Meguiar's®, the company that brought car enthusiasts the world’s first spray detailer, now introduces a revolutionary mist and wipe product that works like a spray detailer and enhances wax protection. This totally unique formula represents a significant breakthrough in technology that has even our eyes popping! Through the use of new Hydrophobic Polymer Technologyâ„¢, Meguiar's has created a spray detailer that actually repels water, withstands multiple car washes, and adds additional protection to your finish.

You will feel your towel almost float across the surface. The gentle, high lubricity formula is safe on all paint types including the latest clear coats and can be used daily to remove loose contaminants, dust and grime to keep your car looking its absolute best. It's so easy, you can detail a full size car in less than 10 minutes!
 
I didn't like the stuff at all when it came out and now have been using it with Megs 21 and I'm kinda really liking it .

QD's only last a couple days. If you really want to boost wax protection get Duragloss AW.

UQD seems to be a combo of both and yes it does offer protection . So I would say its a booster . Sure the heck beads like one for quite a while.
 
I use it after every wash and I love it. Its alittle $$ but Ive got two bottles and Ive not paid for one of them so Im not complaining.



I use it on the front end alot in the summer to help get the bugs off the next wash. Works out great!

while the UQD is definitely not a bad product, i get slightly better results from AW (about $3 a bottle cheaper too). gotta love AW!
 
My method is AW for one wash, then UQD for the next one, or possibly two washes, depending on how much has been lost in between.

People have told me that a QD can be used with the soap bucket to enhance gloss. Is this true?

you'll be rinsing most of it off so whatever glossing agents you added to your soap bucket wouldn't really be much at all. If I had a little QD left over or something I didn't feel like using anymore, I might consider putting it into my soap bucket but I would not waste a good QD that way. You'll get better results by QDing the car after your wash.



I think if you're looking to enhance the gloss from a wash alone without having to QD, consider doing an ONR wash (leaves a just waxed/qd'ed look IMO) or try out another car shampoo.
 
the thing that gets me is the UQD obviously has cleaners in it, so thats why i was asking is it doing good or bad.



i'd like to get a spray wax instead of the UQD because, obviously it doesn't have any cleaners in it. my only concern there is that it will be taking away from the integrity of the original wax



im looking for something to lubricate the towel as i dry the car, while boosting the original wax.



FWIW, the car will have this in this order: pinncale Souveran paste > opti-seal > Pinnacle souveran paste...then whatever booster i use during every dry
