  • Gold Class+ and Ultimate Protectant

    I got to use the new Gold Class Carnauba Plus two days ago on a 1964 Buick Skylark for a Car show. I used it as a base coat with a top coat of Pinnacle Souveran. Because both look amazing red, it was a match made in heaven. With the longevity of the new Gold Class Plus and the looks of the Souveran, the paint popped, shimmered and reflected amazingly. Many impressed onlookers stood next to the car and marvelled at the glowing red. I applied it via G110 on a 4" LCC finishing pad. I put beads on each of the dimples on the pads, stamped it around a bit on each panel and applied it thin and even on speed 3. It was put on as thin as I could, so thin I could hardly see it. It went on amazingly easily and came off almost as easy. I removed it with an Indigo Edgeless Cobra MF, it only took two (quartered) to wipe off the enormous 60's muscle car. The slickness and the shine was equal to that of the old Gold Class, hopefully the longevity will prove to be much better. I give it 8.5/10

    Ultimate Protectant has become my new favorite Meguiar's product. It is amazing on literally every surface I've applied it to. I was really blown away when I applied it to the plastic on a customer's 2006 Mazda Speed6 (its been seen in previous threads). It dried so nicely and dressed so evenly and has lasted fairly well so far. I love the way it glosses without becoming greasy and I'm impressed by the fact that it makes textured classic look new. It is easy to apply, especially because it is a lotion. My only real complaint lies not in the actual product, but the bottle. It collects in the cap and ends up dripping down the side (maybe why it has grips ). It makes a great trim restorer (major competitor against Mother's Back to Black). I can't wait to use it on the always weathered trim on my Cutlass. I really like the smell too, like all Meguiar's products. Pics to come. 9.5/10

      Finally tried Ultimate Protectant yesterday as it warmed up in northeast Ohio. This is the best automotive product I have ever used! I washed my red 2007 Suburban with Gold Class wash, another Meguire's winnner, then carefully applied UP to the exterior black plastic components. With 63,000 miles of daily driving over salty Ohio roads it was looking a bit tired, this product brought back the original showroom look, possibly better than new. This weekend I will try it out on the ultimate "toy", my 1998 SL500. The ultimate question is how can Meguire sell this for only $10 US?

        I applied it today. I pop off the cap. Find it much easier to apply this way.

        I have to agree. I have to agree, it is a fantastic product.
        quality creates its own demand
