Based on a fair amount of reading on this site, I purchased some Ultima Acrylic Waterless Wash concentrate and some MF towels (and a mitt for the wheels). I'm tired of my car being dirty for months on end. Living in an apt has that as a downside. I used it for the first time the other day, and really like the results. I use the method from this board where you peel the leading edge of the MF towel up so you aren't wiping the dirty part of the towel over the paint after the first wipe. I was please with how clean it got the car and how it felt afterward.
I've got a couple of questions.
1 How much of the 22oz of spray would you expect to use for a small 2 seat sports car like a miata or a boxster? I think I over did it, granted, it was really windy, so I think 1/3 of it blew away before it hit the car.
2 Is there a problem with pre-mixing a batch and letting it sit in the spray bottle for a week?
3a And just to double check, what's the consensus on some sort of wax after the WW or every once in a while? I'm assuming that with a good WW product, you don't need to wax as often, but you would want to wax sometimes, right?
3b If I should wax, then I should probably get some wax. What is a decent quality but easy to apply wax. I see there are lots of spray waxes. I've always used some sort of paste from an autoparts store, never anything fancy. I'd appreciate being able to apply something that would work well, but be much easier to apply than the old school, rub on-let dry-buff off options if there are any.
Can anyone advise about the pros and cons of the UWW+ vs the UWWA? I would think that the UWWA is newer, better and more "advanced", but then that seems counterintuitive to it being $1 cheaper for the 16oz. I also don't see a gallon option for the UWWA vs the UWW+ which does have a gallon option which brings the price down another 25%.
Thoughts and/or recommendations? I'm new so open to advice and suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
