What a horrible product!!
I was at Carlilse's Custom Compact at Harrisburg this past weekend to display my car. The web site that's sponsoring my S60R as their project car had an indoor space reserved for the show. Just so happened I forgot to bring any of my MF towels, except for the big blue drying MF towel, and that's not where the nightmare ends. Luckily (so I thought), meguiar's booth was next to ours, so I decided to give their Ultimate Wipe a try since I have nothing to QD the car with. Prior to the show, I had 5 layers of UPP on the car before I washed the car and dried it before entered the show.
OMFG....did Ultimate Wipe left some crazy swirl-like scratches on the car or what!!! I was sure not a happy camper after that, so I just gave up and just display the car the way it was. I hope the others at the show didn't think the shine was achieved with Meguiar's products. I should have walked back to them and tell them to take care of the scratches.
Luckily after washing the car after I got home, I put another layer of UPP on that same area after QD it first...everything seemed to go away, or at least hidden.
One interesting thing, though....not sure if it was a compliment or simple ignorance from the show attendees. This group of guys were just so impressed with the shine, they decided to FEEL the paint with their hands, and NO..not with back of their hands but with their greasy fingers and palms. Of course, they did this not knowing I am the owner of the car.
Maybe I should have made my presence known. It was certainly fun showing off the car, but with some of the minor annoyances I'm not sure if I'd ever participate these kind of kiddy "import show." :hurl
