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

    I’m making it clear that this is NOT a bash thread, I’m sure I did something wrong.

    So, here is the deal I use Meguiar’s Gold Class which has a conditioner in it.

    I also use a drying agent to avoid water spots and lubricate drying towel (prevent swirls).

    Then at the end I applied a coat of the Meguiar’s hybrid ceramic liquid wax, great results.

    However, it only lasted about two weeks tops.

    I think the conditioner in the soap, and drying agent put a barrier first then the wax.

    What does the prep and application instructions say on the Hybrid Ceramic Wax? Some products require a certain amount of time to actually bond before removal. They will also state what to wash and prep with.

    Hey Mike, I think the car soap and drying agent didn’t allow the wax to work properly.

    I like the results, tho just wondering why. Lol

    I hope I didn’t say wrong to offend anyone, that why I said this is not a bash thread.

    I love the product, just asking what I’m doing wrong so I can keep enjoying it, that’s all.

    Again sorry if I seem lazy or trying to offend anyone, my apologies

    Did you follow the directions for applying this the first time as a foundation layer?

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

    Hey Guz,
    Short answer: I used the Gold Class soap (has conditioner), and a drying agent.

    Once dry, I then applied a coat of the hybrid ceramic wax, only on coat.

    I am assuming that the conditioner in the Gold Class and the drying agent was the foundation. That is why the actually hybrid ceramic wax didn’t stick to the vehicle.

    This is a good product, but wondering what I did wrong to correct it.

    Hope it makes sense, I’m bad at explaining things.

    So basically Gold Class conditioner, then drying agent, then once car dries the ceramic wax. I’m guessing that what I did wrong

    Is what I did wrong?

    My fault. I see you used the liquid version and not the spray version. It probably did not play well with the drying aid.

    Exactly what I was thinking, but then how would I dry without scratching paint?

    I use drying agent to prevent water spots while I wash vehicle, but then it makes me pay. Lol

    What are you using to dry and what is your method that you’re worried about scratching the paint?

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

    Here are my steps
    Pre/rinse vehicle to remove dirt
    Then spray bug/tar remover and wipe off
    Then I usually do wheels
    Then I foam spray entire vehicle (foam cannon)


    Then I wash panel for panel
    Then I spray drying agent to help water spot
    Then I go around drying entire vehicle
    At the end I apply Meguiar’s hybrid

    So I’m guessing the conditioner in the Gold Class and drying agent (can’t say name I didn’t buy here) are not allowing the hybrid wax to bond to paint
