Re: Ultimate Wax
A couple of weeks ago TimG quoted a post from a Indonesian forum which had pictures of the Meguiars Asia Pacific Middle East Sales & Marketing Meeting held in Sydney, Australia.
These photos and comment appeared amongst all the others - was wondering if this is the Ultimate Wax in action?:

Re: Ultimate Wax
To me the most important thing stated about this product is that it does NOT include any cleaning components. This provides positive layering attributes and also helps alleviate concerns of removing polishing oils from a previous step ("step" being a keyword here with the introduction of Ultimate Polish). It positions it more as a pure LSP than NXT 2.0, which is not exactly an AIO but has cleaning elements. I also assume the lack of cleaner contributes to the non-staining feature which is huge.
Second important is the increased durability - if nothing else a "sealant" must be durable by definition and NXT 2.0 wasn't matching up well in the market as of late. Third is, of course, the increased "shine" of which importance is self explanatory. These three attributes together, as Akimel pointed out earlier, match it up competitively with the likes of BFWD. Ultimate Wax is a product that was needed in Megs lineup and kinda expected as it is just time. Great move on all accounts.
Now, aside from the most important, the most interesting part is the claim that it "darkens" the appearance of the paint. I don't really know of any synthetic making this claim (do you?) so this could be a unique attribute of this product - technologically bridging a synthetic into the carnauba space."The Dude Abides"

To me it sounds like they are related due to the following:
- They both don't stain trim;
- They both darken the paint;
- They both can be applied in direct sunlight or on warm surfaces.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
Here's a little shot taken at our SEMA booth - it's the foam applicator pad and microfiber towel packaged with Ultimate Wax. Notice anything different about them?

Re: Ultimate Wax
Hmmm, I think the black applicator is a no go, to be honest. The yellow one is great for checking on cleanliness (whether it be during application or after cleaning for re-use), and is pretty much the "ultimate" applicator already.

Re: Ultimate Wax
I'd like to see if my applicator has any dirt/contaminants and if it needs any sort of cleaning. The yellow applicator makes it easy to see those dirt/particles, but the NXT's included applicator is also dark purple which makes it also difficult to see if any foreign matter made it into the applicator.
No biggie in my opinion. I think it adds to the mystique of the ultimate wax. same as with the other ultimate meguiars product, i think black is the Meguiar's Ultimate Division color.. As with NXT's purple and deep crystal's maroon. As long as it delivers what it promises.
