Ultimate Wash & Wax vs. Gold Class

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax vs. Gold Class

Haha, I'll be using it tomorrow Michael! If you have some time, you're more than welcome to stop by my house in the morning. I live right up Melinda by Solana Park so I'm fairly close by to you. Just send me a PM for my address if you want to come and watch

I'll have pictures and video of the foam for you all when I do it

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax vs. Gold Class

Gee Isaac, I'd love to stop by and wash your car fo.....er..... watch you wash your car, but I'm afraid work will be getting in my way!!! But pictures and even a video would be fantastic - hopefully you can confirm what that caller told us. Honestly, we were a bit surprised given what we've seen out of a foam gun, but apparently the extra pressure fed through a cannon makes all the difference in the world here.

Looking forward to you proving or disproving this.

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax vs. Gold Class

LOL, I don't let anyone touch my car other than me so no worries. I still have only the initial factory swirls from Toyota on my 2010 Camry after all . I think tomorrow should be a nice test on the cleaning ability of UWW since I have a few water spots on the car. Might be making some etching but all in the name of science! Well, that and I still have to polish her sometime soon...

From what I have tried, Gold Class at a high ratio makes good foam, Hyperwash is excellent foam, and Shampoo + is good foam as well. The only one I didn't like out of the 3 was GC due to its need for more product to water. We shall see what UWW does tomorrow. I'll be mixing a standard mix and one with more product just in case the standard one doesn't fly well

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax vs. Gold Class

I was pretty impressed with UW&W when I used it, seemed very slick and the soap lasted forever. Got 2 Mariners done with one soap bucket and a little extra soap (like 1.5 ounce/gallon).

Wasnt sure if it would clog a foam gun or not.... nice to know it wont, though probably have to rinse it out after.

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax vs. Gold Class

So I went to Walmart today to pick up a bottle of GC, but couldn't find any. Saw the new UWW soap and got that.

I didn't really like it over GC...not as slick and twice as expensive (before rebate). Only good thing I liked about it was it seemed to dry easier (for what ever reason) and had a nice smell...

Is the GC getting replaced by the UWW? I hope not.

I don't think it's replacing GC. But after using UWW I'm not going back to GC unless I use it for details. I notice after using UWW the car stays cleaner even after a few rainy days.

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax vs. Gold Class

one thing i really like of gold class is that makes the paint look darker and "conditioned"

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax vs. Gold Class

We don't have UWW yet in Canada but went in a States for a day trip and brought back a bottle.

On my recent washes I was alternating between the GoldClass when I had to do some paint cleaning and to maintain the paint I was using Malco Ultra Violet wash and wax. This new Ultimate Wash&Wax has a much better cleaning ability and is slicker than my Ultra Violet so once I'm done with it I will stick with GoldClass and Ultimate Wash & Wax. Gold Class is slicker and richer so I will always keep some and will alternate with the UWW.

Great products ! Thanks Meguiar's !

Nice to read a head to head comparison of UWW & the competition. Thanks for sharing that!

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax vs. Gold Class

I've only used a few wash and wax soaps, but I must say that Ultimate Wash and Wax beats them all hands down. Sure it's a little pricey, but I would say that it is worth every penny. I think right now I prefer UWW to GC, because UWW definitely smells better (not that GC smelled bad, I just think UWW smells better) and I think it rinses off a bit better. Definitely a keeper - I will be buying this soap again!

hi, is there a MSDS for UWW yet?

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax vs. Gold Class

Just used the UWW and didn't see any improvement over the GC
Nice smell but I like the GC better

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax vs. Gold Class

One thing I've noticed with the Wash & Wax is after you are done drying, it doesn't play well with QD's and spray wax's being applied over it.
