Ultimate Liquid Wax Tips

[Jim Poffenberger]

I just used ULW yesterday, Apr. 10 on my 2011 Lucerne & didn't do something right. First, during application the product seemed greasy and even applying small amount had trouble applying it uniformly. Only did several sections at a time e.g. top and trunk. The evaporation process, had trouble determining when it was time to buff. Third, once done I backed it out into sunlight and observed a number of streaks. I had to use, what seemed to me, a lot of elbow grease and pressure to get rid of them. The streaking seemed to be in areas where the product was not completely thinned out to disappear with evaporation. Any more tips would be appreciated. thx

Great write up and great pics!! Bought the UW yesterday and can't wait to apply it to my new candy apple red Santa Fe.

Thanks again.

So how do you get rid of the streaks? Hopefully, Meguiar's will realize what a major problem this is.

Spray a light mist of water and wipe off. That should solve your problems.

Thanks for the tip. Today I used UQD, then rubbed hard, which I don't like to do, in the light I had. It seemed to fix the streaks, but it will be in different light tomorrow, then I can tell if I got them all.

I guess the point is that I never had a wax do this. To me this is totally unacceptable. Wax the car, then go to a Camaro club meeting and the car is covered with streaks. The Ultimate Wax bottle is now in the trash can.

You can send it to me instead of throwing it to the trash!

Here's our Jeep Wrangler and Shelby Mustang with the Ultimate and I had no streaking.

Wow, the shine is stunning. Especially the mustang. The ultimate wax has a certain sharpness in reflections and depth to it, at the same time has a nice brightness to it.

Just saw this post as I am new to the forum.. I agree, I just live in the next valley south, the San Fernando Valley.
I have a 93' Camry, it's been in the family since it was new, it only has 109K mi. on it but it looked bad because the clear coat was shot and peeling from the sun, but it ran like a charm.
So over Labor Day weekend this SOB bus driver got aggressive with me as he pulled away from the bus stop going into my lane. I didn't see him doing this and he sideswiped my car good. About $4K worth of damage to it. It was fully insured and they totaled it. Gave me over $4K for it and I bought it back.. the body shop fixed it for about $2700.00 as a favor to my family. So it's got a brand new paint job and door, quarter panel, from bumper and whatever else.. BUT YES, THE SUN IS BRUTAL HERE!

I have been using the UQW since it came back from the body shop..I leaves the car very very smooth, but I wonder if I should put a coating of regular wax on too?

What do you think?

What's the difference between the UQW and the Liquid Carnuba Maguiar's has?
