Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Pre-Wax Prep has a sophisticated SiO2 chemistry that not only quickly and easily removes minor defects without scratching, but also leaves behind a fine layer of Hybrid Ceramic protection. The ceramic layer acts as the perfect foundation for Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic paint protection products to build on. Hybrid Ceramic Pre-Wax Prep contains fine polishing agents, leaving paint shiny and glossy, while really making colours pop. It also provides the paint with polishing oils to keep it looking better for longer. Application and removal feels more like a wax than a traditional compound; it goes on smooth, and wipes off with ease.
