Re: Yet another UQW review! (Pic this time!)

So apparently my car ran into a sprinkler or morning dew or something, but I came out to my car this morning and noticed tiny beads of dried pollen on my car. This didn't do it for me so back to the coin-op car wash... (Story on this in a couple of months...)

So before the sun went down, I didn't dress the tires and still had to dry the door jambs, but this is after a wash where UQW was applied a couple of days ago. I also did the car again with UQW tonight and used the flash dry method i.e. Mike Phillips. I guess even though you can't see a uniform layer of product, you really just can't think about it and trust that it is flash drying and when you go back over it, it looks spectaular!

Honda hides swirls very well... Ha ha ha!

It's going to be fixed soon. I love that car, someone once asked me what it was, and they didn't believe it was a CR-V! Guess you don't see many clean ones around.

This should help explain it...

The secret to applying Ultimate Quik Wax


Apply to clean vehicle
First you need to start with a clean car, you can either wash and dry the car or wipe the car clean using a mist and wipe product like Quik Detailer or Ultimate Quik Detailer.


Use a dampened microfiber polishing cloth or wax applicator pad
Next you mist Ultimate Quik Wax onto the surface and spread the product around using a clean, plush microfiber polishing cloth folded 4-ways, or a clean wax applicator pad and here's the secret, before starting first dampen your microfiber polishing cloth or wax applicator pad with Ultimate Quik Wax.


Apply to entire vehicle
Start at one section of the vehicle and continue applying Ultimate Quik Wax using your dampened applicator pad or dampened microfiber polishing cloth until the entire car is covered with a thin coating of wax.


Allow the thin coating of Ultimate Quik Wax to flash dry.
In normal temperatures and humidity, Ultimate Quik Wax will dry in just a few moments and will be ready to wipe off.


Follow your path of travel
Wipe off the dried wax by starting where you first applied the product and then follow your path of travel gently and carefully wiping the dried residue off the paint. Use a separate, clean dry microfiber polishing cloth folded 4 ways to remove the dried film of wax. Using a microfiber polishing cloth folded 4-ways provides a thick plush wiping cloth that helps to spread the pressure of your hand out over the surface of the cloth and gives you 8 sides to wipe with.


The secret explained
The reason a dampened cloth or applicator pad works best is because it's easier to spread out a thin liquid film if your applicator cloth is already wet or damp with the product you're trying to spread out.

If you use a dry cloth to try to spread out a thin, liquid film then at the same time you're trying to spread the product onto the surface the dry cloth is trying to remove or absorb the product off the paint.

Because a dry cloth absorbs liquids, trying to use a dry cloth to spread a liquid will in essence result in you fighting yourself in the process of trying to spread and leave a liquid on the paint.

That's the secret or the correct technique for making it easy to apply a thin coating of a spray-on wax.

I used the UQW other day on my Silverado and had people ask me if I use Liquid glass on it....was so shiny and mirrored objects around it.

Love the product, we need it in gallons now !

And does smell like Hawaiian Punch !

Re: Yet another UQW review! (Pic this time!)

So, that's what it's called: the flash drying technique. I do this already, just didn't know that it had a name.

Re: Yet another UQW review! (Pic this time!)

I tried it again last night, and it didn't seem to work that well... I might just try using the directions on the bottle. Mist on, wipe off.
