As far as the UW&W goes, i didn't really see much diff. in the paint, nor did i notice any diff in beading when i had rinsed it. Maybe the car was too dirty to really notice the wax in it? I had let the soap sit on the paint the whole time i had washed it, which ended up being a bad idea as pass side dried by the time i finished drivers side, so i will need to adjust when i use this according to sunlight etc., or just wash half the vehicle at a time. Overall, im not sure if im impressed with UW&W or not. It didn't do much for me this first time.





Thats about it for this one guys, if i would have had more time, i would have cleaned all the ext. plastics with Ultimate Protectant but the time wasnt there. It also could have used a bit more washing in door jambs etc.
 
damn that thing looks good man. I would say you probably used just under 3 oz's of wash. Notice anything special about that wash? Wanted to try it myself.



I also noticed that you used Westley's Bleach White . . . . how do you like that stuff? That's another thing i want to try.



Anyways nice work, car looks great!
 
well, i wouldnt say i wasnt happy with it, it just didnt perform like everyone else said it is performing, however, this car hasnt had any wax on it since weve owned it, which was June 09. So im sure it did its job, its just not showing as much as on a waxed surface, go ahead and try it man, you may love it.



As for the bleche wite, thats all ive used for years, and all i plan to use until it is no longer on shelves.
