I will expand more on this later, but I thought I would share some photos and my experience so far.
Application experience
First off, I have only used UW once so far as I just got my shipment last weekend, and I did so in the middle of the night when it was quite cold and slightly damp.
Because of that, I thought leaving the wax on the car to cure longer would be best, but after a little experimentation I found that a quicker removal time (5 minutes or so) was best.
After my first pass of removal, I went back over the car with a Supreme Shine and spot-free water and lightly wiped it all down to make sure I had a uniform appearance.
Wax was applied via G110v2 with a black 7-inch Meguiar's finishing pad on speed 3.
Application first thoughts
This product goes on extremely easily and needs to be spread very thin. LESS IS MORE. I tried different amounts of wax, and found when applying more than suggested the wax was too think to fully cure and would streak upon removal.
When using just 2 small drops on my 7-inch finishing pad, I could do an entire door or panel and have a little more to go. This was optimal.
I tried doing 5-6 drops and it was far too much, and made removal more difficult.
Amazing (unexpected) bonus
When applying the wax I was in a hurry and didn't mind crossing over onto my black trim and rubber, and assumed it would be fine to wipe it off given that it is advertised as not staining trim.
I WAS WRONG. Not only was it "OK" to get it on the trim, it left the best finish I have EVER seen on my black rubber-like strip running the length of my roof and window trim. Even days later it is incredibly glossy and looks 10 times better than brand new.
Even the semi-matte finish on the window frame surround between my front and rear window gained darkness and a very even semi-gloss finish. I've tried both normal waxes and stuff like M40 on this before, nothing has come close to producing a result this desirable.
I was floored by this, and pleasantly surprised to say the absolute least.
Enjoyment first thoughts
After applying this wax it was abundantly clear that it left a dramatically slicker surface that was very clear and wet in appearance. The hiding properties are simply fantastic.
I have not polished my car AT ALL since M205 was first released, at which time I did the first (and last) polishing on this car with a rotary and a yellow polishing pad with M205.
*Note how only the faintest of swirls are visible in the direct sun shot? That's the UW doing its job - superbly.
From ANY angle other than 100% direct sun the entire car looks absolutely positively 100% flawless. It looks as if I spent hours or days detailing the car, when in reality my entire wash and wax process from start to finish was less than an hour.
In conclusion, so far I am really liking this product. I am curious to see how it holds up, but so far I am very pleased.

Also it works great on your trim. Its got me thinking should this wax be used on all rubber and plastic trims?
