Seriously, the new black Vettes are *very* soft--very easy to correct and very easy to scratch.

Must be like that black BMW paint...when are we going to get someone from a paint mfr. on this board who can give us the low-down on some of these issues?

It's close, but not that soft! That stuff is crazy! No way that one could finish off with an orbital/DA on that BMW--at least I can't!



I find that the GM paint cures after a few months and is no longer as soft--perhaps we just see them in the curing "window." :nixweiss

Unfortunately, what was posted on MOL was incorrect.



Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax must be allowed to haze before removal in order to obtain the maximum gloss and protection from the product. It is not a wipe on wipe off product. I hope this clarifies any misunderstandings... :)

you can still get it, just don't wipe it off immediately. just apply to to the whole car and by the time you're done, come back and wipe it off... :up

Hey,



Though it is not a wipe on wipe off product, it does haze very quickly. I applied it in fairly cool temperatures and it still hazed pretty fast. :2thumbs:

Although I definitely do have a place for, and like the OCW in my lineup, I do think having a non-WOWO spray wax could actually be a benefit. For one, it allows for a more substantial wax, and more time for bonding. Secondly, it offers the plus of being 100% sure you covered the entire vehicle as you can work your way around the vehicle and check that you have left hazed product everywhere behind you- with OCW it leaves a little guessing work.



I know many claim substantial longevity from OCW, but I find that it does not stand up well to regular QDing. I'm hoping that Ultimate Spray Wax will offer a bit more longevity in *my* routine which involves proper QDing every day, or every other day.

the point of my post was to help people who did not know any better

& stop them from buying something that is too large to be effective with aDA

at removing defects

I would have to agree. I have used all sizes of pads over the years with a PC and any thing over 6" just isn't effective for correction work. Can it be done, yes, is it "effective" NO. I have spent 12-16 hrs correcting Vette paint with a PC with 6" pads. A 7" pad would add hours to that time, so for me it's not effective. BigJimZ28 was just trying to warn others with little experience that a 7" pad may not be effective for correction work. I made a statement a while back saying that using a PC with out a good amount of pressure is a wast of time. That didn't go over very well with another newer member here, as he says he gets great results with no pressure. Hey if it works for him than thats great, but years of experience tells me other wise. So I guess it all depends on our own interpretations of what is effective. 12-16 hrs with a PC and 6" pads with a good amount of pressure, to me is not effective, thats why I now use a rotary. Just my .02

This is not correct. One of the forum admins at the meg's forums clearly stated it may be used as a no haze, WOWO product. However, the labels on the wax stated it needs to haze...I am guessing its an either-or product if there is such a thing

Sorry, but the Forum Admin on MOL posted incorrect information and has since posted the correct information. He must have misunderstood the information he received when he was being told about the new product. Since I was a reviewer of the pre-production product, I can assure you it needs to haze before removal to get the expected results. :)



Here is the Admin's correction:

So it sounds like its regular Quick Wax (maroon bottle) with the new beading stuff added? Quick Wax isn't any quicker to me than #26 liquid.

I don't see the new spray lasting that long, considering it's probably just sprayable NXT. We'll see I guess.

Considering how well NXT sells, I don't see the correlation between NXT and the spray wax being a bad thing :grinno:



(I'm not saying that the spray wax is a sprayable NXT, btw, as from what I have read it appears to be a new and unique product by itself)

Noooooo :( I was hoping it would be a decent OTC WOWO...is it even possible to spread and buff before hazing with this product, and still have it work decently?

Not even close in my opinion.



Let me clarify....the New Ultimate Quik Wax in my opinion is like I said in my review, it is a combination of the Ultimate Quik Detailer and a wax with new technology. It is like a UQD on steroids.



I also want to clarify that the new UQW does not act like Quik Wax or the NXT Spray Wax in my opinion. What I found is that it goes on easily and flashes really fast. Meaning, unless the humidity is extremely high etc, the product will flash so fast that I was able to do the hood and roof and go back to hood as it was ready for removal. In practice in normal temperatures, (I tested it in a cold garage), I would surmise that a person could do a fender and door and then the UQW on the fender would be ready for removal. It was easy to spread around (wipe on) and yet flashed fast enough that makes it a real time saver.



To me, it would not take much longer than using a QD, but with the added gloss and protection of a wax.
