Ultimate Polish

Re: Ultimate Polish

This looks like an awesome product - well done Megs!

Not sure I need any, as I have M205 as well as various pure polishes, but I'm looking forward to reading some reviews.

Re: Ultimate Polish

Quite a bit more, and that becomes quite evident after wipe off as the finish feels much like it would following an application of M07 or M81. Crazy thing is though, that wipe off is nothing like those two - it's more like M205, if not a bit easier even.

Hmmm, now you've got me interested. And where does it fall on the cut scale?

Re: Ultimate Polish

Does it have more polishing oils in it than 205? You gave me the impression on the phone once that 205 may not have many polishing oils, despite its undeniable depth.

Re: Ultimate Polish

Yes, it does have the ability to fill, much as any pure polish does. But with the inclusion of SMAT abrasives it's not merely a filling product.

Re: Ultimate Polish

I don't know about anyone else, but I like products that fill and remove. I am not a perfect detailer obviously so if I can make my car look swirl free without bringing out the DA then I'll do it. That's why I really like Mother's Sealer and Glaze as it fills in the light swirls really well.

Re: Ultimate Polish

A polish with some cleaning agents. This is sweet.

Re: Ultimate Polish

You mentioned that Ultimate Polish has a lot of polishing oils in it. Does that include fillers?

Re: Ultimate Polish

However I'm now not so certain as Mike avoided any reference to 85RD in his reply. From my point of view M205 doesn't finish well enough as compared to 85RD (whether DA or rotary), so maybe it is not the product I was looking for.

My intent was not to avoid mentioning 85RD, in fact I thought the reference was implied since I directly answered your question regarding the slickness of feel versus the almost tacky feel you get with a pure polish, which is what Ultimate Polish feels like. Further, the statement about UP being a consumer product as opposed to a pro line product.

Whether it's going to finish out nicer than M205 may well be paint, tool and operator dependant. We don't necessarily directly compare consumer and pro products to determine which is "better" for all situations.

Are you finishing 85RD with a rotary? If so, that alone should take UP out of the picture since, being a consumer product, it's not recommended for rotary use. Now keep in mind "not recommended" does not mean it's impossible to use that way. But since it was not developed with that application process in mind your results may vary widely. But we certainly did not develop a consumer product with our sights firmly set on any specific product.

Re: Ultimate Polish

Well since I do use non Meg's synthetic sealants, looks like I maybe out of luck.

Looks like you are.

Re: Ultimate Polish

Re: Ultimate Polish

I'm also very impressed at how fast and thorough all Mike's responses are.
That folks, is why Mike Stoops is the Internet Technical Specialist!

Agreed.

Re: Ultimate Polish

Does it work like the Ultimate Quik Detailer?

Re: Ultimate Polish

It certainly sounds to me like Ultimate Polish can be used, indeed is designed to be used, as a finishing polish. 85RD is considered by many to be the premier jeweling polish. It will be interesting to read the reviews of UP. I'm sure many people will be trying it out and comparing it to other jeweling polishes. It may have one advantage--namely, it is based on SMAT technology; hence the abrasives do not need to be broken down. One can stop the buffing cycle at any point. That's one reason I like M205.

I couldn't care less if a finishing polish is non diminishing or diminishing. What works is what is important.

If one intends to apply a non-Meguiar's synthetic sealant, then UP may not save any steps for you. EZ-Creme is a synthetic glaze, and therefore compatible with synthetic sealants.

Well since I do use non Meg's synthetic sealants, looks like I maybe out of luck.
