I've got a bottle. Bought it when it first came out. I used a little applied by hand on a hood, but ever since then I never grab it, simply because it stains trim. When I know Speed and DG105 won't stain, my hand automatically goes to them when I reach for an AIO.

Great review Gus!
Not sure why a mfg like Meg's would suggest using a MF towel to apply a product, any product for that matter. A nice applicator is so much easier to control due to size and density, so it should've included a nice applicator and MF towel IMO.
That said this looks like it will be a successful product and because of your thorough review it will help thing along!

they really shouldn't sell those polishing waxes to everyone. there are a lot of guys like my friend at work who use products like black wax every month for years without realizing they are abrasive. you would be amazed how many people dont read or dont understand simple directions

How does he apply it, by hand or machine? Even if he were to apply it by machine, unless he's using a cutting pad it shouldn't be critical.

That's flawed logic. They sell it to everyone, people should take the time to read the instructions and understand the difference. We shouldn't lose out on products because of people who show no interest in using them correctly.
ok ya he just apply's it by hand
im not saying we lose out on them, most people here do separate polish and wax anyway. im just saying it shouldn't be marketed as a regular wax. we all know the general public is not reading or even understanding the directions. they buy a wax thinking its a wax and dont know its a polish. idk its kinda marketed that way.

Guz- i used the FF today and I found application to be almost identical to BF Crystal Seal. Just something to note.

Have you used this again, Guz? I haven't heard much mention of this anywhere.

I agree with your assessment regarding staining on trim. It doesn't behave any differently on trim than UPGP or BFCS. And you've addressed the opti-seal. While I'm not going to "apply" this to my trim, it's certainly not causing any staining or ill-effect.

Nope I have not. I have not seen the car either. Life just keeps us busy.
Give it a try. It's really easy to apply. Cruz has it going up against some other similar products and from what he has told me is that UFF is outperforming them all. If he sees this he can chime in.

Yea I might try it tomorrow since I plan on going to Meguiars. My car's ready for a new application of Something.. The beading on it from yesterdays rain was pathetic. Lol.

I applied this on my sisters Honda three weeks ago. It's seen weekly touchless washes since then (3), several rains, and it's beading like day one.

I ended up using it on my car today. I did not do any prep to it as far as claying or polishing. I did soak the car in carpro ironx snow foam which degraded what was on the paint which was opti-seal. It was a couple months old.
Now don't get all hyped up because this is not going to be a long test. It's a short test. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 2-3 weeks until I use the Sonax CC36 coating that Meghan sent me.
I was done applying it in about 5 mins. Stuff goes on and off quick. Left a good shine and slickness.

We must be going on about two months since I applied UFF on my Toyota (with no prep- just a two bucket wash). It's seen bi-weekly touchless washes. It rained yesterday and is still beading like day 1. Pretty impressive for an initial 5 minute wipe on wipe off.

Have you topped it with anything? Any quik detailers or similar spray products?

No, I haven't topped it with anything at all. Not even a detail spray or drying aid. That's the impressive part. I threw it on just for fun the ~first week of March, knowing I'd be doing my full spring polish/detail in a couple weeks. Weather hasn't cooperated so I just kept putting it off. And then it rained again yesterday and I was amazed it was still beading as well as it is. I've compared it before to BF Crystal Seal, very similar in application. But I gotta say, the beading is much more uniform.
