Originally posted by Michael Stoops View PostHere's a little tip at wipe off: if you find any visual unevenness after wiping it off (slightly darker patches due to inconsistencies in thickness of application) then very light spray some plain water onto a clean, dry microfiber towel and wipe the car down as a quick follow up. And by "very lightly spray" we mean exactly that. In fact, spraying a mist in the air and catching it with the towel is sufficient. Definitely don't over do it here. What happens is the polymers are still quite dynamic on the surface immediately after wipe off, and it they aren't pretty evenly distributed you may see some slightly darker patches because of it. That very lightly damp microfiber helps to shift things around, evening out the layer.
We hesitate to even mention this but we know some of you MOL folks are extremely particular about how things perform and you tend to notice very minute details. As you might imagine, if the above does happen it's going to be most noticeable on darker non metallic colors and under certain lighting or viewing angles. But the polymers are easily spread and the final result is fantastic!Bill Poirier

Re: Ultimate Wax
^^ FWIW I was experiencing the same thing with M21 on black paint. I tried Mike's method above and it works a charm!
...And it really isn't any extra work - I just consider it to be the final buff off - which I would have had to do anyway.Originally posted by BluelineI own a silver vehicle and a black vehicle owns me. The black one demands attention, washing, detailing, waxing and an occasional dinner out at a nice restaurant. The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

Re: Ultimate Wax
As long as the finish is smooth and glossy rather than any sort of matte and/or textured finish, you should be just fine. If the manufacturer is OK with a traditional carnauba wax being used on it, there is no reason why a pure polymer product couldn't be substituted.Michael Stoops

#26 is a polymer/carnauba. UW is 100% synthetic.
You could put #26 on top of UW but why?
Do you like the look, feel, shine, durability etc of #26?
Give the UW a try and see what look/feel you like better?
