Ultimate Quick Wax...the best/easiest way to apply and remove?

[tguil]

Been a while since I used Ultimate Quick Wax. What the latest suggestion for applying and removing it?

For the Ult quick wax, there should be no removing. If so, used way to much.

I wash the car, do a quick dry lap, then do a final dry lap spraying the uqw over eveything and wiping around.

I posted this thread about my procedure. Michael Stoops also chimed in.

There are basically two ways to use Ultimate Quik Wax:

1) wash the car as per usual and give it a final sheeting rinse; spray UQW onto a panel (just a couple trigger pulls while sweeping across the panel should suffice) then dry with your Water Magnet waffle weave drying towel

2) on a clean and dry car, spray a couple trigger pulls in a sweeping motion onto the panel, spread with a microfiber towel, flip to the dry side of the towel and give a final quick buff to remove any residue


In either situation, less is more - don't overuse the product!!

In the past, I have used a microfiber covered "bone" sponge to apply Ultimate Quick Wax. I find it easier to manage than a folded microfiber towel. I thought that the "bone" might be absorbing too much product. However, it shouldn't absorb more than a folded microfiber towel, right?

Hmm... I know my towel works best once it has a good uqw dampness to it.

Then a lighter spray on the panel is good.

Should have mentioned...I come back and wipe/buff with a dry microfiber towel.

If that's more comfortable for you, then go for it. You aren't using so much product that the foam inside the "bone" will be absorbing it all anyway - the product should just be staying in the fibers of the surrounding microfiber.

The only thing we don't like about using the "bone" is the limited usable space on it. A folded microfiber gives you 8 clean sides to work with when cleaning the surface with a quick detail spray. It's certainly not as big an issue when using a spray wax on an already clean surface, but for anyone thinking about doing this with a QD or a waterless wash like Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere, think again.

I've got a couple of those microfiber bones hiding in the garage someplace..... I might have to give this a go real soon with my UQW. Hmmmmmmmmmm......

I use two MF towels - one to apply and one to remove UQW.

Thanks for the response and the suggestions. I should add that I do use microfiber towels when applying and removing Ultimate Quick Wax on my Harleys. Even though a Harley may be "bad to the bone", like Michael said...the "bone" doesn't work in tight places and a Harley Davidson has a bunch of them.

Be careful to keep them away from your microfiber dogs Mike or else, well.......

Good info. I just ordered a bottle earlier today to try out, in anticipation of a regular maintenance wash for a "client."
