What "different" things? Don't they both last long and result in a great shine?

Well, maybe "do" isnt the right word, but seem different. The Fast Finish goes on very fast, they say protects for a long time. But doesnt have the deep shine or the slick feel on the surface for very long.

The Ult Wax takes a little more effort, but keeps a deep shine and slick surface for a longer time. And with the surface staying slicker, UQW seems to apply easier after future washes.

So just depends what you want.

But doesn't the shine have as much or more to do with the condition of the paint and prep work before applying it? The claying and polishing. I couldn't tell that one shines any better than the other, plus why is a slick feel important?

Can I use Fast Finish on a ceramic coated vehicle. It's 7 years old and hasn't been maintained due to lack of knowledge about maintenance about ceramic coating except for washing, detailing, etc.

If the coating is 7 years old, I doubt there would be much left of it anyway!

Even if not, I've heard of people using UFF on top of coatings without any issues...

Agreed. You can go straight to using UFF, but, it would be good to evaluate for above surface contaminants & below surface defects, and address them, at the very least, address any above surface contaminants by using detailing clay. Below is a good basic article in case you need more info to reference:

What are your goals for the car? Are you working by hand or machine?

[Don W]

Thanks guys for your response. I do wash and clay bar the vehicle (Chevy Tahoe). Prep the surface best way I know how. I've done this on my Vette also but haven't used MUFF on it. With the onset of cold winter weather here in NH, car detailing is on hold til spring. Anxious to give FF a go on both when warmer weather comes back..😊

Hi Don W, FF is an excellent product bar none. It matches most if not all of the coatings in the market that cost an obscene 100 to 200 times its price. Even if its longevity is 70 or 80 percent that of coatings , it is still a great product well worth its price. Do the math. And we haven't even start talking about how easy its application is - takes 5min to go round an average-sized car and you don't need magic hands to do it. Thumbs up!
