If this is what you currently have on hand then go ahead and proceed on.

Without water access I figured that was my best option..

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere..

If water access is an issue, i'd use a 5 gallon bucket/ gamma lid with D114 then PP365/ UQW.
This is the time of year I don't feel comfortable using UWWA

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere..

since all products are within the Meguiars line, you should be fine. UWWA does leave behind a wax layer of protection so PP365 will not "bond" as well as it should if you had used D114 (Rinse Free Wash) and then added PP365/UQW. So I would agree with STRIFE of using D114 then PP365/UQW


I personally like using 3 gallons of water in a 5 gallon bucket with a gamma lid with pre-soaked towels waiting to be used. It makes clean ups quick and easy as well as reducing the washing process/time when I wash the car. I have white wheels so I still have to break out another bucket/foam cannon to clean the wheels but that is another issue entirely. I also have a spray bottle on hand of D114 in a 8:1 dilution ratio to pre-soak the panels prior to using the rinse free washing method of D114 at 256:1 dilution ratio. Ironically, I also find cleaning/washing the MF towels after they are used is easier since they are pre-soaked with wash solution vs the traditional 2 bucket wash method followed with LSP/drying

I would not worry about it too much as the solvents within PP365 will remove most of what UWWA leaves behind.

What about going thru a touch free car wash and then following up with PP365 then UQW....A basic wash with no wax or polish..

You could do that as well. Don't over think it.

I always do..lol..

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere..

It's the soap that is bad in the touch free car washes; it will degrade, or remove, the wax on your paint. I wish you could do just a spray off and then spot free rinse with no soap. If you're going to wax with PP365 afterwards each time, knock your socks off I guess.

Part of the testing I did with PP365 was taking it to a car wash to see if the harsh soaps would remove it. It didn't really phase properly cured PP365.

I got lucky with the weather and I'll be able to turn on the outside water one more time.. Wash then PP365 then wax..UQW or Liquid..not sure yet.

... I also have a spray bottle on hand of D114 in a 8:1 dilution ratio to pre-soak the panels prior to using the rinse free washing method of D114 at 256:1 dilution ratio.

I thought the 1:15 ratio was meant to be a very strong cleaner stripping off anything from the paint... Is your 1:8 not harm your wax protection?
