Ultimate Wash & Wax

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax

Does Meguiar's plan to discontinue any of their current car wash products with the release of this new one?

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax

Many thanks for the answer. I wonder what GC shampoo does to "condition" paint then?

Gold Class shampoo possesses special paint conditioners. They may be similar to Meguiar's trade secret oils (found in their paint cleaners, polishes, waxes, and sealants), but I'm just guessing here.

I've yet to find a better shampoo on the market.

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax

No, Gold Class Shampoo & Conditioner contains no wax or sealant nor have we ever advertised it as such. Ultimate Wash & Wax and Gold Class Shampoo & Conditioner are quite different from one another in that regard.

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax

I'm thinking this would be an excellent product for my mom.

I've been teaching her the importance of proper paint car (and my sister too) but they never seem to have the time to really clay, clean, polish and then wax their cars.

This should at least help preserve their paint from wash to wash. Might pick up a gallon as a gift for them

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax

One more question for Michael: since the official advertisement of Gold Class Shampoo & Conditioner states that it is meant "to both wash and condition paint in one easy step", can it be also considered a wash-and-wax type of product? Does GC Shampoo contain any wax? I purchased a bottle of it this morning. It's been quite a while since the last time I used that shampoo, but I remember that it always used to leave the paint looking radiant, which makes me think that it might contain waxes/sealants.
Thanks

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax

Is this available yet? I've gone to my local autozone and pep boys with no success.

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax

Question:

Why did Meguiar's jump straight to using their "Ultimate" brand name with their first entry to Wash & Wax? Doesn't this sort of limit their advancement in this area as far as naming goes?

Heh

As stated earlier, this Wash & Wax uses a dispersed wax rather than a soluble wax, so it's already far in advance of other such products. Combine that advanced technology with the other advanced polymers included in this product and the term "Ultimate" really does fit.

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax

Hi all. I haven't been here for a while.

Looks like there are a number of new products that I'd like to try - I enjoy doing my own comparisons. But I'd probably be much more willing to do so if they were made available in smaller (i.e.: inexpensive) trial sizes vs. having to buy the full product. I'll bet I'm not the only one that has a collection of bottles that are 3/4 full of product I'll probably never use again.

Just a suggestion.

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax

Sounds interesting Since I already have the NXT, the Soft Wash and the Gold Class in my collection, I will also try this one
Is this considered a mild or a medium strong soap? Since the NXT soap is a little bit too harsh on the wax, I genereally use the Gold Class whenever the car is not that dirty.
If the car is very dirty, I go for the NXT since I experience the NXT to be stronger.

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax

So it will leave a film of wax on the windows too, I guess I could use it in conjunction with the UQW I use now to keep my windows water repellant!

Well, technically, yes - but it's going to be a very, very minimal film. It is NOT going to be like applying NXT Tech Wax 2.0 to your glass, for example, or even UQW for that matter.
