    Meguiars hybrid ceramic topping

    I'm sure this has been discussed, but I couldn't find anything... always have trouble with the search function.

    Just started using the hybrid ceramic for ease of use and the protection. I found that it leaves a decent gloss but wish it had a slicker feel.

    The meguiars video I watched said the hybrid should be used as a topper for a base layer of wax...I'm using ultimate. Can a topper be used on top of the hybrid to give it a slicker feel? If so can ultimate spray wax be used, or would a spray detailer be better?

    Thanks

    Either product will work with it.

    I'd recommend making sure the paint is smooth to start with. use a clay product if needed.

    -Meguiar’s has also stated that this is also
    the case when it comes to Sealants/Coatings.
    -(Ultimate is a Sealant)

    •Wouldn’t topping HCW mute its proprietary
    hydrophobicity—one of its most sought after
    characteristics?

    -Here’s another way to look at it:
    Meguiar’s has stated that HCW is best
    applied as the last product.

    That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure? I figured if anything, a spray detailer to get a slicker feel but wasn't sure if it would interfere with the hydrophobic property's?
