In this episode of Shop Talk, we discuss ceramic coating benefits, and the similarities and differences between Beyond Ceramic Coating M888 and Ultimate Ceramic Coating.
Both products are true, cross-linking coatings that cure and bond. Ultimate Ceramic Coating comes in a spray application but is not a spray wax or sealant. It contains technology to deliver the attributes of a true coating in a user-friendly product. Beyond Ceramic Coating has a crosshatch, back-and-forth application and is much easier to work with than a traditional coating. Both can be applied to paint, wheels, PPF, and plastic trim.
Both are durable, hydrophobic coatings with a very high chemical resistance. Beyond Ceramic Coating lasts longer, has more durability, and is a multi-year ceramic coating. To maximize the life span and durability of both, you want to maintain them by washing and wiping them down regularly.
With both products, the paint is left slick and with hydrophobic properties while adding darkness and gloss. Both will fill in minor swirls and imperfections.
Beyond Ceramic Coating costs more while delivering more durability, hydrophobic properties, slickness, and shine. It’s a one-layer coating that can coat two full cars and is a great value compared to other coatings. Ultimate Ceramic Coating costs less, is easier to use, and still provides outstanding durability, hydrophobic properties, slickness, and shine. It can coat three to four full cars.
Which is best? Both are amazing options. However, at the end of the day it just depends on your wants and needs.

I had a ceramic sealant from another well known manufacturer, but now I’m realizing the differences between a ceramic sealant and a ceramic coating. A coating is what I want. I’ll be buying this online as I can’t find it in stores.

If you are looking for the Ultimate Ceramic Coating it will be available at Advance Auto and Meijer as well as many online vendors. If you are looking for the M888 that will only be available through professional distribution channels and online vendors.

Great content, however the multiyear coating needs to have a time frame. We know all the factors involved but feel like you're avoiding the real question. Would like to know the baseline of the durability. Love your products, but I wouldnt buy a product without that information. Thank you

@meguiars 5 ай бұрын

Appreciate the feedback. The M888 does give a baseline of 2 plus years, again understanding there are many variables that positively or negatively impact longevity.

Does Quik paint detailer work with the C2000 clay bar? Can I use the same mitt for washing and Iron removal if I just rinse it throughly or do I need to wash it?

@meguiars 4 ай бұрын

You can use Quik Detailer with the C2000 clay bar. You can also use the same wash mitt, but you do take the chance of creating swirl marks if the wash mitt picks up loose contaminants. It would definitely be best to have to wash mitts and wash your mitts inbetween uses. 👍

Yes, Hybrid Ceramic Detailer is a great way to maintain one of these coatings. 👍

The Ultimate Ceramic Coating while utilizing different chemistry and application method should perform similarly to the Hybrid Paint Coating. The M888 Beyond Ceramic Coating will outperform the others especially when it comes to longevity.

Gents: Took delivery new 2024 Macan S two weeks ago. Used "Ultimate waterless wash & wax" last week, looks, feels really great. Having watched this video, tempted to buy "Ultimate Ceramic Coating'". Can I apply "Ultimate Ceramic Coating'" on top of the "Ultimate waterless wash & wax"? This will not impact the Macan S original paint from the factory in Germany? Please advise.

You would not want to put the Ultimate Ceramic Coating directly over the Wash & Wax but after several days and another good wash you might be back to a bare surface anyway. Here is a video that answers many frequently asked questions as well as discusses how best to apply our Ultimate Ceramic Coating... s.3m.com/86q3p2uy

Can the spray coating be stacked? Can a second coat be applied after one has been applied whether right after or weeks later?

@meguiars 19 күн бұрын

The only reason to apply a 2nd coat would be to cover a spot missed on first application. It really is designed for 1 application to be adequate. If applying a 2nd coat you would have to do so within 2 hours of the first or else the coating will reject itself.

Hi! For almost 2 years,i used Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel,but i found this Meguiar's Nxt Generation Polymer High Gloss Tire Shine in a shop. My question is,should i buy this Nxt Generation or continue with the Endurance one. Which one is better? Or what are the differences between this two? I need to buy a new one because i only have one application left.

@meguiars 4 ай бұрын

Not sure what specific NXT product you are referring to as that line has been discontinued now for some time. That being the Endurance Tire Gel may be the only one of the two still available. If you like the Endurance you may as well stick with it. It is a favorite of many.

Is the spray usable outdoors and under the sun?

@meguiars 5 ай бұрын

It is not ideal to apply in direct sunlight but in theory, if the surface is still cool to the touch you would be fine. Applying to a hot surface could make for a more difficult application.

Can I apply the Ultimate Ceramic Spray with a high quality ceramic applicator pad instead of spraying it on? I have a ‘22 WRX with lots of black plastic cladding and lots of glass. I use other products on those areas, so overspray of the Ultimate Ceramic could be an issue, especially since I detail my car outdoors and it’s been a breezy Spring season so far.

@meguiars 3 ай бұрын

We really do recommend a good microfiber towel as it has a lot more surface area to both spread and pick up product. An applicator pad might get loaded up with product very quickly causing you to then have to pull out microfiber towels anyway.

And vinyl race stripes?? And can you put paste wax on top of it say, months later??

@meguiars 4 ай бұрын

Typically a coating would replace waxing and offers a superior protection. There is no requirement to also wax on top of a coating. Also, keep in mind that you will likely change the water beading behavior of a coating by putting another protection on top of it. Whether or not a particular paste wax is safe on vinyl stripes depends on the particular product and is something you would have to ask directly of the manufacturer.

how long do I have to use the M888 Beyond Ceramic Coating once the bottle is opened? I coated 1 car yesterday and there is plenty of coating to do another car. Thanks!

@meguiars 3 ай бұрын

We recommend it be used within 30 days once opened but if securely closed and stored in a cool/dry climate it could last longer.

Hey there - I had the same question (but didn't ask) before seeing yours. When I saw yours and noticed they didn't reply I asked. Their response was the following (FYI): "The only reason to apply a 2nd coat would be to cover a spot missed on first application. It really is designed for 1 application to be adequate. If applying a 2nd coat you would have to do so within 2 hours of the first or else the coating will reject itself."
