Meg's ultimate wax????

[SheldonH]

I put a coat of this on my vehicle and was just wondering how long it would last. I know is a synthetic Seleant even though it says wax. But considering I bought it from Walmart I don't think it will last as long as a true sealant. What do u think

Its on a daily driver, parked in the open, in Tennessee mild weather

I would say 5-6 months. Meg's makes good products

But considering I bought it from Walmart...

-Wally world sells/has sold many car care products that are favorites on many detailing forums...Among others:
-Autoglym HD; Mother's; RainX; Stoner's; Nevr-Dull; California Duster/Jelly Blade; Lexol; Surf City; and Meguiar's.

-Retailer/point of purchase of products doesn't necessarily relate to their being good or not. Ever notice how CarQuest/NAPA is where people say they buy their DuraGloss at times?

-Anyway...One shouldn't always judge a book by its cover...IMO.

-Meg's Ultimate Wax is indeed an excellent product...Meguiar's would have it no other way.

I only got about 3 - 4 weeks or so out of it, and that was after a wash, clay, Ultimate Polish by hand, and the Ultimate Wax. I think I did like 2 boosters of Ultimate Quik Wax in between. That was just my experience though. Worked good while it lasted. Same goes for NXT 2.0. Here's a couple of videos I took of Ultimate Wax beading and sheeting two weeks after application:

That's weird you only got that much.

Got about a month and a half if even that out of the Meg's Ultimate Synthetic Liquid.

I'm out in middle TN, and I think Shane is out in east TN.

Just because it came from WalMart means "nada" as far as durability is concerned. I suspect you will get anywhere from 4-12 weeks depending on the conditions your DD will face. You can extend beyond that by either applying a second coat (apply light and thin) and then topping with a spray wax every couple of weeks.

[Flannigan]

If the car sits out side you are looking at anywhere from 2-6 weeks. Ultimate wax does not have great durability at all.

I gotta jump into this fray...

Just because something is OTC vs Specialty Shop, does NOT make it inferior.

Case in point, Meguiar's is offering the MF System at some Wal-Marts. Does purchasing at WM make it any less of a product than purchasing from, say AG?

Rant over...

I am NOT advocating WM, just an example.

Sorry guys, I worded that wrong and I did not mean anything by the wal mart part. I buy plenty of Meg's supplies from there and they are great. I guess what I was trying to imply was that I know it's not the best sealant on the market. On a side not so far it has been 2 weeks with 2 washes and a quick wax and still looks and performs great. Sorry for my brain lapse

I should note that my car is a daily driver that sits outside 24/7. That being said, I still expect to get a minimum of 2 months out of a sealant in order for me to consider using it regularly.

I haven't tried the Ultimate Wax yet but everything that I've used from Meguiars so far had poor durability. Looks good but doesn't last.

Totally true. I haven't had very good luck at all with Ultimate Wax.

My Meg ultimate Wax still sitting on my car surface for 3 month...not to much beading or sheeting, but MF with QD test proof that ultimate wax still protect my car surface :)

I don't believe anyone had issue with the wording per se. We are all still learning and everyone has to start somewhere.
