    Zach, I believe that's exactly what Mr. Stoops is eluding to. Hence the ability to dry the car with only one water magnet. When you can dry your car with one water magnet when it normally takes two means there is less water left on the car after rinsing.

    Interesting. Might be good product to use on my DD. I've always been a fan of NXT soap, but it's been getting harder to find in stores.

    Let me share a personal experience with this soap. As stated earlier, when I used this on my PT I was able to dry the car with a single Water Magnet for the first time ever. I use a Gilmour foam gun pretty regularly and was really excited to try UW&W in it since it suds like crazy in a bucket. My normal car wash is Gold Glass and I love the slickness it leaves on a well maintained finish. It's not the craziest foaming soap out there, but then again it wasn't really designed with that specific use in mind. Super Soap, being formulated for light pressure washes as an option, foams quite a bit more and by design it breaks down very quickly and rinses away very cleanly.

    Well, I got a bit of a surprise with UW&W in the foam gun. It actually foamed less than Gold Class! As it turned out, that didn't really matter. What did matter was that, when using a foam gun, you can't help but get a good bit of dwell time on the paint. Let's face it, you shoot that foam all over the car and then get to work on each section, probably adding more foam as you go. Compared to bucket washing, the dwell time can be much, much longer. And, provided you don't go so long as to let UW&W dry on the surface (something you never want to do with any soap) this extended dwell time yields the maximum potential of the dispersed wax. Even with a light rinse, UW&W rinsed cleanly and thoroughly from the paint. So thoroughly, in fact, that there wasn't much water left on the paint at all. Hence the ability to dry the car with a single Water Magnet. Very cool.

    Very cool product! I will definitely be trying some of this out! What is really so great with this is for my parents cars i.e. my mothers suburban this would be great! Save me some time and for my dad it may be easy enough (only being two steps, wash and dry) that he will actually wash his car now!

    We'd love to hear some comparisons and thoughts of UWW versus our other car washes. Some of you love Gold Class while others much prefer NXT. It follows then that some will prefer this over the both of those, some might not. We just want to make sure you've covered, regardless of your preferences and goals, and there certainly is room in the marketplace for a truly effective wash & wax product.

    Same here. However, I have found that NXT wash leaves an amazing look after being washed. Not sure there is a wash solution out there that can top NXT Shampoo, in my eyes. I will be trying the Ultimate Wash & Wax though as soon as possible.

    I guess I can sacrifice the luxury GC smell over the lemony smell if it gets my rigs nicer looking and prolonging the shine! Water spots here are horrible, if the water even looks at my rigs they start spotting up!
