Thread: Meguiar's Sealants (aka Synthetic Wax) Review

I have used the ultimate line for the last year or so and i have to say working in a parts store and using pretty much everything on the shelf, it is by far the closest to a professional product 1/4 of the price.

Meguiar's recommends two coats for even coverage. One coat is good if one gets good coverage. Additional protection is not built upon additional layers.

Anything synthetic is a sealant. Ultimate Wax is a synthetic product thus making it a sealant. The term wax is used as the average person does not know what the term sealant means. They however identify with the term wax. Ultimate wax performed very well for me personally. Stand alone I get 6 months out of it. When I topped it with M26 Hi Tech Wax (which is a carnauba based wax), I got 8 months out of that combo with spray waxing in between washes.


Topping is when a sealant is laid down as the base coat and then topped with a coat of carnauba. In theory one gets the best of both worlds. The longevity of the sealant and the look of the carnauba. The carnauba will become the sacrificial layer and once that wears off, the sealant is left behind.

Ultimate wax is an excellent product. I always keep some around as it's a typical go to product that nets excellent results.
