Meguiar's Professional M26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax, 1gal

I have been using Ziano Brothers car products for years but decided to try something different and based on what I read I ended up ordering Meguiar's Yellow Wax #26. I gave up on natural Carnauba waxes years ago because I found most to be messy in terms of wipe up (dust/chalk). So for the longest time I only used synthetic waxes which go one easy and wipe off easy. Meguiar's Yellow Wax #26 is made from both Carnauba and synthetic stuff like silicones and polymers so I was not sure what to expect. I was happily surprised with the results both applying the wax and the brilliant shine/protection it provides. This wax is thicker than synthetic based wax but it's fairly easy to lay down and wipe up is not bad either but still not as easy as synthetic waxes like what Ziano Brothers and other's offer. Now the only question is durability and how long with the wax last compared to what I am use to. Time will tell but in the meanwhile I think i have a new favorite wax!

Excelente product .. No stripes or mark after removing it …

I'm not one to review many items but Hi Tech 26 deserves it. This wax was recommended on a high end auto site for dark vehicles. It was explained to me that green waxes are for light colored vehicles. I just thought wax was wax. Well not so. The wax went on easy enough but as mentioned in another review depending on the amount used, it doesn't come off that easy. This is not a big deal. It's just worth pointing out. So I used a Meguiars micro fiber cloth to remove the wax, rubbing in straight lines in the direction of the body panels (a detailer's secret) as rubbing in circles is a no-no. Having polished the car in my garage per the directions, I thought 'hey this looks pretty good.' I figured for the money it wasn't a bad deal. It wasn't until the next day after I came out an office I was visiting and I saw the car in the sunlight that I got the full effect. It was unbelievable. This was the first time I waxed my new black CR-Z and the car looked better than when I bought it. The finish was so reflective and pure that I could have shaved in the reflection. It made the metal flake in the paint pop and sparkle. It even took out the swirl marks the dealership put on it while prepping it during the sale. Seriously, this wax is no joke. With the exception of some $90 detailing wax, it cannot be beat. I highly recommend this wax along with the entire line of Meguiars products. I used the car wash, drying towels, etc to incredible effect. If you have a dark car and you want a finish worthy of envy, this is the wax to use. If I were to have any issue with this wax, it would be the amount required. In my estimation, you can only get two uses per bottle which isn't terrible. If I had known how great this wax is, I would have purchased a few bottles to save on shipping because I already need to order more. If you have a dark colored car, order this wax! You will not regret it.

Great product

I trust Meguiar's products. I am 70 years old and still wash and wax my car. There are many ceramic waxes out there. I have used Mother's. It works well but I find myself working hard to buff it out. This product goes on easily, buffs out clean and looks great

This is what my Motorcoach detailed uses and it works great .. I get waxed twice a year instead of a ceramic coating for 45ft Motorcoach..

Easy to apply, produces an excellent result. I apply with a sponge, let it dry, then use a microfiber cloth to wipe off then use another clean microfiber cloth to buff.

Meguiar's doesn't make this anymore. Pity. This is truly a GREAT product. It has been replaced by Meguiar's M21 Mirror Glaze Synthetic Sealant 2.0. (another fine product). I have hoarded a couple of the M26 mirror glaze bottles because it leaves your car looking like it's wet. A phenomenal product. I use a dual action professional buffer to apply it. I buff and buff and buff until there is virtually NO haze left on the car. During the buffing procedure, the wax slowly dries and the buffer reduces that haze to a microscopic polishing powder which is what professionals use in a different method. It will reduce SOME minor scratches but don't expect miracles. I also START the buffing with the car spritzed by an old Windex bottle full of 80% water and 20% clear white vinegar. The surface of the car is VERY lightly wet and mixes with the wax and buffing pad to produce a much softer application of the wax. (MORE SHINE - LESS ABRASION to the surface of your car's clear coat) :)~ You can't miss with this wax. I am only sorry Meguiar's has replaced it with the above mentioned sealant. The sealant however is a great second coat (yes over the freshly waxed M26 glaze) to SEAL the work I have just done and protect your cars exterior for quite some time.

Works well!

I have a show car and after using the Meguiar's Hi Tec Yellow wax the results were just amazing and I have included a Photo of the finished product - very easy to apply and remove , I was amazed with the finished results , this product will now be the only wax I will use from now on - thank you for great product

Muy bueno y excelente resultado

Have been using it for the past 2 yrs and it works like charm on the paint, it does not contribute much to the feel but gives a definite amount of depth and lustre to the paint. Would recommend it to every detailing guy or even an amateur..!

Been using mothers products for 20 years, will never go back to them this wax is amazing
