Good review, thanks. It looks like applying/removing UFF is easy - significantly easier than Sonax PNS. However, its beading and sheeting ability seems noticeably less impressive than PNS's (which is the best I've experienced). Still, if UFF is as durable as Meguiar's claims, it's probably a very good product overall.

I keep waiting for someone to mention this, but Ultimate Fast Finish may in fact easier to use, but I became completely uninterested when I read a post from one of Meguiars product and training specialists saying UFF WOULD stain black trim and rubber.
That makes it the only WOWA sealant that cannot be used on trim. In my opinion, I do not care how easy it is to apply and remove. Part of the appeal of these types of sealants is the convenience to use them on virtually ANY exterior surface and know they will protect and at a level enhance the appearance. If I have to worry about accidentally hitting the a molding with my applicator I may as well find my bottle of Nu Finish and use it. (I'm being a bit facetious, but the truth is I personally do not see the product being much of a success for the reasons I mentioned above)

We are not the intended market. This is intended for the consumer/average joe who waxes their car once a year. They are looking for the least amount of work.
Not to sound argumentative but the simple answer from me is that this product is not for you. It is not intended for everyone.

Nicely done, thank you for taking the time and trouble to do this. Was there quite a bit of product remaining after you did the entire car and the extra hood?
I did notice the directions from Megs says to spray the product onto the MF towel where the instructions on the AG site say to spray it onto the paint. AG, you might want to correct this to avoid conflicts.

You are definitely right and my assessment wasn't fair at all in that regard. I first became interested in detailing shortly after the "Ultimate" line was released and it was comprised of products that were unlike any other at the time because they were capable of protecting not just the paint, but every surface on the exterior of a vehicle. When I first heard about this product I thought it would be like pp365 except easier, because the Ultimate line in my eyes has always been as close to dummy proof as possible.
I think I just liked the idea of the ultimate line being focused on products that are capable of multi-surface applications. I REALLY appreciate your video and I've been subscribed to your channel for about a month now. I hope to see more product reviews coming soon and I'm sorry about my hormonal first post lol
(also, I'm still trying to work through some anger and resentment that resulted from Megs discontinuing my favorite 3 inch cutting pad and rinseless wash)

It's completely different than PP365. PP365 is oily and can be difficult to remove if too much is used. The beading for UUF for appears tighter than PP365. The beading of PP365 was more rounded. The way it flashed off the paint is similar to opti-seal, blackfire crystal seal. It required less work to level it out compared to PP365.

Spent some time today working with Fast Finish on the trim, there was no difference that I could tell with how this behaves with the trim compared to Opti-Seal. They both had an immediate darkening effect when covering, then as they flashed the trim went back to normal (in my case, back to semi-faded). Sprayed it directly on the trim in one spot and let it sit for 30 minutes and it spread right off and left no imprint after wiping. I saw Nick's post as well, but I'm not seeing any problems with it in my tests, if you happen to get it on there and wipe it off you shouldn't have issues.
Off topic I bought a can of that new meguairs paste wax and wow.I used it with a gg 3 inch machine with a orange foam pad on a white trashed ford focus.stuff is very easy to use and glossy results in the hot blazing sun with zero promblems.Alot of these products are duplicated but not this stuff.it's more of a cream than a paste your use to seeing,with the polishing substance it cleans and protects the paint in one.Stay off the trim as I can see this will leave staining. For 16.00 bucks you can't beat it if your in a hurry with awesome results.

I'm surprised the Mirror Bright polishing wax in liquid form didn't gain a lot of traction as it is the same as the past form. Thanks for providing your feedback. I was always curious hot it performed in terms of correction as it does contain the patented SMAT abrasives.
I was on the fence when I was at ag this morning,like do I really need more wax so I purchased it and used it on a very rough focus.she had a budget of 100.00 so i quickly worked on this focus and it's super slick when the paint is prepared. I nano mitt and iron x the car then worked the product in with my gg3.I used the very dense orange foam cutting pad and it took me 40 minutes to to a nice job on the paint.meguair's did a great job with this stuff but have no idea about durability.
I hope I never see it again.I really wanted to leave as this thing was so bad.car was blasted and mismatch paint and over spray everywhere.I couldn't leave as this was a referral from one of my clients.
