Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere

^ when i used UQD on my entire G or Subie, I believe I used about 20 of the el cheapo(Walmart/ Can Tire) 16x16 MFs. I try to wipe in one direction only then flip to a clean side. I personally don't think any damage was done to the paint. I do noticed a bottle of UQD will go pretty fast, as I would suspect the UWWA.
I actually become very fond of ONR, great product....just sorry I bought 2 gallons of it, and then Megs releases it's own version of it....if Shawn and Mark kleis feels soo comfortable with this environmentally sound product(s)....so can I....even though I have no water restrictions here in Vancouver

Very awesome Meguiars!

Was this announced at SEMA too? Because if it was I have a feeling you guys gave someone a big wakeup call which has me all the more excited about this product.

I for one, feel the pricing is very fair for a consumer product and I KNOW this will do great in the stores.

All 2012 products including the ultimate wash & wax anywhere were announced in SEMA.

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere

So if you are recommending a coin-op wash before using UW&WA. I take it that it can't cut dried salt crust? I am very interested in this product.

There are limits to what any product can do. In extreme cases you're probably going to be better off hosing off the really nasty stuff first. But I drove back from Las Vegas on Friday in the rain and my car was filthy when I got home. I used this product over the weekend to clean it up and drove the same car to work today. And this wasn't my daily driver either, but my weekend toy!

I ensure you I'll try this product, regardless of the typo in the description.

You know what? I'm leaving the typo there, just because.

Mike's assurance is better than insurance.

Nicely played. And the banter that followed made my Monday!!

A rinseless wash is when you add a product to a bucket of water and use that to clean your car. You dip your sponge or microfiber in the bucket and use that to remove dust and dirt from your vehicle and then dry. There is no rinsing with a hose involved like you would do in a traditional wash if you used car wash soap on your car hence the term rinseless wash. Optimum no rinse is a good example of that.

A waterless wash is a product you spray on and wipe off to get the dirt off or your car. It doesn't require mixing it in a bucket of water. You just spray it on and wipe off the dirt with a microfiber towel.

Beautiful explanation!

This will be perfect for in me in the winter right after a quick spray down at the quarter car wash. Can't wait to try it!

+1

Of all the new cool stuff just announced, this is the product I am most excited to try. For the past few years I always go to the coin op before doing an ONR, after an ONR wash I hit the car with Last Touch. I am hoping with UWWA that I can reduce my process to one step after going to the coin op.

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere

How does the polymer load compare to a UQD+UQW combo? Is Durability worse, the same, or better? I'm a die-hard fan of UQD as a weekly waterless wash with UQW thrown in every 2-3 weeks as well. Let me preface that by saying that my car (92 Lexus SC400, Royal Jade) just had a full restoration by Jamie @alpha dog detailing (he rocks!) and I swear I could probably pour honey on the hood and it would slide right off!! My UQD/UQW process is just maintenance of his detail, but it works awesome.

Anyway, if the durability of UWWA is similar, then this might replace that combo. It might make UQD/UQW sort of redundant for me (what am I going to do with all of my 156/135 now?) :-)

Thanks!

Durability is going to be more on par with UQW than UQD, the latter having very little durability but then again, it's a quick detailer and not a wax. But where this really differs is in how dirty a car can be when you use this. If you've ever looked at your car and debated whether or not it was too dirty to just wipe down with a quick detailer (and honestly, if you have to think about it you probably should wash the car rather than just QD it), then it's time to reach for this. As an example, after driving to and from SEMA in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago, my car was pretty filthy. The drive home included 200+ miles of rain in moderate traffic on roads that rarely see rain, so the amount of crud loosened up and thrown onto the car was pretty bad. The back of the car was covered in a nasty blackish grunge (the sides weren't a whole lot better, especially down near the rocker panels) and there's no way in the world I would have just wiped down with a quick detail spray. But Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere was awesome as it easily broke down the crud and cleaned the car up beautifully. And while it does work extremely well as a quick detailer, it's probably a bit pricey for some to use that way every time. But it really does a fantastic job.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the info! I know you're not supposed to use UQD if your car is dirty, but its rained the last two weekends (Fri-Sat) here in SoCal and I was driving in both of them. I used a little more UQD on the initial panel and my plush MF and with literally no pressure, I was able to wipe it clean! As I've mentioned, this is probably because of what is already on the paint from my full detail as nothing sticks to it.

Anyway, even if I used UWWA once a week, if I get 4 washes out of a bottle, that's cheaper than going through a drive-thru touchless car wash 4 times. If it looks like and lasts like UQW, then this might replace UQW for me as I can do it all in one step vs. two.

This is the line of thinking we're hoping more people will take, because it's exactly what this product is designed for.

Absolutely! Now this WILL be available in 1-gal/5-gal capacity right? :-)

When can we start ordering all of these 2012 products? I don't want to wait!

If they know what's good for them LOL

[Garage Troll]

I can't wait to try this. It's going to be great to recommend to friends and family. When you break it down it is considerably less expensive than them going through the darn coin op.

Early next year. Your best bet will probably be Walmart.
