Re: Review: Meguiars Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere

Just used the Megs Ultimate Wash and Wax anywhere for the first time. I have a full sized pickup truck so I was curious as to how much would actually be used from 1 bottle. I used about a 1/3rd of the bottle, which isn't so bad. Truck wasn't real dirty just the kind of dirt/dust from a weeks worth of driving which included rain since the last full wash. I suspect a very dirty vehicle you would use considerably more, but if that was the case I would probably spray it down first at the coin op wash.

The product seems to do a good job at cleaning and wipe off is a breeze with no streaking. In the past I have use both Ultimate quik detailer and Ultimate Quik wax for doing light cleaning and wax. I think this new product kind of gives you the best of both those products in one with a little better cleaning ability than UQD.

I give it a two thumbs up, way to go Meguiar's.....

Re: Review: Meguiars Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere

Great writeup-

Just a couple of questions.

-About how long from start to finish does it take you to do a full UWWA job on your car?
-Can you use UWWA as a permanent replacement for other top Meguiars waxes like nxt/ultimate wax, and expect similar results as far as protection and shine?
-Also, not sure if your car is garage kept or what(looks great btw) but would UWWA be a smart choice for a guy like me? Mine is a daily driver, no garage, no carport. So..exposed to all elements at all times. The only upside being that I live in louisiana where there is no snow/salt in the winter.

I didn't see these questions answered in the rest of the thread, sorry if they were already. I'd be 100% new to the waterless/rinsless process, but this review has me intrigued.

Thanks alot
-Mike

Re: Review: Meguiars Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere

I know that Meguiars has the Express Rinseless wash in the gallon, and I was wonder if anybody here has compared that to UWW+ or UWWA in cleaning ability. I know that UWWA has wax protection and that is not a concern for me because I prefer Gold Class Quick Wax while drying (I have a black vehicle and nothing beats the warmness of carnuba). I love the UWWA but at $15 it is almost as expensive as taking my buckets and grit-guards to the coin op. Anyone tried it out head to head? Thanks Mike

Re: Review: Meguiars Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere

My Dad isnt much of one for new fangled stuff. But he tried my bottle of UWWA, and was pretty impressed, though I think he gave a bit of a rinse first, just to be safe.

Tell him to do it!!!!! It's really great stuff

UWWA is an amazing product and so is UWW+. I love both of them and as far as I'm concerned they both blow CroftGateUSA Aquanil-X out of the water. I made some UWW+ for my Dad since he had been using Aquanil-X before that. Let's just say, the pink stuff is now collecting dust as it's now antiquated by even his standards. Plus, both UWW+ and UWWA are far more affordable. Can't beat that! Thanks for the excellent review Shawn!

Thanks Andy! Yeah, the UWWA is easier to use as it doesn't leave a haze on the surface. It also has a little better cleaning power as I said in my honest review.

But yeah, UWW+ is much more affordable. But I really like UWWA for its cleaning power which is more than UWW+.

I really like UWWA too. Although still early in the bug season, but it really seems to take them off. I also like it to clean glass. Great stuff!

David, I really like it on glass as well! Leaves a nice slick surface. Plus, I like using one product to do the entire car and not switching to something else to do the class.

I'm sure that UWWA is great, but when price is factored in, I'm not sure why anyone is using anything other than UWW+. I"ve been using it for 6 months now, and I've tried everything else (except UWWA) and although there are some good products out there, @ about $3.60 per GALLON it's a no brainer.

Megs would have to come out with M135 v2, with Polycharger and make it available in concentrate form to really compete. Hey there's an idea, they should do this. M135 is the only other QD I use and while I love it, at $30 per gallon, it's just not price competitive with UWW+.

Yup. UWW+ cannot be beat price-wise and performance wise it is second only to UWWA and that is based solely on the cleaning power of UWWA.

Re: Review: Meguiars Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere

Hello..

just wondering what product is "UWW+," I can't seem to find any Meguiars product that sells for $3.60/Gallon. Thanks

It isn't a Meguiar's product. It's Ultima Waterless Wash Plus.

Re: Review: Meguiars Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere

Hey Shawn,

Great Review! It looks like UWWA is a great product!

I told you UWW+ rocks! UWW+ still kills EVERYTHING when it comes to price/performane. I mean $3.60 a gallon is ridiculous for how good it is.

Re: Review: Meguiars Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere

Great review Shawn! Your car is looking mighty nice after doing a waterless wash and quik wax. Looks very shiny and swirl free.

Maybe you can also post a video like you did on a different WW?

You mean with the comparison? In due time sit

Re: Review: Meguiars Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere

Great review and video presentation, Shawn.

The look of your car really shows how effective this product is.

Thanks Greg! I'm really liking this waterless wash. Now if only it wasn't $15 and I didn't use 1/2 bottle per wash........yeah I use waterless washes heavy.
