Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere

Are there certain stores that will be receiving these? I just checked all my local auto store shops (that also carry a wide range of meguiars products) and no one has the product yet.

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere

Was wondering if this is going to be made available in a bulk packaging, like Ultimate Wash&Wax was available. $15 for a small bottle is good, but it will run out pretty fast. Also, how many washes can I do on a typical sedan (Say accord or similar) from single bottle - assuming that the car is washed regularly and not heavily soiled?

You'll want to look at the Rinselss Wash in the Pro Line.

The bottle says 3-4 average sized cars w/ average dirt, but it sounds like you'll be using it closer to a traditional detailer, so your usage should be comparable to what you get w/ QD/UQD (at least, that's what I've found).

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere

Mike,

I apologize if this question has already been asked. When I go on road trips in my Miata space is extremely limited as you know. I only have roomn for one bottle it I am taking some NXT soap along to wash the car. So what should it be? Currently I take UQD, NXT Wash, Meg's dyring towels and detailing cloths. It appears that I could use UWWA to do a quick clean as I wouild use UQD and replace the need to take the NXT soap. If I can do a quick water rinse, dry the car and then use UWWA, that would appear to be the way to go and would free up some valuable trunk space.

Can you share your thoughts on this?

Thanks,

510GUY, if you're looking for an excellent all around product to clean up the Miata on extended road trips, then UWWA is exactly what you want. For those road trips it could replace the NXT Car Wash Soap, UQD and UQW combined. You wouldn't even have to do the water rinse and dry first, just use UWWA with several microfiber towels and you're done. If the car is extremely dirty and you really feel the need to do a water rinse first, we'd suggest swinging by a coin-op wash, give it a quick once over, and then while it's still wet use the UWWA to really clean the finish and leave a nice bit of synthetic protection behind.

I don't imagine I could get away with calling that the "Iowa Method". Shawn T might object.

Due to some recent time constraints, I've done this a few times and I love UWWA!!! On a black car this stuff is great!

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere

When will UWWA be available in a gallon size? Pretty sure there will be demand for it....

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere

I picked some of this up a week or so ago. I tried it on a section of my blue pontiac and it works very very well! And not to mention, the SMELL is spectacular! The stuff smells like raspberries. Very very pleasant smell, highly recommend it!

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere

Will this product cause swirls or scratches when all you have to do is spray and wipe a dirty car/SUV??

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere

It will not cause problems as long as you use it the way it is intended. Just use it heavier than you would a QD.

When used properly (see Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere - Tips & Tricks for more on this) it won't scratch the paint. Of course, there are limits to anything, and just as when you bucket wash an extremely dirty car you hose it with some pressure to knock off the really heavy stuff, you need use that same kind of common sense with UWWA.

For example, let's say you live in a northern climate where the roads are salted in winter and your car is covered in heavy road salt. It's not practical to hose down the car at home (it's actually common for outside water to be turned off to prevent pipes from breaking) or you live in an apartment complex and simply don't have access to a hose and bucket. The automatic car wash looks like a swirling torture chamber, and the brush at the coin op wash isn't much better (and may actually be worse). So, you go to the coin op place and pressure wash the car, knocking off all the heavy stuff. But the car still looks far from clean. That's fine - it's the perfect time to finish the job with a bottle of UWWA, and finish it safely.

Or you live in an area where it rains a lot and you don't have access to a hose. Even after a few hundred miles of driving in the rain you can safely clean the car with UWWA, something you wouldn't even consider with a QD spray. Personally, I drove my weekend toy home from Las Vegas in a downpour following SEMA last November. From the LV Convention Center to my house is almost exactly 275 miles, and you can imagine how dirty my car was. But UWWA, and several microfiber towels, safely cleaned the car in no time.

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere

Can i use this if my car is wet from watering off chunks of dirt from my car?
i have been waiting for my car to dry all the time and its "wasting my time"... and yes i also purchased the water magnet but i dont want to risk scratching my new paint w/o the UWWA.
