Gold Class Carnauba Plus Quik Wax

Re: Gold Class Carnauba Plus Quik Wax

Ok, so the discussion of layering Gold Class wax over the top of NXT/UQW has been around a long time, but has anyone tried layering the Gold class spray products over the top of the Ultimate Quick spray products?...

Off the top of my head for instance... do a full detail a few days before a show event, wash the car using the UQW as the car dries the morning of the event, and then following up with the Gold Class Spray Wax or Detailer right before the car goes on show?

Just curious as there is a lot of discussion of 'Vs', and I'm just wondering if there is any merit to just using both, lol..

No, Gold Class Quik Wax does not have hydrophobic polymers - those are reserved for UQW. GCQW will, on the other hand, darken a dark colored vehicle more than UQW will.

Re: Gold Class Carnauba Plus Quik Wax

Hi All,

Sorry to bump this up again, since we are high on water beading, does this GCQW also have hydrophobic ability like UQW?

Is it asking too much to have carnauba look with hydrophobic ability?

Thanks.

I've used it the past 2 weekends on my Java brown Sorento after washing. It looks really good on the dark color. Beads nicely. Almost as easy to use as UQW.

Re: Gold Class Carnauba Plus Quik Wax

@PPLd, the primary difference between GCQD and GCQW is that one is a mist and wipe and quick detailer while the other is a spray wax. Because of that you can expect the Gold Class Quik Wax to last longer than the detailer. Both have excellent darkening qualities to them but the wax is going to give you more of that - obviously this characteristic doesn't really reveal itself on very light colors, of course. The detailer is going to be a bit slicker in overall feel and should be the product of choice between the two when it comes to removing light dust and fingerprints. Just as UQD is a better choice than UQW for removing light contaminants, but UQW is great once the surface is completely clean. If you're a big fan of carnauba products on darker paints, then you're going to love both of these. Just use then appropriately.

Re: Gold Class Carnauba Plus Quik Wax

I got a few questions for Meguiar's staff that compare this spray wax with the Gold Class QD:
whats the major difference between the 2 gold class spray products?
which one last longer?
but how abt slickness? which 1 is more slick?
and for the look, which one had a better, more carnauba look?
my guess will be wax last longer and have more carnauba content and hence a more carnauba deep wet glow look,
but GCQD will hv more slickness and better cleaning ability?

btw how does they smell like?

Re: Gold Class Carnauba Plus Quik Wax

It's what I have been looking for. A real Carnauba topper on a natural wax. Every other Quick Waxes had sealants in it so couldn't keep the court clean.

Re: Gold Class Carnauba Plus Quik Wax

Really looking forward to trying this one, fantastic to see Meguiars investing in the Gold Class line.

As Joseph points out, most of our consumer line products tend to ship sometime in January.

Re: Gold Class Carnauba Plus Quik Wax

Just a thought...

Quick way to apply a carnuba finish to a base coat of, say, Ultimate Wax?
I'm thinking yes?

Mmm.. I really like this idea

Not a bad thought, Mark, not a bad thought at all!
