Meguiar's New Ultimate Wax- Paste

Has anyone tried this yet? I have 2 cans in my order, 1 for me and 1 as a birthday present for a friend, but it's on back order and holding up my order from sending. I'm wondering what it is going to be like in comparison to NXT 2.0

Has anyone got their hands on any Ultimate wax, paste or liquid yet or got to try it as a sample?

I have a can of it but haven't been able to use it yet. Hopefully this weekend.

According to Mike Stoops from MOL, the Ultimate Wax and NXT 2.0 are not the same. He said they are completely different technologies. I don't remember him elaborating on their differences though....

i have the liquid version...but sorry i wont be able to use it til we get a weekend in indiana above 40 degrees.

Havent used it myself yet but some over on MOL say its the same streaky mess as NXT.

[ScottB]

Its coming ....

Yea I read on MOL that it's different to NXT.

I haven't seen the review on MOL saying it's a streaky mess but ill have to have a look for it. I'm not a big fan of NXT wax to be honest. I'll try and do a half and half test of it with NXT on a work car if I get the chance, although that may be a couple of weeks away before I get the time.

Biggest thing will be for me if it's more durable than NXT, because my friend uses NXT currently and I am giving him a can for his birthday.

I also have some DP Poli-Coat on the way too.

I hope its not the same as NXT(durability and streaky-ness wise)

Again, if its more durable than NXT2.0, I'll definitely be trying it!

[davidhill]

I personally use it, after i use Meguiars nxt 2.0 tech wax, I think it gives it more of a wet look!!

[rfinkle2]

every post I've read from someone who used the liquid mentions streakiness.

i held off buying it because, imo, many of Meguiar's sealants are streaky even after the swipe test etc.

[aerogt01]

Mr. Stoops mentioned the streakiness problem should be easily solved, but I have not read the reviews.

He also said it is more durable that either NXT 2.0 or M16.

[Matt]

Hopefully my order wil arrive within the next few days so I can get to try it..... If it stops raining.

Does it need a moisture free period to cure like other sealants?

[mg6045]

when is the liquid coming ?

[gmcguy]

I'm by no means an expert.....but Ive had good luck with the nxt 2.0. Never had any streaking problems at all. Jusy my 2 cents

[Tom Weed]

I've had some streaking issues in the past with NXT and M21, but it was usually an issue with black paint and usually humid summer conditions. It was never enough that I stopped using them, I would usually have to give them another wipedown with a QD mist in those areas. M21 was my go to LSP on details...

Quote from MOL


The wax was applied with a d/a and a Megs 4" finishing pad so it was a super thin coat.

FYI - a 4" pad fits inside the UWax container.


I had no streaking with the paste.

Thought you'd like to know.
