Release of Ultimate Quik Detailer post here

Cue the Meguiars haters ;-) . I'm waiting for ADS to enable the order button! I have a big order waiting on the stuff. I'm sure it will be a well balanced product as most of Meguiars items are, not one outstanding feature, just overall goodness... the Toyota/Honda of detailing.
 
I had a credit with Meguiars so I sued that 2 weeks ago to place a pre-order... Since it was available for shipping not too long ago, I should receive it today or tomorrow.
 
At the Tampa meet we met with someone that will remain nameless that had sampled it, and said it was average at best...I still look forward to trying it.

How & whre did they get a sample???/
 
I don't see much reason to get excited about anyones QD. If Megs came out with an effective waterless wash that might be worth getting excited about.

In Australia, Megs markets a waterless wash product...but really it's just their NXT speed detailer.
 
I got a sample bottle a few weeks ago. It is actually a pretty decent product. Smells just like NXT and has a carnauba look to it, sort of reminds me of how #16 looks. Very slick, no streaking that I noticed. The real selling point is the beading and how well it sheets when you flood the paint with water. Makes conventional washing somewhat easier, IMO.
 
i won a bottle of the ultimate quik detailer on meguiar's forum. they randomly drew 30 names from registered users. should be receiving it next week.
 
Here are some shots of my truck after a wash with Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner and an application of Ultimate Quik Detailer. As I mentined adove this product definatly adds gloss/depth to the finish. I will have to use it a few more times and see how it performs affter application before I can give a fair review, so far it looks impressive! If you don't have a bottle yet you need to get one!



After application of UQD:

I have it and used it on both mine and my wife's car. Both cars have FK 1000P topped with Duragloss AW (my car has Pink Wax x2 in between the 1000 and AW). It applies easy enough, no streaking. I have not noticed the incredible beading properties though, although both our cars attract a bit of dust and pollen in our driveway (outside 24/7). Drying after a wash is another story, the water seems to rinse off well with a flood rinse (not perfectly though) but a quick light swipe of the absorber or waffle weave leaves the surface immaculate. This product definately makes drying a breeze and minimizes surface interaction (marring potential).



Looks wise, is ok- seems to add a good combo of reflectivity and depth, but no more than than if I apply AW right after a wash. My car is solid black and hers is a metallic dark blue. It does not pop or mute the flake anymore than AW. It does offer a clear look on my car, which I prefer the use of glazes or carnauba as it is my DD.



Overall I like AW for looks/protection/slickness whereas UQD lacks in durability and is costly. I feel I get more for money with AW. I also recently changed from NXT wash to Duraglos 901 and find it a better/economical performer in the gallon quantity. Will I buy it again? Probably not.



Hope this helps and isn't too wordy, never really reviewed a product before and I lack a camera.
