I use it like a mist and wipe product.

The secret to applying Ultimate Quik Wax

Apply to entire vehicle
Start at one section of the vehicle and continue applying Ultimate Quik Wax using your dampened applicator pad or dampened microfiber polishing cloth until the entire car is covered with a thin coating of wax.

Allow the thin coating of Ultimate Quik Wax to flash dry.
In normal temperatures and humidity, Ultimate Quik Wax will dry in just a few moments and will be ready to wipe off.

Well, I've used UQW today for the first time and found that there is no way I could allow it to dry (and, in fact, it dried in no time) on the surface as it left nasty streaks which were quite a pain to remove. The method which worked best for me was to apply the product to one panel at a time using a damp applicator pad and then immediately wipe it off using a microfiber towel. After figuring that out, I can admit that UQW is a great product both in terms of ease of use and the result it gives.

I'm also with R0N1N, there is no way you can apply the product in the entire car before starting to wipe out. The product will "flash dry" as Mike also stated.
Also, I have a newbie question: is this a replacement for a regular paste/liquid wax application? Or is just a "in-between" waxes thing? I mean, is usually recommended to wax your car at least every 2 months, so how often could I safely use the UQW ? Once a month? after every car wash?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I use it after every wash.

thanks for the tip, I imagine that this technique can be use also with the ultimate detailer, and how about the liquid cleaner wax?

[Murr1525]

Ultimate Detailer, yes. THere is nothing to come back around and wipe off if needed of course.

No, the cleaner/waxes dont realy work that way. Best to use the foam applicator, working them in a bit. Then let them sit and dry, and remove with a cloth.

Have any of you tried using UQW as part of your drying process?

Give the car a final rinse with a steady stream of water to sheet the majority of beaded water off the surface. As you go to dry each section, spray some UQW on the panel and then wipe dry with a Water Magnet. Continue around the vehicle as you dry - no streaking at all, just a bright crisp shine. Works beautifully!

I do this for all my weekly wash customers. The beading does last quite a long time too.
