About Meguiars

Meguiar's Inc is one of the worlds leading surface care product companies and has been in business over 100 years. Meguiar's started out as a furniture polish laboratory and plant in a garage owned by Frank Meguiar Junior. Meguiar's now not only sell furniture polish they sell surface care products for almost every conceivable type of surface.

Meguiar's turned its hand to creating products to be used on the first kind of automobile, horseless carriages. As they were made out of wood the same products that were used on furniture were used on the carriages to give them a high quality finish.

The move into horseless carriages set the transition in motion which resulted in Meguiar's becoming the pre-eminence they are in the car wax business today.

Meguiar's Cleaner Wax is now the number one selling liquid car wax in America but throughout the early years the Meguiar's Mirror Glaze polishes and waxes were only intended for professional use. They were used by car manufacturers, car dealers, body shop experts and car detailers. When cars were put on display in car shows, most notably in the 1960's Meguiar's was always the product of choice for the custom painters looking after the cars. As the masses visited these car shows they began to notice the quality finish Meguiar's gave to a car when cleaned properly and pressure grew for retailers to start stocking Meguiar's Mirror Glaze products.

That's when they decided to roll out Meguiar's consumer products which continue to dominate the consumer market place today.
