Megiuars ceramic hybrid wax

Some of the detailers online are raving about Turtlewax’s new answer to Megs Hydrophobic wax (Which is on offer at Halfords for £16 at the mo) but its much cheaper. I ordered 3 from Eurocarparts at £5 bottle but they are no longer listing it and have sent me a mail that it wont arrive for 3 weeks. This is the best offer I can find:

I would recomend for the exhaust tips just a simple clean with an Iron and Fallout remover (I would recommend Korrosol by Bilt Hamber) and a short knap microfibre cloth but if the soot build up is engrained in the steel I would use a polish such as autosol.

I’d also use the Korrosol for the brake calipers or Bilt Hambers “Auto Wheel” which is virtually the same stuff but with some detergent. Once clean I would recomend that the calipers are coated with preferably a ceramic or a wheel wax such as Poorboys wheel wax.

I got the same deal at Eurocar parts a couple of weeks back, I also bought 3, used it for the 1st time Monday & I’m very impressed with it, water just beads off straight away, easy to apply, used it on the glass & the plastics with no issues. I reckon that turtle ? wax hydrophobic is amazing for the price, as good as some I’ve paid 4x the price for if not more, this stuff’s a keeper …

The tip I would give is make sure your RS is as clean as you can get it before applying, delighted with the results?

I’ve been using it for about 6 months now and have decided to use it on my wife’s car and my daughters car as it offers great protection and is so easy to use.  I’m not going to use it on the RS anymore for two reasons. Firstly I love cleaning it and it definately shines and reflects better with my usual sealant or wax. The ceramic wax is good but it looses that deep wet glossy look I get from blackfire sealant or king of gloss etc.   Secondly when you wash the car the ceramic coating kills any suds. You can have a nice hot bucket of sudsy water and within a few passes it’s dead. I suppose that shows the stuff works, but it feels like I’m cleaning the car with plain hot water. I’ve tried it with meguiars gold class shampoo,  autoglym shampoo and ez watermelon. It seems to kill the suds on all of them. But, as I say, on the other cars it’s a brilliant product as they are not as pampered!!!
