramic wax performs much better. I used to be a Meguiar's devotee because it was and still is the most premium brand on store shelves. How naive I was.

I think you tested the wrong product. They just came out with their actual paint coating M888 aka Meguiar’s Beyond Ceramic Paint Coating. It claims multi year durability.

I want the XXX treated side.

Everybody who is using standard soap-in-bucket washing method does need to use a drying aid for lubrication. That being said, $25 is steep for that purpose. I rinseless wash my vrhicles, so no drying aid really needed so the longevity of a sealer is important. The reality is that there are much better performing products in this category for less money. Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic, DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss, and Griots 3 in 1 Ceramic are all vastly superior priducts for longevity for less. I have even seen a spray and rinse product like McKees 37 Hydro Graphene or DIY Quick Beads show likely the same durability or better. I hate ti call it embarassing but Cerakote kind of had the lock in that sentiment right now. LOL

Best stripping is done driving in the rain with grit, salt,dirt & pebbles smashing into the car at 70mph from the truck or car in front of you...just a wash & wax soap once a week

I dont put all my faith in on torture tests. Theyre unrealistic to a degree, however they are absolutely data driven and they at least give you some idea of what, if any, chemical resistance and durability a product has. My faith in megs is definitely at an all time low.i was actually excited to see how this product would do. Theres no reason at this point not to have a product that can last six months when we are calling it a coating. Turtle wax doesnt have issues doing it and they do it cheaper. Griots does it. Ethos does it. Adams does it. And the list goes on and on. Megs ceramic line up is just not there for me compared to the rest of the industry, well some of it at least. 10-15 yrs ago they were all i used. I guess they think consumers are not evolving like the rest of the industry. They better start evolving...flashy bottles and marketing buzz words dont work like they used to. And i agree with you, its probably not a bad product. Its just not a good one when compared to other available products out there. I guess there are still a lot of people that dont know better so as long as they keep buying, megs will keep making the same under performing products year after year. Sorry for the rant...Keep it up jimbo! Keep it real...

Armour Detail Amplify is much better than that, and its just a detail spray. Amplify is cheaper and you get twice as much product! 🤷‍♂️

Turtle wax outbeat Meguiar's since the bigining of the Ice spray wax lol not impress by Meg's products anymore

Even the bead booster has a better resistance what you threw at the panel lol, this isnt worthy of the name ceramic coating. Only thing i use from meguairs is the non acid wheel&tyre cleaner. That is in a league of its own in removing dirt and brake dust from your rims.

I have tried the MOTHERS Brand and is wayyyyyy better than Meguiars.

First I put you on it tfs buddy

So I decided I wanted to try it both ways. I made sure to clay and polish my hood. But the rest of the car I left alone. And my car is already insanely clean. I rinse prolly 3 times a week and hit it with a spray wax atleast 3 times a week. So the amount of product that’s built up on my car is a lot. I know it’s prolly a waste of product but Sorry I’m just insanely anal about my car. Anyway I used the product as directed on the hood. And the rest of the car I wiped it on and wiped it off as your supposed to just without the clay and polish. And it held up just as good as the hood. I was at the car wash last night and the water just came right off. Along with the foam wax spray. It just came right off the car. So honestly screw the hole clay and polish. Cause I don’t see it lasting as long as it says to begin with.

I will never exchange polymer sealant covered with nuba for this ceramic crap. Everything that has sio2 fills your paintwork with water spots, some of which are irreversible.

Damn, are you sure that's not a Cerakote product?

Another excellent demonstration of a poor performing product, I wonder will man the advertiser come to Meguiars rescue like he tried to do with cerakote 😂

Its all snake oil, a good wax does the same thing

Definitely not worth what they want for it. I wouldn't waste my money on it with much better and more reasonably priced products available.

I understand there stopped making there hybrid paint coating and this replacing it. There paint coating is much more durable than this. I don’t know what Meguiars doing they are expensive these days saw review of there new version ceramic wash and wax today to that was terrible to much worse than there first version what is Meguiars doing

This is EXTREMELY dissappointing. I believe the ultimate paste wax ir liquid wax could be more durable. What is it with meguiars and lame ceramic products? I guess 3M isn't interested in competing with top brands. Sad.

It’s ALMOST like they never ONCE tested it before bottling it and shipping it out. Which is probably what happened.

That didn't last any long than that JTC, $30 coating 🙄

Meh. I’ll stick to my turtle wax and griots

I like a clean car but honestly I’ve got better things to spend my time and money on rather than worrying about a shiny paint job trying to impress people. I’m fact I used to love getting out of my 911 in a pair of scruffy jeans and T shirt. 😂 I can see the point for a show / concourse car but really an everyday driver that’s going to get stone chips etc etc I’d rather not bother. Each to their own id say .

No product is legit when it’s married up to one of the most awful trigger sprayers in the business. Why would a manufacturer develop a product they are excited about and then put a terrible and cheap sprayer on it?!

I know u didint wanted to say it out loud, but lets be real, its a s... product 😂 And when I watched carefull enough I noticed that u would have killed it faster even with just the soap, but did less wipes on that right bottom side, thats why left was dead after 3 times and right holded up longer 😅

For 25 bucks and only get a small amount, its a terrible product

I used several different ones they're all the same to me. They all work the same way they're probably even the same formulas. It's all a scam

all these don't impress me at all anymore once I switched to gyeon I have never looked back

Wierd it did well in martins video.

After watching the whole video. It's not a proper ceramic coating..

Not impressed😐

2-3 months?? lol maybe 2-3 weeks. That stuff is trash lol

So in short.. it is shit!

Really hate to see these products. To me they’re a waste of time and money if you’re serious about your car. I understand these type fill a segment of the population though.
