Meguiar's 3 - In -1 Wax
- Thread starter BlueOvalFitter
- Start date
I've used it on my Ram and Wife's Explorer. Goes on easy comes off easy. It's not super aggressive so it only removed some swirl marks and light scratches but boy did it polish enough for deep deep wet paint. The wax protection seems to be holding up well after a few weeks. The simplicity of the 3-1 saves a lot of steps. I'd say it's no compound but the results are pretty impressive for what it is. I'll compound next tine first.

I have always been a big fan of Meguiar's Cleaner Wax. In fact, I have a container of the paste wax. I was thinking the 3-IN-1 was similar to the cleaner wax, just less aggressive. Correct?

I use it. It's a mild cleaner wax.
It's not as good as NXT2 and does not last as long. However, it's easy to use and cleans up the paint a little. I have other products that are much more aggressive cleaners. But they are awful waxes.

Hey Cujet, you and I joined BITOG at the same time.
NXT. Wow, I haven't thought of that wax name in awhile. I never tried the NXT2, but have used the original NXT a lot. IMO, that was some great wax!

I would like to know where it falls in line with these three. Either way I'll be trying it out with a Hex Logic heavy polishing pad.

I like the gold class best. Super easy to apply and remove. I try all others and find going back to Gold Class.

Surely you're exaggerating. Even Meguiar's entry level products last a month or two.

I'm a big fan of meguiars products but as far as cleaner waxes go you just can't beat griots garage all in one sealant. Easy on easy off, even in direct sun... plus looks amazing even with just a basic $20 dual orbit buffer.
Pic in direct sun after a coat of GG all in one on the cheapy buffer. This truck is a Michigan daily driver which sees many washes using a cheap wash brush.

I definitely second the Griot's One-Step Sealant.

Griot's really is an excellent brand, and One-Step is a standout in their lineup.
I finished off the bottle two months ago on my MIL's 430GC and I'm going to try Meguiar's 3-in-1 next. We'll see if it is a comparable product.

Man, I just love a nice, clean black exterior on ANY vehicle. The paint looks wet.
Very nice, RVW.

This is my cousins wifes 2017 NAVI. She uses Meguiar's Gold Class soap. My son gave her a 16 oz. spray bottle of the same ceramic spray detail he used on my truck a few weeks back.
So, she washed it with the MGC and used the ceramic detail spray. I can't wait to see the paint after she does a more in detail, detail.

Meguiars recommended the 3 in 1 wax when I told them about etch marks on my Corolla's bumper. It is an interesting product. White and very thick consistency - almost like liquified clay! It did the trick but unfortunately after the next snow storm the spots were back so I'm in search of a tougher coating. But for cleaning defects, it seemed to work very well and I liked it a lot better than the old burgundy bottle cleaner wax that used to be popular.
