Meguiar’s Deep Crystal Carnauba Wax – 16 Oz

Nutze dieses Produkt schon seit längerem und ich bin sehr zufrieden damit. Es ist einfach Aufzutragen und hiterlässt keine Schlirren oder Schmierer beim Nachwischen. Auch nach ein paar Regenfahrten ist noch ein guter Abperl Effekt merkbar.

I used to hand buff my entire car until I tried this stuff out with a cheap buffer from AutoZone. This thing will put a mirror finish on your car for sure and is very easy to apply and clean off. It lasts a decently long time which allows for fewer washes of the car and prevents a lot of the road grime from sticking to the paint and getting cooked on. Also helps with the removal of bugs that like to fly head-first into my bumper and explode. They get wiped away with just a bit of water even after sitting on baking in the sun for a while. Also makes my car smell good which the ladies love.

I’ve used all kinds of Carnauba waxes over the last 30 years. From bargain basement products to high-end products with outlandish claims. In the end, I still come back to Meguiar’s Deep Crystal. I’ve been using Deep Crystal for the last 10 years or so. One thing I can appreciate, is that it seems to use the same formulation during that time. Quite a few products, such as Liquid Glass, underwent several formula changes that turned a iconic product into something I wouldn’t use on my worst enemy’s car.
Following the directions, this wax goes on very easy and dries to a haze in a reasonably quick amount of time. One advantage this wax has, one can do the entire vehicle with a cool surface and come back to the first waxed panel and it still buffs off with ease. When it comes to time, this is a forgiving wax if applied properly with a thin coat. Heavy coats will result in a streaky appearance and a not so fun time trying to remove the wax. This is one of those waxes that WILL stain plastic trim. Although it won’t be as obvious as some, it will still show up.
The resulting appearance at this price point is why I keep coming back to this wax. Deep Crystal produces the classic deep wet look that also does a remarkable job with color saturation and hiding in minor scratches after it’s allowed to set. The surface slickness is still unparalleled to any wax I’ve used to date
Longevity has never been a Carnauba wax strong point. This product is no exception, though Deep Crystal does last longer than some waxes 3x it’s price, 4-5 weeks seems to be it’s protective lifespan. The water beads and water repellency are very admirable for a Carnauba product. If you’re looking for long last durability in harsh climates, this product along with most all other Carnauba waxes is not for you. If you have a garaged vehicle that doesn’t regularly see harsh climate conditions, don’t mind waxing frequently, and can appreciate the classic wet look of a Carnauba wax this product may be a good fit.
All in all, if you’re looking a easy-to-use wax with outstanding visual results Deep Crystal merits serious consideration. Are there longer lasting products? Sure. Are there products that produce a better looking result? Absolutely. However, you’re going to be hard pressed to find a better product that Deep Crystal especially at this price point.

great

Very good wax. I use it to wax my pinball machines play field.

Not sure yet about the longevity since not much time has passed since I used it but it is easy to use especially the removal task. Using it on an old airplane and it’s working well.

Meguiar’s Deep Crystal Carnauba Wax is my preferred wax that goes on easy and looks and is affordable. If you enjoy waxing your car often, this wax is for you.

It goes on quick and easy
It’s cheap
But unfortunately it doesn’t last all that long

The majority of carnauba waxes recommend working on one panel at a time. You apply the wax to a small section of paint, wait for it to haze over and wipe off. This is to avoid the wax getting too hard from leaving it on the paint too long. This wax is a little different. The instructions advise you to apply it to the whole car and then wipe it off. I have tried both methods with the same results.

Using a good applicator, you can apply the wax in a thin layer to avoid excess hazing. Wiping is very and requires minimal effort. I usually apply this wax at least four time per year.

The only downside is durability. This wax looks great and protects your paint, but it does not last much past a month if this is your everyday driver. Rains and extra washing take off all the slickness in a couple of weeks. Sunny climates will do the same.

If durability is not really a big deal then you are fine as most waxes won’t last past the 2 months anyway, no matter what claims they make. The best procedure is to wax whenever times allows you to. Even if you do it once every 2 or months, this would be a good wax for the job. My vehicle sits inside the garage most of the year, so this is not one of my problems.
