What did I do wrong Meguiar’s hybrid ceramic liquid wax?

People use drying aids for numerous reasons, but it’s not a bad thing to simply dry clean paint with a quality drying towel. Drying aids probably should be left out when planning on applying an LSP right after.

[Bruno Soares]

Yeah, if you plan on applying an LSP then use something like CarPro Eraser as your drying aid, it will help keep the surface squeaky clean to apply the LSP.

And use a different soap, one that doesn’t leave stuff behind like Gold Class. Reset is probably a good one. After you put the LSP on then use whichever soap you want.

Then spray bug/tar remover and wipe off

If anything, this seems to be the step with some actual potential for damage to occur.^

When I’m dealing with an especially dirty vehicle, what I like to do it spray a bug & tar remover [Poor Boys Bug Squash] on the panel and let it dwell for about 30secs. before washing with mitt from the soapy bucket as usual. Seems to make a noticeable difference in regards to cleaning power.


I also 100% percent agree that drying a vehicle without a drying aid is absolutely fine and will not cause swirls.

Btw I see you’ve downloaded the Autogeek app and have discovered the easy way to post pictures. Right on. The Durango looks good.

Yes, I find this to be totally true. If you use a PFM you don’t need a drying aid at all. Swirls come from poor washing technique and/or poor shampoo.

Rob, I know I just get that “ahhh” feeling I’m scratch paint, which is why I use drying agent.

Yup, got the app.

Ok I read somewhere that you need some lubricant when drying to prevent scratching.

No one is twisting your arm to not use a drying aid, use one if you’re comfortable that way. All I’m saying is with my using a PFM the water gets soaked up so instantly there’s no need for one and I experience none on my soft Honda paint.

Looks like I need a PFM towel, thanks
So how long can this hybrid ceramic wax last?
Should I do two layers?
