UQD or UQW

[gmitch23]

So which is better to use? UQD or UQW? I bought UQD that i use when the car gets dusty or bird poop in between washes. Which offers a better shine? Not really sure the difference between both.

Re: UQD or UQW

UQW provides a bit more durability than UQD but also takes a bit longer to apply and remove.

Both will bead water like crazy and offer a great shine.

I am always stocked up in both

Re: UQD or UQW

I have both UQW and UQD for I seldom use them.

When there is bird drops on my car, I will use water to gently remove them. I always keep a few bottles of water in the trunk. Then I will wipe the excess water off with MF.

When my car is dirty, I wash it. When I have more time, I wax it.

Re: UQD or UQW

FWIW, I NEVER use QD or anything else to remove bird droppings. I just wash my car soon after.

I use UQW after every wash and often use UQD on details while removing a LSP from the paint. If I could only use one, I would pick UQD.

Re: UQD or UQW

UQD is for daily use to remove dust, bird droppings, etc. You can use this on a slightly dirty surface (this is where you must use your best judgment on whether or not you can use UQD or if it would be safer just to do a regular wash), or on a clean surface, whichever you prefer.

UQW is a wax booster, something you probably don't want to use more than once a week. You can use this after weekly washings, or when you notice it is getting harder to wipe off your quick detailer. Note: UQW is designed and recommended by Meguiar's to ONLY BE USED ON A CLEAN SURFACE. Do not use this product to remove light surface contaminants.

Re: UQD or UQW

As mentioned, you probably want UQW and a spray detailer of some type on your shelf.

The spray detailer could be UQD/#135 if you want the polymer coating, or QD/LT/FI if you want a spray detailer that cna be used with claying also.

As far as removing bird droppings, I am certainly on the side of some using some extra lubrication such as a detailing spray to help get gunk off my paint whenever possible.

Re: UQD or UQW

i love UQW but since they do not sell it or a similar product in a gallon size i use m135 and i love it too

Re: UQD or UQW

I would say both. They each have their place in your detailing arsenal.

Re: UQD or UQW

Some of my friends are using UQW after a wash.

I wish they sell the Utlimate Wash n Wax in Canada. Did anyone try this new product from Meguiars?

Re: UQD or UQW

UWnW is really good also, esp if not using UQW after.

Re: UQD or UQW

Would UQD provide any protection if I applied it to my cars rims or is that a big no no??

[Murr1525]

Re: UQD or UQW

Its not a no-no.

Would not be much protection, but would shine them up.

Re: UQD or UQW

So UQW or NXT would be better?

Re: UQD or UQW

Probably, though I have no exact idea how well either hold up. Very harsh environment.

But many people do use Nxt and seem to like it.
