Megs UQD or Quick Wax?

Striker · 06-15-09, 09:19

Hi guys,

Im running low on the ultimate quick detailer and was wondering if I should try out the Quick Wax Megs offers?

I drive the car two-three times per week and when not driven it stays covered up in my driveway so its always clean. If I wash it today, for example tomorrow Ill uncover it, and wipe off any light contaminants or soil with a MF and the UQD since the car is still clean.

Now the question is, should I try something else or stick with the UQD?

A Qd is to remove light dust. You should never try to remove light dust with a spray wax. QD first and then spray wax for added durability to your LSP.

Alright. I usually use the UQD before a show, it really gives the black a nice deep wet look that I like.

If you like it, stay with it.

Its treated me well so far. As soon as I uncover the car, I wipe it down with UQD and then proceed to add a coat of wax on her, assuring she's perfectly clear of any contaminents offcourse.
Just wasn't sure if I can eliminate the two step process and just do the spray wax rite away.

But after reading closer, it says that the UQD was designed to eliminate light soiling and dust particles from the surface.

If I were you, I'd use UQW whenever you wash your car. It's just as easy to use as UQD, but it leaves behind real protection and shine. Save your UQD for those occasions when you want to remove dust.

I usually try and wax rite after each wash but save the UDQ after a day or so of city driving, just to get all the crap off of it without having to do a complete wash again.

Is it ok to apply UQW as you're drying the car? I may be able to get away with killing two birds with one stone sort of thing, or should I completely dry the car and then apply the UQW? I guess at the end of the day it doesn't make a difference wether or not I use spray wax, or do it the traditional way?

I have never sprayed Ultimate Quik Wax on a wet car, but you can always try and see how it works. I know that some people spray Optimum Car Wax on a wet car and then dry and get good results. Someone needs to try this with UQW and see how it works. Take one for the team!

UQW is typically applied to a dry car. There seem to be two popular ways to apply it: you can apply it to a panel (or two) and then immediately wipe it off with a dry cloth (WOWO), or you can apply it to the entire car and then buff off. UQW is said to be more durable if allowed to dry first and then buffed off; but I know that Mark Kleiss is getting up to a month durability using UQW as a WOWA product.

I have not used UQW on a wet car, on my bottle it does not say anywhere that you can.

On my duragloss aquawax spraying it on a washed and rinsed car while drying is the preferred method, down further on the AW bottle in yellow it says it can also be used on a dried car (like uqw)
