Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Pre-Wax Prep is a polish-compound hybrid that removes swirls and other minor paint defects while conditioning the surface, applying and wiping off as easily as a traditional wax. Its SiO2 Hybrid Ceramic technology leaves behind a water-beading protective layer and creates a foundation for additional Meguiar's ceramic products, while polishing oils enhance gloss, depth, and color clarity. For use on glossy paint finishes only (not matte or satin): wash the vehicle and clay if needed, then apply to a cool, clean surface in thin, even coats, working in small sections and removing immediately. Can be followed with any Meguiar's wax for extra protection.
