Ultimate Wash and Wax - didnt know it could do this

[Tuck91]

I was suprised just how much UW&W can make paint pop. Pulled the car out in the sun and was shocked how great the paint looked for just a simple wash that I had to take a few pictures, it looked even better in person.

I think the reason it looked so good was because I washed every panel of the car, let it dwell for five additional minutes, then rinsed.

The customer was very happy and insisted that I did more to the paint than just wash it, LOL.

I actually really like the Ultimate Wash and Wax. I didn't want to like it because I like rinse-less washing so much, but the UW&W forces me to use a traditional wash more often.

I also like the smell a lot more once it is dispersed in the water and used during the wash, as opposed to just sniffing it in the bottle. It makes for a very pleasant washing experience.

Never tried an actual rinseless wash, I tried your Last Touch method on an extremly dusty Ford Ranger a couple months ago and it worked pretty good.

Does your paint bead well after the use of UW&W?

Thanks for the nice comments about UWW, Nick!

But with all due respect to that admittedly very nice product, you do keep this car impeccably well maintained for your client - this isn't the first time we've see it here on MOL. This looks to be a case where you and UWW both helped make each other look good!!

Yes, you are correct Mike.

I can only imagine that the car will stay looking like that with the continued use of UW&W and the maybe occasional application of UQW.

Thanks Rasky, I was shocked how well the flake popped as well for just a simple wash, no QDs, or spray waxes afterwards.

I think I have to pick some up at Walmart now......that paint looks too good to resist UWW.

Nick,

I did some testing on extremely filthy vehicles (the kind that get 1-2 washes per year, literally) side by side and the part washed with UW&W was definitely different. It seemed to create a very tight, small bead across the entire area.

I wouldn't say UW&W leaves the same amount of beading as say UQW, but it is certainly a noteworthy improvement. It's a great way to maintain an existing wax coat IMO.

The reason I asked is since I have found that on several of the vehicles I maintain weekly UW&W will bead for about a week to a week and a half, thats usually by the time I go to wash it again anyways.

The test you did makes me more confident in UW&W. Thanks for sharing that with us.

I've noticed UW@W really makes paint POP on a well maintained vehicle. If the paint is neglected, the difference seems to be not as noticeable. I started using UW@W during the winter. With all the salt and sand, I was not really impressed with it. But, now that the salt is gone and my vehicle has a nice coat of wax (that the salt doesn't immediately eat away), UW@W definatley creates a nice shine and beads well.

I was impressed with how well it handled salt and winter road grime actually.

One of the aforementioned vehicles I tested UW&W on was a truck that hadn't been truly washed since I detailed it one year ago. The owner says he did a coin-op power wash rinse only a handful of times. He came out to San Diego from Missouri and had a nice coating of salt/grime.

For me, UW&W worked great to clean it off. Of course, I'm sure results will vary in a case by case basis.

Re: Ultimate Wash and Wax - didnt know it could do this

I wasn't saying that UW@W didn't wash off the salt and sand, it did. What I was trying to say how the end result looks on a nicely prepped, waxed surface, compared to a non waxed surface.
