Meguiar's. Wax left yellow staining on my truck.

AI Highlights
  • - Meguiar's wax left yellow stains on a white Tacoma.
  • - The detailing shop couldn't remove them; they're stained into the paint.
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

Meguiar's wax left yellow staining on the front of my truck and under the doors. I have a Toyota Tacoma 2017, and it is white.

I had E's Luxury Detailing try to remove the yellow staining, but they said they couldn't. They said it was stained into the paint.

How do I send you pictures of the issue? Thanks, Mike.

Preferred solution: Help fixing my truck.

User's recommendation: Be careful with this wax!

Misspelled word

Meguiars - Misspelled word

I have called and emailed the company about a label on the Marine Wax that I purchased, but have not gotten a response. The directions on the back of the bottle says ling lasting instead of long lasting.

The product is not polishing like Mcguiars products I have used in the past and the unprofessional label is another red flag. Id like to have another product sent to me to replace the one that obviously wasnt Mcguiar quality.

Loss:
$39
Pros:
  • Hotline is helpful
Cons:
  • Label had a misspelled word

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: They do not stand behind their product. It says ling lasting not long lasting.

Hello, early this morning I used the Mequiars hot rim aluminum wheel cleaner on my rims. I sprayed my rims let set for 15 seconds and rinsed well.

I took a micro fiber cloth and wiped clean. I now have a milky white substance on my two front rims that will not come off, where I used your product. I have lived by meguiars products until now. This product has ruined my rims.

Please let me know if you want pictures to show what my rims look like now. I just purchased this vehicle 2 weeks ago and now the rims are destroyed because of your product.

Preferred solution: Rims fixed

AI Highlights
  • - Meguiar's tire cleaner damaged aluminum rims.
  • - Labeling is poor.
  • - Do not use on any wheel; it's like acid.

used a "Meguiar's" tire cleaner on alluminum rims and the product destroyed the finish. the bottle was and is still poorly labeled.

do not use this product on any wheel as its as bad as ACID...stay away from their rim cleaning products as they have poor marketing, labeling and education with product perpose. if your rims are made of teflon you may be okay with the ACID in this product.

but be warned these 2500.00 solid alluminum rims( the best money can buy) have to be pulled off the car and profeshionally pollished at

what is now a labor intensive costly task. shame on Meguiars for putting this *** on the shelves.
