I recently tried out Meguiar’s Cleaing Wax on my black Toyota 4Runner. Here are my observations.

1. Solid cleaning wax. Car had a nice clean shine to it and it appeared to remove most dirt off the car. My rags were all dirty afterwards, despite having just cleaned the car. So it does a good job of gettting off the dirt.
2. Not a true ‘Finishing Wax’. The compound does a good job of cleaning it, but if you want a longer lasting shine, you will have to go with a 3 stage compound. One with a cleaner, refiner and finisher.

Summary: Since you’ll have to wash the car before hand, then use the cleaning wax, you might as well go with a 3 stage system. Just a touch more work for better results. But it is a good product and for a one prouct use its pretty solid.

I give it 8 of 10 stars and add it to my auto parts recommended list. Next time I intend to try the NXT stuff.
