Ultimate Wash & Wax

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax

The local Walmart has it in stock, but they discontinued the original Gold Class shampoo in favor of Amour All (which appears to be a copycat of GC).

Well after using this a little more, I have to say it's okay for a maintenance wash where the car isn't real or remotely dirty, but doesn't work well where the car is more than that. I prefer the gold class wash overall, but still not a bad product.

I thought it handled dirt and grime really good actually. Seems to have decent cleaning power IMO.

I use it to maintain work trucks that I have sealed a couple months ago and its perfect.

I don't know if anyone mentioned, Wally World might have a $5 rebate coupon. The one in Coralville, Iowa did (does). The coupon comes off easily, but it should be around the neck of the bottle. Make sure to grab one with the coupon still intact.

I'm going to try it on my wife's car after the rain stops sometime today. It was waxed a week ago with NXT Tech.

I happen to agree with you. My UWAW does clean just enough and properly when my car is not dirty. Whenever it's dirty I have to go with my NXT.

How long did it take you guys to get the $5 rebate via mail?

I agree too. It's not a bad product...just average. Seems to have less suds than NXT wash. I might get another one when my first bottle runs out...not sure...but it would just be to use as a change of pace.

What UWAW has going for it is the packaging, unique look and unique smell. I didn't see anything different because of the "wax" contained in it.

Also, I swear it dries out faster when you are actually still washing the car. Seems like by the time I finish applying it to the entire car...about 40% of the car is near dry in places when I look back to where I started.

Have you thought about rinsing each section as you go?

That's what I always do - UWAW or not...

I primarily go to the coin-op car wash. So that's not really practical for me.

The drying thing was just a observation that seemed to occur for me - I didn't recall having the same thing happen in my time in using NXT Wash.

You'll love it! The smell, the richness, and the SUDS. It's all there. At the end, you'll be amazed on how it leaves your paint glossy. Enjoy!

Most of all..the smell...it's almost intoxicating. Meguiars did a great job in combing all the senses in regards to the Ultimate wash & wax. The smell, the look, the packing, the innovative concept, etc.

While I'm not knocked over by any wild results of using the product - brand loyality and uniqueness will probably have me buy another bottle at some point.

Your right. I got to use the stuff on my Trans Am, Buick Century and My Wife's HHR and all worked awesome!

I think I will still hit them with Ult Quick Wax as its not a horrible step for a Booster but if crunched for time (which I was) it worked out great for a stand alone product.

The water was sheeting immediately upon rinsing.

The first bucket I think I have too much water per solution and did not have too many suds, then I changed it up a bit and like said, never ending suds. I was very happy!

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax

Sometimes, I use it as an air freshner. LOL.

Re: Ultimate Wash & Wax

I think the inside of my wash bucket that I always use for suds has a coating of wax thanks to this, it beads up! (my rinse bucket doesnt) I also like how it keeps the layer of Collinite 476s on my wheels fresh despite the heat and brakedust that it suffers, they all still bead months after aplication with repeated UW&W use. I also haven't needed to use anything stronger than wash solution on them since the Collinite/UW&W regmine has begun. I also haven't had to use a traditional wax in quite some time as I reguarly wash my car, often with UW&W, and occasionally treat it with UQW or Griots spray wax.

I think its going to get the Pinnacle Sovereign, M16, GC+ or Poli-Seal treatment tomorrow. I'm leaning towards Poli-Seal because of its cleaning ability; though it really does need a carnauba topper because slickness and beading leave something be desired. I would give it a ~3 cut (though its a chemical cleaner) and it does offer good protection, just not water beading and slickness like most LSP's we are used to.
