Has anyone used this how does it do. Does it last. Do multiple coats make a difference. Doesnit increase depth or gloss. How does It compare to meguiars ultimate paste wax?
 
I have never used it. IMO any spray wax is not going to give you the qualities of a good automotive wax or sealant. You give things up for the ease of use and speed.
When I do a one step polish I always use GD's Infinite Use Detail Juice as a quick top coat. I had it hold up for over a month on an outdoor kept car. It's my go to and it has all the other things it does great to boot.
 
It's more like a DS with a little wax to boot.
It will only last 1-2 washes.
 
It's a great product. Gives a little pop after routine washing. I use it every now and then instead of V7 or speed wipe just to change things up. Not really a stand alone LSP, though.

How you mixing that for a top coat? 2.5oz to a gallon?
 
Excellent drying aid. The big difference is in the slickness it gives the paint. Shine is nice. I doubt it lasts through a washing but just apply after each wash and ur set.
 
D156 is a great product.

Since its trim safe, it provides a great way to add an additional sacrificial barrier to the existing LSP.

AS mentioned above, it does greatly increase surface tension providng great slickness that doesnt allow contaminants to stick to the paint easily.

Personally I use it one every other week as a drying aid [after 75%] of water is removed after flooding to protect my LSP.... after all im obsessive :laughing:
 
I find to be be useless and a waste of time. It has pathetic durability and looks flat. Try Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer instead. No spray wax or sealant beads better, looks better or lasts longer.

This. But it is a tad more difficult to apply. I just wish it left the paint more slick like aquawax.
I kind if disagree on the looks though. Didn't really add much pop when I have used it. Beading is insane though.

Have you heard of optimum car wax...
 
It is basically the professional version of Megs Ultimate Quick Wax. I was using this in conjunction with Megs #21 Synt Sealant (which is essentially the same as NXT Liquid). I thought the UQW worked just fine, its application was much like a quick detailer and that combined with the #21 gave me good protection and a nice shine. I have since switched to XMT Spray Wax as it seems to be a little better and is usually a great value when on sale at AG.
 
Amazing stuff, I have great results using it as a drying aid with rinseless washing. Works amazing on black trim and door jams.
 
I have used Megs Ultimate Quik Wax which is supposed to be the consumer version. I liked it, easy to use and very hydrophobic, left surface very slick. I used as a drying aid or right after a wash. I still have a bottle left and use it around the house lol. I sealed my car with Sonax PNS and read UQW didn't play well with it. So I replaced it with Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer, which is a little tougher to use. But gives insane shine, hydrophobic qualities and apparently lasts longer.
 
^ uqw is some awesome stuff and for some reason i like it better even though it's suppose to be the same as d156... :dunno:

UQW smells better than D156, but suffers from an inferior sprayer on the consumer bottle .. That reason alone makes D156 a whole lot better than UQW.

How would 156 or UQW be as a topper for Essence?

I would probably use a longer lasting LSP if you are going through the trouble of correcting the paint. On a clayed car with no polishing, sitting outdoors I've seen one month durability.

Edited to add one month durability with UQW.
 
Cheap by the gallon during sales and very easy to use. as drying aid that adds a little protection I love it. Makes the towel a lot less grabby it just glides across the paint.
