Boy, that’s a mouthful – too many words. Let’s call it Meguiar’s HCLW for short. I’ve used HCLW for almost 6 months now on my Harley, and I like it! I like it enough that I even filmed recorded a video on using it and the results I got.
The gist of it is that Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic Liquid Wax (HCLW) (Amazon Affiliate link – if you want to help support the site at no extra cost to you when you order a bottle) is an easy-to-use and effective product. It leaves no residue on non-painted parts (rubber seals, plastics, glass, etc.). Its only downside is that if you let it cure too long, it’s difficult to buff off – try a microfiber cloth and spray detailer.

Covered in suds:
Afterwards, I rinsed the bike off, “rumble dried” it, and then took a leaf blower to it to get the little droplets out of their nooks and crannies. Then, it was time to apply the wax!
Waxed Up:
After waiting about 20 minutes (it was humid – if it’s drier out, the wax takes less time to cure), it was time to buff off.
All Done!
Pros:
Goes on easy.
Hazes up nicely.
Makes maintenance cleaning (dust & light debris) faster & easier.
Makes washing easier.
Cons:
Hard to buff off.
Yep, it’s that simple, folks! When you finish applying it, you’re left with a super slick finish on your vehicle, and cleaning off light dirt and debris (think: bugs) is quick and easy, and washing is faster as well.
