Meguiar's Ultimate - any abrasives?

I've looked on MOL for a clear statement about that but can't find any - for or against. Can you point me to post which states that if you know of any, please?

I was going off of my experience using the product. It was a few months ago that I started looking into this product before trying it out and usually if they go through the trouble of putting in fillers/cleaners/abrasives to make it a cleaner wax/AIO/glaze, they'll label it as such. Even though its an OTC LSP marketed towards an average enthusiast/weekend warrior, Meguiar's has generally been very up front about what their products are meant for (user-friendly advertisement :) ).



*edit - also, the durability on this product is similar to a typical sealant. That little black Scion had been treated back in the first week of May and sat outside 90% of the time in the blistering NC 90-100 deg F heat and was driven very little in that time (<300 miles). 4 months later (ie: last week) it still showed some good beading everywhere except the hood where not a bead was to be seen anywhere. The vehicle was not washed during the 4 month time frame (I was taking care of the vehicle for a buddy in my unit that was deployed). I treated the vehicle with Poxy last week when I re-detailed it for his return and optically the 2 products are relatively similar as sealants, however the Poxy gave it a deeper wet look over the ULW (closer to a BFWD appearance).
 
I know it's def not a cleaner wax. But neither is NXT and it contains mild cleaners for bonding. Wondering if UW has the same. I use the paste BTW and really love it.
 
I'm always a little :confused: by references to the "mild cleaners" in NXT. Yeah, I know..Mike Phillips and I discussed what's in the stuff back when he was at Meguiar's, but I've used it over top of "easy-to-strip-off" glaze stuff and the NXT *never* messed with the underlying product :nixweiss



The whole "cleaners in the LSP" thing can be tricky...I never had problems with NXT going over stuff, but others have messed up their Collinite 476S by merely topping it with Souveran!
 
Just used it, by all appearances, no cleaners. NXT certainly has a cleaning effect for me, Ultimate does not.
 
I ended up doing my Jetta with 1/2 Ultimate, 1/2 FK Pink. I like the Ultimate, it has a very rich look. Actually, it hard to compare to anything else. Not a ton of gloss at all, though it does look wet. Lots of range as well, seems to look the same at all angles. In comparison, the FK looks super blingy.



I wouldn't use it on anything you wanted to make pop, but if you want a certain richness to your paint, this will certainly do it.
