Ultimate Wash & Wax results

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax results

I'm looking for something that will last longer. Right now I am using Meguiars Hot Shine High Gloss Tire Spray. The shine only lasted 3 or 4 days but the tires are still a dull black 10 days later.

What would you guys recommend for sustained gloss and durability?

I like GC Endurance Gel. Nice gloss, but not too glossy, and seems to last for a couple of weeks before dying back.

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax results

NXT Insane Shine aerosol lasts the absolute longest of any tire dressing I've ever used, with the most intense gloss too. At $7.50 a can, its pretty reasonably priced as well and available at your local Pep Boys/Strauss/Auto Zone.

If you're in the market for a professional product as well, I've been told All Season Dressing lasts extremely long as well (you can pick up a 32oz sample from ADS).

All Season Dressing lasts a lot longer than NXT Insane Shine Spray IMO.

When you applied the dressing, were you tires freshly cleaned?

I have gotten M40 to last on tires for about a week.

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax results

has anyone compared UWW against ChemGuys Wash+Gloss?
i bought the foam master from them this wekend and it came in as a freebie with another wash product so i said what the heck, right .... well yesterday i experimented foam settings with my rather dusty tahoe and then tried the ChemDudes stuff .... HOLY MOLY! this stuff rrrraaaaaaaaaaaaawks!
i love Megs and have every product but geeeeez this is some good stuff! and at $18 per gallon, might be some good competition.

Very nice Trailblazer SS, Paul.

I detailed one over the summer, they are real nice trucks.

Well thank you! I'll tell my wife, then stand back as her head swells. Seems like she is constantly being told " Nice ride" especially by younger guys (she's 33.)

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax results

Walmart had it around here for $8.87 with the $5 coupon. I skipped it as I am really in love with GC and have been using UQW after every weekly wash.

I'm really glad to see that it is a great product though. Maybe someday...

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax results

Wow! You can do your vehicle in an hour?!?! I'm envious. Takes me about 2 1/2 to 3 for just a wash, though I am OCD'ish about my car.

Can we see more pics of the TBSS? I LOVE those. If I could find one for the right price I would convince my wife to let me buy it!

Yup, a wash and dry only. My wife had everything ready to go for me, so as soon as I stopped the car I got out and got to it. The pic below is after I rinsed with big stream of water, UW&W beads nicely...

It is thick, but quickly disperses in wash bucket with warm water. Also, after washing my car during my lunch hour today I kept smelling fruit at my desk this afternoon and realized it was my hands.

I saw this in WalMart. And man...this is one THICK car wash. It's like yellow honey!

I LOVE the UWW. It leaves your car looking great with just a little effort.

For Mike Stoops - does it foam enough for a foam gun?

I have used it in my foam gun. I have also used GC and NXT wash and think this one (UW&W) works best for the Meguiar's over the counter line. I also have DP Extreme Foam Formula Auto Shampoo which in my opinion works best for foam production. Here is my wife's Trailblazer SS from Feb 28 of this year, UW&W in foam gun on it's lowest (least foam) setting. I was letting vehicle soak while I scrubbed tires and wheel wells, and yes, it was cold!

Have you actually used the product?

Its not that thick.
