    Love this car wash - it's my go-to!!

  • MuddyClear on 15/10/2020 - 10:43

    1.42L ..,. Not a spray version

    • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 15/10/2020 - 11:04

      You can mix it with water and put into a snow cannon?

      • l o l on 15/10/2020 - 11:44

        Not sure that is suited for snow cannon. I use the yellow one for "normal" bucket wash, and this one here when I use the foam cannon:

        https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/meguiars-meguiars-gold-c…

        It's even got a sticker on the bottle saying it's recommended for that.

        I certainly do, first I use my compressor to spray down the car to lift most of the surface dirt off, then I use the meguiars gold class wash in my snow cannon and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then I high pressure rinse it off.

        Finally, I use my snow cannon again to apply the meguiars ultimate wash and wax, once again I let it sit for about 10 minutes before drying the car with a clean (as in machine wash it after use) large microfibre towel (I dont rinse it off first I just dry it with the towl)

        It leaves the car with an almost wet look polish, I pretty much wash it once a week or at a stretch a fortnight because I hate dead bugs on my car. I find washing my car zen relaxing so I prefer this to using hybrid ceramics with larger intervals between washes

        Water beads off it like nothing else and it smells amazing to boot! When people see my 2003 E500 they comment that they cannot believe how perfect the paint is after all these years.

          Hi mate, certainly looks like a good ritual, but maybe rinsing off the wash& wax might be a good idea. I guess you want to keep wax from the wash, but there will be some detergent residue left too. I'd give another rinse. It will probably increase bonding ability of HCW too.

          Just my thoughts, happy detailing! (my 96 prado outsihine most of the 6-8 years old cars too lol)

    Newbie : If we get this one, do we still need "Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Spray Wax" ? What is their functioning diff?

    Hopefully someone can shed light on this…

      This would apply an inferior wax I believe. Good if you lazy and still more than most do for their car.

      If you want to use a nicer wax, get a standalone car wash product and separate wax. I go separate because it's not the biggest task in the world and I get joy from looking after my car.

      • C0mbat on 15/10/2020 - 12:51

        I had exactly the same question. Thanks for the. Are we saying either of the following because then it makes sense.

        a) Most of what you're paying for in this wash is the wax component and you should if you're going to apply a more superior wax anyway?

        b) The wax in this product could hinder the effectiveness of a superior wax that you put over the top of it.

        Contrary to either of the above two statements, if putting the inferior wax on first from this wash and then adding a superior wax over the top is a bit like adding two layers of wax then there still could be some benefit to buying this and the ceramic wax?

        • gakko on 15/10/2020 - 13:13
          +1

          Good questions but I'm no expert just a sometimes wax user.

          My perception is that waxes are fairly delicate products and I'd probably not want to mix them. Also I would think a straight 'shampoo' cleans more thoroughly while a wax shampoo combo product could potentially seal over some minor dirty particles with the wax. But by now im speculating.

        • Soothsayer on 15/10/2020 - 13:16

          This is the perfect kind of product to use if you're only doing a quick wash and can't be bothered/don't have time to apply a seperate finishing product afterwards. It's no way comparable to a dedicated product as the "extra" finish will only last you a week or so.

          It can also be used as a regular wash if you're doing something else after too. Not mutually exclusive, apart from the fact other more basic washes are more economical if you do this (to me I just use this or an equivalent so I don't have to bother keeping and storing too many opened bottles).

          I've used it with dedicated waxes and coatings fine afterwards, that's just my experience. There's a lot of opinions either way but they're just that, I find there's a lot of BS, marketing and broscience in the detailing community and I haven't seen anything with facts and data proving it either way.

  • Naigrabzo on 15/10/2020 - 11:23

    Don't use this on a ceramic coated car. But if you have a non-coated car or you wax your car. This is fine. This is the best wash n wax if you're lazy. Please note that the wax does not last long.

    • Mooo0 on 15/10/2020 - 15:44

      Why can't it be used on ceramic coated car? I got a ceramic coated car and about to purchase this.

      • Tuttorix on 15/10/2020 - 15:50
        +7

        Wax is a polymer based protection. It will mask the qualities of your ceramic coating and also potentially degrade it faster. Ceramic coating a are quartz / silicon / TiO2 based, it will not be able to protect your car as well when you try to layer a polymer like synthetic carnauba wax on top (the type of wax in this bottle). The best way to maintain a ceramic coating is to simply hand wash the car with a good pH neutral car shampoo (e.g. Meguiars Gold Wash / CarPro Reset etc. Lots of brands and products without any additives).

        • Mooo0 on 15/10/2020 - 17:21

          Would you recommend this one? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/573600

          Apparently it is pH neutral!

            +1

            @Mooo0: I don't recommend CT18 personally. Read my comment on how it's too strong of a detergent, it can degrade a coating and strip waxes etc. Just buy the more normal stuff that comes in 2L bottles from Supercheap. Meguiars Gold is awfully cheap when on sale anyways. 2L should last you awhile and it can be used both as a snow foam and as a standard wash.

