Mequiars Ultimate Fast Finish Review

[Pats300zx]

Meghan was kind enough to send me some of the new Meguiars products for testing. This is my review of Meguiars new Ultimate Fast Finsh. I have been a huge advocate of WOWA sealants since their release to the detailing industry and was fortunate enough to test Ultima Paint Guard Plus (UPGP) when it debuted to the detailing market as one of the first WOWA sealants. There have been several other positive product reviews for Ultimate Fast Finish so I thought I would give my results and thoughts as well.

In todays coating market, I feel that WOWA sealants are a very underrated product and don`t get as much recognition as they should. For me there there is not a easier way to apply a sealant and get several months of durability. I can easily apply a WOWA sealant to my Dodge truck in 10-15 minutes and in most cases can walk away with next to no buffing required.

Product Description:

Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish is a revolutionary aerosol formula that offers a brilliant gloss with a long-lasting synthetic polymer coating that`s extremely easy to use. This advanced formula offers the ultimate in polymer gloss, slickness, and water beading paint protection. The no buff formula allows you to complete an entire vehicle in just minutes, simply spray and wipe. Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish truly is the easiest way to "wax!”

Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish is a car guy’s (or gal’s!) dream come true. Never has it been easier to wax your vehicle. No longer will you have to break out a crumbly paste wax or sticky liquid wax. Simply spray Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish onto your paint and wipe clean using a soft microfiber towel. It simply doesn’t get any easier!

Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish is a non-abrasive finishing wax. If you’ve neglected to clay or polish your vehicle in longer than 3 months.

Cost: $17.00 for 16 ounces

Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish

Kit Contents:

16 ounce Fast Finish Aerosol
black micro fiber towel



Application:

The directions state to apply Fast Finish by applying to the supplied microfiber towel but as others forum members have found it was easier for me to apply to a microfiber applicator. I feel this gave me more control and allowed me to get into the tighter areas. One feature of this product that I really liked was the aerosol sprayer which really allowed me to control the amount of product being dispersed.

I started by priming the applicator with a short burst of Fast Finish. Once the pad was primed I only need two small bursts per panel to get complete coverage. With Meguiars Fast Finish a little goes a long way and by applying in a cross hatch pattern I was easily able to apply it to my Dodge Ram truck in about 10-12 minutes. The pad just glided over the surface and was not grabby at all. I did not try and apply it to glass like other WOWA sealants like Opti-Seal and UPGP since I had just coated my windows.

Upon application, as with most WOWA sealants you will notice a "halo effect" or what appears to be an oil like film on the paint surface. As the product dries this film goes away. If you happen to over apply it, this film is easily removed with a quick buff from a microfiber towel.

The microfiber towel included in the Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish kit is a very soft short nap type microfiber and easily took care of any remaining residue on the surface.



Thoughts:

1. This is Meguiars intro into the WOWA market and I think they have a winner in this product. It applies super easy and the gloss left behind is impressive. I only had a few small areas where I over applied and that was easily taken care of with the supplied microfiber towel. Durability is yet to be seen and I will try and report back on how it`s holding up.

2. For an OTC product the price point is excellent for a WOWA product that can be picked up at most automotive retail stores that carry Meguiars. I have not seen it yet in my area Walmart, Autozone, etc.

3. The Ultimate Fast Finish left the paint surface very slick and glossy which was impressive for 10 minutes of work. Overall I was very impressed with this product.

Results:

GLOSS !!!

Looks great! Almost puts me in mind of the STONERS SPEED BEAD I have been playing around with. Same application more or less. Looks like Megs has a winner!

[Pats300zx]

I have Stoners Speed Bead and this doesn`t even compare. Fast Finish is so much better !!!!

Looks like our little tests came out about the same

I have Stoners Speed Bead and this doesn`t even compare. Fast Finish is so much better !!!!

Noted. I may have to try a can in the future.

[xspwrstang]

Stoners was going to be my next product to try out but after this...I`m thinking of maybe picking up Megs FF instead. Thanks for the review.

Cool review!

Even if durability isn`t great, sounds easy enough to re-do quickly and effortlessly.

Super easy and for $18 the can will last fat long time.

Haven`t had a chance to use mine yet, but picked it up at Walmart for $12.97. And, Nick over at the Megs site stated that if you apply it over another sealant or even a wax it does not degrade the durability of UFF.
