      Re: The secret to applying Ultimate Quik Wax

      thanks for the tip, I imagine that this technique can be use also with the ultimate detailer, and how about the liquid cleaner wax?

        Ultimate Detailer, yes. THere is nothing to come back around and wipe off if needed of course.

        No, the cleaner/waxes dont realy work that way. Best to use the foam applicator, working them in a bit. Then let them sit and dry, and remove with a cloth.

          Have any of you tried using UQW as part of your drying process?

          Give the car a final rinse with a steady stream of water to sheet the majority of beaded water off the surface. As you go to dry each section, spray some UQW on the panel and then wipe dry with a Water Magnet. Continue around the vehicle as you dry - no streaking at all, just a bright crisp shine. Works beautifully!

            I do this for all my weekly wash customers. The beading does last quite a long time too.

              sorry for awakening an old thread, but i had a noob question.

              Do you apply the product on like in the same fashion as regular wax.
              ie: circular motions.

                Whatever motion fits the panel.

                  Since you'll most likely be applying this with a folded microfiber towel (with a spray product like this a towel really is the fastest and easiest method) your motions will be more like when you're using a quick detail spray.

                  Mike Phillips recommended applying to the entire car before wiping off, but you can also use this product very similarly to the way you use UQD, except you want the surface clean of dust first.

                        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.
                        What did you mean by microfiber polishing cloth? Does this is a Meguiar's Supreme Shine Microfiber Towel or can it be any towel or anything else ??

                          Yes, a general purpose MF cloth would be appropriate.

                          The Supreme Shine or Ultimate Wipe from Meguiars could be used, and other brands make good towels too.

                          You would not want something like a waffle weave MF drying cloth, such as the Water Magnet.

                                Just to note, the above picture of my daughter's hand actually made it into my first how-to book on page 113, you can see my son on page 49 working on the Batmobile when we did the Extreme Makeover on it here at Meguiar's Training Garage.

                                Good question!

                                I've trained myself to always refer to microfiber cloths as towels... not sure why I used to use the term cloth or cloths... but yes, in this how-to article the goal was to show people how to spread out a thin layer of a spray-on wax using a folded microfiber towel with one side dampened with the product.

                                By doing it this way you didn't fight yourself during the process and thus you will have a better experience and get better performance and results from the product.