        • [Deactivated] on 21/10/2020 - 18:37

          Just saw this as I am about to purchase for my non-ceramic-coated vehicle. Wax is natural, ceramic coatings/sealants are polymers (as are many other non-ceramic synthetic sealants). The wax will break down quicker than the polymer and one chemist on youtube opined that mixing the two in one product (eg TW Sean N Shine) seems counterproductive. Nothing wrong with using this product or even waxing over a ceramic coating (its adherence will be relatively poor) but the question is why would you when there are plenty of ceramic top up products on the market?

  • nqg777 on 15/10/2020 - 11:33

    How does this compare to Bowden's Own brand?

    • apsilon on 15/10/2020 - 11:48
      +4

      Inferior IMO. Bowdens lasts a little longer plus the bonus of it being an Aussie company. I used to be a big Meguiars user but have switched to Bowdens as all of their products are as good, or in most cases, superior. Most of their products also have awesome scents and names for a laugh.

      • PoKGuy on 15/10/2020 - 12:57

        ^^^ That's my sentiment exactly.

        Used Meguiars for 10+ years and then switched to Bowdens.

        IMO, Bowden's just as good as Meguiars (at similar price point).

    • Tuttorix on 15/10/2020 - 15:53

      Bowdens Own works just as well as this, but it's probably more expensive half the time. Repco has 30% off Bowdens Own at the moment I believe.

      • Willco88 on 15/10/2020 - 12:17

        How do I, I've never done any kind of cut or polish

        • apsilon on 15/10/2020 - 12:34

          You need a DA polisher, mix of pads and compounds. If it's a one of thing you may be better off going to a detailer than spending the money on the tools. If you want to DIY look up Ammo NYC on Youtube, I'm sure he'll have videos on how to do paint correction and other vids aimed at beginners.

          • Willco88 on 15/10/2020 - 12:35

            @apsilon: So basically a professional cut and polish needed

            • apsilon on 15/10/2020 - 13:32

              @Willco88: Yes though that's a bit of an old term, more commonly called paint correction these days. It is easy to DIY and hard to make a mistake with modern tools but it will cost you a bit to buy the stuff, probably about the same amount to have it done professionally so if it's a one off use, may or may not be worth it to you.

              • Willco88 on 15/10/2020 - 13:33

                @apsilon: Yea I don't got any equipment like that

                • Soothsayer on 15/10/2020 - 13:56

                  @Willco88: It's also possible to do by hand but fair warning, it will take 10x the time. Is a good arm workout though!

                  This guide is basically exactly what you're asking for, though he does somewhat gloss over how long it takes to do a whole car by hand, it's largely dependent on the starting condition and personal preference for the result.

        Sorry meant NXT (been on pcmr subreddit too long…)

        i still see water spots but they're not really visible unless you're looking at the car on certain angles so i guess it works? I've been using it for the last 2 year so i can't draw any comparisons unfortunately.

    Curious, how do most of you wash you cars? Bucket and sponge?

    • hardjards on 15/10/2020 - 12:51
      +2

      I recommend not using a bucket and sponge if you are picky.

      The problem with a bucket and sponge is that you generally trap dirt in the sponge/and suds which you then vigorously rub against you paint which acts like a micro-abrasive.

      You will see the "swirl" in the paintwork (particularly black paint) which is sometimes caused by using dirty water/sponges. If you have a new car - I suggest going sponge free from the beginning and your paint job will thank you in the long run.

      • boxall on 15/10/2020 - 15:22

        I have tried it once with no chamois afterwards and I was left with horrible watermarks even after a solid hose off.

        I use a snow canon, then wash off, then a two-bucket wash and then a dry with a micro fibre towel.

        • mrsinistah on 15/10/2020 - 17:16

          Definitely dry with puffy microfibres. Evening place and lift :D

        This product?

        Method? (I'm a noob):

        • Spray the car down to wet it/remove dirt
        • Then spray it down with the snow cannon filled with wash n wax.
        • Sit for 10mins
        • Spray foam off with water
          Done?!

    • apsilon on 15/10/2020 - 15:44

      Snow foam prewash then 3 bucket method (3rd is exclusively for wheels and engine bay). Never use a sponge or chamois, we're not in the 70s anymore. My personal choice is a short nap microfibre wash mit (Bowdens Love Glove), dirt guards in the buckets and dry with microfibre towel along with a drying aid like Bowdens Afterglow.

      Yeah I would recommend picking up a cheapish gerni (I saw one at Aldi the other day for 99 bucks but you can also pick up units from Kogan pretty cheaply all the time) get yourself a snow cannon from ebay for about 15 bucks and two bottle containers - one for the wash and one for your wax.

      Takes me 15-20 minutes to do the car, I also use the gerni to keep the wife happy by cleaning windows/paddios and the exterior of the house occasionally - great little toy mine has been going strong for years.
