Ceramic wax?

[BJCHEV396]

Being reading about cars being ceramic wax coated.Anyone had it done.Good results and is it worth the cost? Usually around $1200.00.

I just use a good quality wax since ceramic coating is really expensive.

So do I but just wanted more info on ceramic waxes.

Most car wax companies are coming out with their own versions of ceramic car waxes...Meguiars has a couple versions which a few of my friends just rave about and they cost about 20 bucks or so. I haven't tried it yet but plan on trying in the near future. The one that has been recommended the most is called Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Liquid wax everyone who has tried it just raves about it!

----Would you hazard a guess as to weather that Meguiars Hybrid stuff is OK to use on lacquer?......Bill S

The one my friend likes is the liquid wax not the one in the spray bottle. It looks like this:

Not sure if it's ok on lacquer, you'd have to read the bottle I guess

Good topic.

I use Adam's detailing products as they have a wide array of products for just about every application and if you catch a sale, there are always good deals. I have Adam's ceramic and ceramic touch up for when I do a day long detail. My method typically looks like this:

-Wash
-Wash/Clay
-Wash
-Treat rubber and wheels
-Polish (micro, macro)
-Seal
-Wax
-Ceramic
-Dress rubbers/tires/polish wheels/glass, etc

From what I've seen even doing a simple wash/clay/wash/wax/ceramic is that the ceramic keeps all treated surfaces contaminate free longer and when you complete your follow up treatments, the process is much easier. Some ceramic coatings claim you'll be swirl and scratch free longer - I suppose this is possible but depends on driving and storage conditions.

I ceramic coat painted surfaces, windows, wheels, chrome, etc. Nice product. There are TONS of Youtube videos about this. Use the free education to your advantage.

Sorry I do not. I was very hesitant to use anything but a soft pad + Megs 105 + paste wax on my '67 Corvette original paint car after we got it from the second owner. Metal body cars are different because the lacquer cures differently post heating process during factory application. It also responds differently to modern treatments.
