* I added this to the review section, but I thought I`d share it here, too.
Just tried UQD for the first time. The other QD`s I currently use are #425, DG Marine Detailer, Z6 and a few others.
I never really liked Meguiar`s fine mist sprayer, but you get used to it. It`s fine for use indoors, but the breeze carries some of the product away when used outside. Otherwise, the bottle is a nice shape and the graphics are attractive.
It has a nice, clean smell. Thankfully, it`s different than the NXT products` Key Lime smell, which I don`t care for.
UQD speads easily and clears out quickly. I had no trouble with streaking (indoors, cool finish). It works very well on glass, too. Cleaning power is good, it removes bugs and light waterspotting well.
UQD looks good on my silver and white cars (I also tried it on my red tool box). I wouldn`t say the look blows you away, but it leaves a nice gloss. I would say the look is similar to #425, but not in Z8`s league (which is a different type of product, of course). Z6 looks better on the white car than either #425 or UQD. On the silver car, the three look similar. [my cars have a base of either Zaino or AJ with post wash applications of AW or Z8]
Slickness is good, but not super. Water beading is ok, but I wouldn`t say it`s as good as they claim. It does sheet water very well, however.
All in all, it`s a good product. I feel the price is a little high, though. I`d say $7.99 for the 22oz. bottle is more appropriate.
