I've used Turtle Wax and other products and they seem to do almost nothing for the finish. One application and the car shines with a deep shine and is water-repellent, as it should be - for several months! This is Megar. What else can I say?

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • Obsolete model

Seems to bring out the color more than just washing

I liked how easy it was to use although it didn't even seem to remove the lighter scratches/swirls definitely made a noticeable difference Difference in the depth of the color scheme of the car. Easy to remove and apply despite investing in the softest applicators and microfiber cloths. It is definitely worth putting in a little extra effort before waxing.

Pros
  • High marks for hold and durability from testers
Cons
  • I won't say anything

I recommend a paste, not a liquid.

Bought to remove the red curbs on my mother's bumper. This product is a liquid, not a paste. No luck with what I needed. Luckily I also found an old can of turtlewax tucked away on a shelf in the back. It was so old that the paste had shriveled up and separated from the rim of the jar. This old stuff worked like a charm. I don't know if it's the brand or if the paste was better for the job.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Some issues

Poor product in exterior maintenance

This is the worst polishing compound ever. Used on both cars in a cool garage. Weeks later I'm still finding areas that need to be removed. If it gets on rubber or in a crack, it's very difficult to remove. Then there's the twist of painting every little speck of sand white, which is problematic on a navy blue car. I didn't even notice them before, now all the chips are white. So now it's a ridiculous effort to clean up after this product and the worst thing is that I ended up getting mediocreโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Nothing

Smooth as glass! Skip the Spray - Results

At first I thought the "clay bar" thing was just a gimmick. But I found that it seems to do what it promises to do. First I washed my 4 year old car. Then I used a tone bar just on the hood. I let it dry and then wiped the veil off with a microfiber cloth. I noticed that as I moved the microfiber towel over the hood, the towel glided smoothly over the surface. But when I ran the same towel over the fender and roof, the towel didn't slide. As if you had (so to speak) grabbed the color. Using aโ€ฆ

Great item, easy to use and works very well

Very good product, easy to use and works very well. I've always been very well taken care of, but I lost my wife and daughter in a car accident over two years ago. I was crazy and in March I lost the last little sole in my family. My lovely cat girl she was all that I'm gone but I'm trying to come to my senses and the other thing is I'm disabled in a wheelchair so the things I have to use had to be very easy to use, and it was all products like clear coat like polish for a clear coat andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Repair

NEVER USE AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 75 DEGREES. F

Heed the warning on the bottle: DO NOT allow this substance to dry on your paintwork (very difficult or impossible in warm or hot weather) or you will find residue very difficult to remove. If you still want to buy this material, apply it to very small areas at a time, no larger than 6 inches, otherwise it will dry out. Apply thick enough to stay damp, which means you'll need plenty of microfiber cloth to wipe away things that are still wet. Needless to say I will never use this MATERIAL againโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • The list is getting long.
