Wax Recommendation After Ult. Compound and Polish

Re: Wax Recommendation After Ult. Compound and Polish

Good job! I thought both wax layers must be from a same product! have you ever test both layers with UW to compare? what's your car's color?

Color is a 24 year old medium blue-gray. Never compared, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

But if I had to make up a reason why I see a difference: Since products are made to only stick to paint they don't layer. But, since paint is like a dry river bed, some of the crevices are not filled by the UQW leaving room for some carnuba to bond to. Hence, a visual effect that appears to soften the sheen. But that just might be the voices in my head.

Meguiars LSP's (waxes and sealants) all play well with each other...two coats to make sure you have even coverage. It seems to work well for me!!

So many combo's for all skill levels works for me too.

Meguiars LSP's (waxes and sealants) all play well with each other. Meguiars doesn't buy into the layering syndrome that some other companies do. They state two coats to make sure you have even coverage. It seems to work well for me!!

Re: Wax Recommendation After Ult. Compound and Polish

I tried that advice and am very happy.

-UW for the first (base) coat (1 coat)
-M26 Carnuba for the second (coverage) coat.
-UQW for a booster.

Re: Wax Recommendation After Ult. Compound and Polish

Im sorry wasn't I clear, I have dark color car and I have read that carnauba makes it more deeper gloss if I I use UQW would i still get the deeper gloss?

Re: Wax Recommendation After Ult. Compound and Polish

Havent seen any complaints yet.

I would use UQW over anything.

Re: Wax Recommendation After Ult. Compound and Polish

quick question, my last coat of wax is Gold Class Carnauba Plus. I'm seeing alot of sugestion to use UQW for maintenance(inbetween washes) would this defeat the purpose using carnauba as top layer of my wax? UQW is synthetic.

Re: Wax Recommendation After Ult. Compound and Polish

Traditional would mean that you apply the wax in a thin coat, and then let dry, and then buff off the excess.

The new Ult. Wax, and esp the liquid, apply a bit differently. Generally you want to apply to a panel or two at a time, then remove right away. Sometimes with a few drops of water if you have any smears.

Re: Wax Recommendation After Ult. Compound and Polish

... Ult. Wax or Nxt 2.0 would be most durable. They apply a bit different, Nxt 2.0 is more traditional.

... although the application of NXT is going to be more traditional, and probably easier than Ultimate Wax.

Interesting,,, I can't understand what's your mean from "traditional"?
when we talking about liquid and paste waxes, yeas, the past has more traditional style. but what's the issue here while both are liquid?

Re: Wax Recommendation After Ult. Compound and Polish

best shine so far is NXT wax .then i use quick wax AFTER A COUPLE OF WASHING TO BRING OUT SHINE.

Re: Wax Recommendation After Ult. Compound and Polish

I have been using NXT 2.0 Liquid with good results on many different colors and paints. You really can't go wrong with NXT. Ultimate Wax would be another good option, although the application of NXT is going to be more traditional, and probably easier than Ultimate Wax.

Tell us a bit about your car. Some folks will make recommendations based on your car. Although choice of wax is sometimes a very personal preference.

Also Link 2 is Ultimate Quik Wax, which is often considered a booster for your base coat of wax. So you wax your car with the "common" wax as your base coat and after the next time you wash you use Ultimate Quik Wax to boost your base coat of wax. Ultimate Quik Wax can also be used routinely to increase shine after you dust your car.

Re: Wax Recommendation After Ult. Compound and Polish

Generally, you would a liquid/paste wax as a 'base', and then a spray wax as a 'booster' after future washes.

As far as which, kind of up to you. Ult. Wax or Nxt 2.0 would be most durable. They apply a bit different, Nxt 2.0 is more traditional.
