Ultimate Polish

Re: Ultimate Polish

Definitely keep this and similar products, and even waxes, off of matte/flat vinyl. Glossy vinyl can be waxed over without issue.

Re: Ultimate Polish

The "For glossy finishes only - Do not use on flat, matte or satin finishes" would apply to vinyl graphics that are matte as well correct?

Re: Ultimate Polish

Lots of great information in this thread. Definitely helped to clear some questions I was asking myself.

Re: Ultimate Polish

I think they might be referring to matte paint jobs which seem to be getting more popular these days (for some reason).

That is my first assumption and I think that's the reasoning

Bingo. With the growing popularity of matte/flat paint finishes we get a lot of calls asking if it's OK to use our polishes and waxes on them, or how to remove a scratch. In some cases we get calls from people who are upset that the finish of their car is now a bit shiny because they used a polish on it. Heck, we had one young guy call up close to furious that we "ruined" his new paint job. Seems he had just painted his car flat black and then went over it with Deep Crystal Polish. Not everyone is a detailing expert, so sometimes a little help in the form of a warning on the label can save someone a headache.

Re: Ultimate Polish

By definition a flat, matte, or satin finish is a non-glossy finish and the purpose of a polish is to add gloss to a finish through the increase of the surface's shininess or its ability to reflect light.

If you polish a matte finish, thereby adding gloss or shininess to the surface then the finish will no longer be a matte finish.

Re: Ultimate Polish

Can anyone tell me what, exactly, "For glossy finishes only - Do not use on flat, matte or satin finishes" means? It's the first thing the instructions say on the bottle.

Re: Ultimate Polish

It's an abrasive polish similar to M205, but with more polishing oils.

Re: Ultimate Polish

UP is a cleaner/polish or pure polish?

Re: Ultimate Polish

Looking forward to trying this. Wish I didn't have a full bottle of 205 left cause this could very well replace it. Besides, my car is pictured on the front of the bottle so it must be good.

Re: Ultimate Polish

Ok...

I used Ultimate Polish on the trunk and rear bumper of a black car before I applied Ultimate Wax.

I applied polish by hand. It goes on better than any polish/glaze I have used previously. Like the wax, it is rather runny.

It's fun to put it on, and I would describe it a bit like a liquid butter too.

The removal, if fully dried, is just slightly difficult. THerefore, just get it wiped up before it dries, and its removal will then be similar to other pure polishes like #7, but somewhat easier.

Overall, a fine polish. A polish that is fun to use and seems less messy.

The oils obviously darkened the finish and looked very nice after using it.

I would say this is a modern #7. A bit easier to use.

Thanks for the review! We're not supposed to let any polish dry anyways right?

How about the ultimate wax? Can't wait! Please compare it to NXT 2.0 as well. THANKS!

cool!

how do you think application with a DA would be? I am looking to get this product and use my DA on my blue PT...
