I have used Ultimate Fast Finish and Ultimate Wax (Liquid not Quik). I would lean towards the Ultimate Wax for water beading and better protection. Although fast finish can hold its own. But lately I’ve been using Fast Finish because it’s so darn easy and the shine is very glassy. Both are winners in my book. You can’t go wrong with either.

Yes I would agree I have tried both, I thought UFF was suppose to be there best?
Although I thought ULW has more gloss.

It is supposed to be their “best” and longest lasting protection. But lab tests are no where near real world results. The good thing is it’s so easy to apply. ULW probably has more gloss. I’ve only used UFF on lighter colors it’s hard to tell between the two for me.

Re: Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish vs Ultimate Wax
I really liked Ultimate paste wax. But UFF just doesn't do it for me besides that its easy to apply. I actually tried it again today on half of my tailgate. It doesn't bead worth a damn IMO. But it does sheet decently. I know beading isn't everything but it just is so so to me.
UPW worked really well and for a wax/sealant is very easy to use.

Do you have any experience with ULW? I’ve tried applying it (by DA and by hand) numerous times and it just never seems to dry and wipe down cleanly. It’s basically become the wax I use on family members cars who aren’t as particular about that kind of thing (and have a light colored car anyways.)
I’ve heard UPW doesn’t really have this issue, which might lead me to buying it once I use up the bottle of ULW.
It’s a shame because I really like the way ULW behaves, but never getting a clean wipe down is what lead me to eventually end up with 845, which I’m loving so far.

I haven't used UW in so long but it's pretty to work with. UFF is easy to apply as well. Nothing spectacular but for a consumer product it is not bad. UW is better from a hydrophobic perspective. Never tried UPW. Supposed to look even better than ULW.

ULW does not haze like a traditional wax. It can be removed within 5 mins (I would have to double check). It can be applied to the entire car and then wiped off. It needs to be applied real thin or else it will streak. I never had an issue with it being hard to wipe off. I have not used it in years.
There is a new updated formula available now at most retailers.

Interesting that UFF is really more for protection than looks shine etc., so ok as a long term topper
Haven't tried Paste Ultimate.
