Mother`s phase three vs. meg`s hi-tech yellow

[accordmaniac]

i was wondering if you were given the choices between mother`s carnauba wax(not the cleaner wax) and meguiar`s hi-tech yellow which one would you pick?

[JustinR32]

For me I give the edge to #26, but not by much. The Mother`s is an excellent product, and I can easily see someone else preferring it to the #26.

A toss up in my book. Use whichever you have on hand or flip a coin.

I used both and I gave the edge to MOTHERS PURE CARNUBA WAX I really loved the product and it lasted a good 6 weeks on my car NOT to mention that the can is big so you can put a nice size applicator in it when working on your car

I love working with the Mother`s GC liquid; it`s SO easy to buff off, and leaves an incredible shine.

The Meg`s #26 liquid is almost as easy to work with, doesn`t stain the trim as badly, and costs less, but I`ve found it may only have 85% of the shine factor- it`s your call.

I`m definately switiching from Meg`s #26paste to one of those 2. I have both at home, just need more comparsion waxing :bounce

thanks for your replies, i ended up getting the liquid #26. but i think i might have nded up with mother`s but both discount auto and autozone didn`t have it.

i think mike from meguiars state that #26 should only be applied to a paint which is in perfect condition

[JustinR32]

outsider,



Both of those products are for paint that is in excellent condition. They are both pure waxes without cleaners; that`s what Mike is referring to. If you are going to use either product, you have to do the clay/clean/polish first, or all you`ll get is shiny swirls. For some people here, perfect paint isn`t an issue.... ;)

I had assumed (and I`m assuming again, that most other did along with me) that your paint was in great shape, given your 2 choices.

:cool:

oh, it`s a six month old car so i planned on claying, meg`s deep crystal paint cleaner, show car glaze, nxt tech wax, then #26. how does that sound?

[shaf]

I`m not 100% up to date on results of using NXT after #7, but it otherwise seems okay to me. :up

Both great products. Neither will disappoint. I like the Mothers CG Carnauba Wax - large can, great gloss, great durability, LOVE the smell too!!

Maybe it depends on climate? I used to be a loyal Mother`s Cali Gold Pure Carnauba user until I discovered #26. I like the look of both, but the #26 won hands down for durability in my climate.

You might have a point. I haven`t compared them in hot weather. During the cooler months (which are now in southern Australia) Mothers CG Pure Carnauba has excellent durability...it beads and shines for, atleast, a few of months of rain.



Does anyone else have any experience with this winter/summer angle for carnauba?



Logically, a natural wax (even one with a very high melting point like carnauba) will go softer in the high heat and not last as well as synthetics? True or false?
