I used the Meguiar Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax a couple of weeks ago on my 157"wb 2016 F150 crew cab. A. Big. Vehicle. I bought it new and it had never been waxed in it's 92,000 miles. Coming off of reverse replacement shoulder surgery (right shoulder, 5th rt shoulder procedure since early 2016) in late April, I was looking for something fairly easy to do and this stuff was that product. Yesterday was the first rain the truck had seen since the "wax job" and I must say the beading was as good as any product I've seen. As noted above, the instructions say don't expect the product to haze, and it doesn't, Evaporate is probably a more accurate description. I applied as recommended....one panel at a time. On my truck the panels are pretty good size. After I got going, I considered just doing the whole thing and then wiping it down but figured I could more accurately remove any residue if I did as told. Next car I suspect I'll apply and then remove the whole vehicle at a time as there is simply little if any residue.
The wife's 2012 Highlander (dark burgundy metallic) got an application on it's front facing parts (hood, grill and front bumper cover) after I removed any built up crap with applications of WD40 and then mineral spirits. The result was a transformation. Waxing with a product that leaves a "haze" always seemed to highlight the chips and divots caused by 130,000 miles of highway driving. The Meguiars product leaves no light colored crap in the imperfections. The front of the Highlander looks incredibly better. The divots and chips are still there but they aren't highlighted. Huge win.
