best wax for quick car show shine

[quikz28]

im bringing my car to another show this sat and im only gonna have friday nite to get it ready. right now its clean enough to go to the show, but i was wondering if there is a good wax i could put on friday nite to add that little bit of shine to the paint?

last time i applied nxt and i thought it came out great but it took a while to dry. how do u guys feel about applying a quick coat of megs gold class?

You could wash/QD, and then use UQW.

Could do the same again at the show, or take UQD with you.

If the car is already clean and ready to go, maybe give Ultimate Quik Wax a try.

It is super easy to use. Just spray on and wipe off, just like you would use a quick detailer (no need to let it dry and no white residue) and it leaves a really nice shine. You can even apply it while you are at the car show if you like.

My favorite pre-show prep is a thin pass of M07. Doesn't last pass the first rain or wash, but looks great.

Here is another vote for UQW.

Another vote for wiping down with UQD to remove dust and then a layer of UQW to increase the shine.

Re: best wax for quick car show shine

i always take uqd with me the day of the show and im constantly wiping it down during the day to get rid of the dust. i usually just wipe it down with UQD but should i also wipe it down with UQW afterwards?

Well, at least UQW the night before, assuming the car has a good base of wax on it.

To answer this question directly... I love gold class plus paste and it looks awesome. However, it seems to me to look better 24-48 hours after removal than it does 8 hours after. Just something to consider if your going to the show sat morn and waxing Friday night. In addition to speed, this may be why your getting all the spay wax recommendations.

ive never really noticed that cause usually it goes right underneath the cover once im done detailing it, maybe ill pay more attention to that next time to see if i notice a difference

So what did you decide on for tonight?

Re: best wax for quick car show shine

I love the new Ultimate Quik Wax - I was feeling under the weather but we were going to a huge car show in Ohio the next day. I washed and used UQW on my Honda which normally takes 2 coats of NXT to make it look nice and drove all the way to Ohio from WV. The car looked great when we got there and one of my friends asked what I had used differently on the car because it was the best it had looked. Told them I cheated on the detailing and used something new from Meguairs and they could not believe it. The judge called us first in the import trophy class and I have to admit that the car did look great. Thanks again Meguairs for giving us such a great product.

i ended up using one layer of megs gold class, id rather use the paste first then apply the quick wax during the show, cause it seems to me the paste hides a little bit of the lite swirls
