I've heard good things about Uber but I'm looking for something that leaves behind some protection. In what way would you say ech20 outperforms Ultima? I've read good things about it (re: gloss/slickness) but have heard it can be a bit streaky/hazy and require more effort to remove depending on...

So my current bottle of UWW+ is getting low.....just wondering before I reorder if there is anything else out there, preferably something that adds some protection, that people have liked more than Ultima? I like everything about Ultima, the gloss, slickness, ease of use, cost effectiveness etc...

Guess its been almost 8 weeks since I made this post. Here is a shot of the beading I took when I saw the car again this evening. What you see is just from spraying the dirty car with a hose prior to the wash. Car was never garaged and was not washed or topped with any sort of product over this...

Can't say I've had any issues like that with this product. Though any soap is going to leave marks if it dries in the sun prior to being rinsed. Did you use too strong a mixture perhaps??

Just wanted to follow up on the bottle I got from Mike to try out. I finally got around to using it for the first time this past weekend. This was the first coating I have applied but I found it very easy to use once you get the hang of it. My observations: - High spots were easily knocked down...

Just wanted to update this thread with my experience with this product. Mike was kind enough to send me a bottle to test out, which I used for the first time tonight. Overall, I am very impressed. I used it on a car with absolutely ZERO beading to see what it could do. I will say, going into...

I'd add sonax cut and finish to your list. Used it for the first time last week and I was very impressed with its cutting and finishing abilities. According to sonax its a 5/6 for cutting and 5/6 for gloss, so slightly more cut but a bit less gloss than the the 04/06 or perfect finish.

To be completely honest, your car will look great no matter what wax/sealant you use, assuming the paint underneath is corrected. I'd say 99% of your car's final appearance is determined by what your paint looks like before you put your wax or sealant on. You'll get more gloss and shine during...

I'll echo what others have said, it looks like they did a one step. That type of result would border on acceptable if you had paid maybe half what you did (assuming they actually coated it), but for $1700 it should be pristine. Don't feel bad about being a difficult customer.The guy clearly...

I've had the same removal issue with speed in the past. On some paints it is a breeze, on others it feels really grabby and takes a lot of effort to remove. Not sure why.

How is the cut? Is it closer to a medium polish or a compound? I have 400 as well. Would you go as far to say this replaces both 400 and 2500?

How would guys compare this to something like menz 2500? I have a 32oz bottle thats pretty much done and I'm wondering if I should try this when it runs out.

I've been using ultima waterless wash a lot lately. Its really great, especially for the price. I have d156 as well. I think it has more protection but I also find that it attracts more dust than UWW does.

Looks great! FYI Lexus uses a self healing paint. It is more or less an additional layer of clear that is soft enough to level itself out over time when it gets hot in the sun. The owners manual says you're not supposed to use anything abrasive on it. You probably sanded it off. It don't think...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. The Wolfgang stuff looks good but it's pretty pricey. Scholl s40 is on a great sale right now but its not in stock. Mille polishes look like they're designed for forced rotation? I have a Rupes 21. Any input on 3800 vs 3500?

I actually have ultimate polish. It does leave a really nice finish. Only thing I don't like about it is that if you let it dry its a pain to wipe off. Ideally I would want something that I could do multiple panels with before wiping to save time. You know, so I can zip around the car. Was...

I usually give my car a quick polish twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. Nothing major, just a quick cleanup to remove any light marring that may have accumulated from washes over the months. For this I have mostly been using AIOs and working them with ~2-3 fairly quick passes...
