Quick Review: Meguiars Fast Finish

[Justin at Final Inspection]

So this is Meguiars new product in there Ultimate lineup. I have used there Ultimate paste wax and liquid Ultimate wax with good results in the past. Although I do like there Ultimate paste a bit better than the liquid. Just preference.

So after seeing this being released I knew I would have to try it out.

Here`s the box it comes in. Also included is a black microfiber towel.







For this test I used the trunk lid on my GTO. For preparation of Ultimate fast finish I polished the trunk lid with my PC using a orange LC pro thin pad and BOSS correcting cream. Then followed it up with a white LC pro thin pad and BOSS perfecting cream. I then followed that up with McKee`s coating prep polish and a clean white LC pro thin pad. This left the surface nice and clean ready for the Ultimate fast finish.

For application I used the same method as Guz did in his review. Using a clean microfiber applicator for application and a supreme 530 microfiber for removal.



I used a small spray on the surface of the applicator and then wipped it on in a criss cross pattern. You can see in the photo below where I applied it. The good thing is this stuff goes a long way and spreads easily.








Wipe off was a breeze. No streaks or smudges and left a nice soft surface.





Then I had to see some beeding!






If this stuff lasts even a fraction of the amount it claims then this will be a very efficient way to seal paint. Unfortunately I have never tried Opti seal or anything similar so I can`t compare. Once I have time to wash my daily I am going to give it a shot.

I will be polite and say this product is average . It's one of those products you keep around maybe for rims or door jambs or ,veneer wood shine up.Didn't give me a wow factor.On the other hand the paste mirror bright did give me a wow factor.cleans and protects in one easy step coupled with a gg3 inch machine it produces very little correction and the shine factor from 1 through 10 is a 8 not bad for 16.00 bucks. And it won't break your back removing it ,I see myself using this a lot on newer cars.

Application I find faster is with towel and not the application foam pad type.Takes to long to coat every square inch that way.if I was to choose that application method I would simply use Mckees coating.But that's my opinion and doesn't mean squat,just figured I would share my opinion on this product.

I havent used it yet, but I have used Mirror Bright Polishing Wax liquid. I liked it, but it's a different product. Not as long lasting (although supposed to be close to UPW per Nick Winn), and application is obviously more time consuming. From what I have seen of FF, the application is almost effortless - Wipe on, quick, immediate buff off. I agree it might take more time with an applicator, but hey, it ensures even coverage. Best part is that it can be used over Ultimate Wax, which seems like it would be a dynamite combo. I'm going to give it a go. Even if it doesnt last a year, applying this 2-3 times a year would be a breeze.

Tried applying with just a microfiber towel as the directions state. It does go faster but I think trying to get complete coverage is a little tougher. Either way I can see this getting added to my lineup for wash clay seal jobs or more entry-level jobs.

I just applied the UFF for the first time today. It's like a clone of BF Crystal Seal (wowa sealant), the only difference being the CS has a scent and the FF did not. Other than that, I found the two products to be nearly identical. Anyone else have that same experience with the two?!
