Ultimate Liquid Wax Longevity
I know there is probably just a ton of factors to really get a solid number, but I was wondering if there is an average length of time this Wax lasts for.
I think I saw something that said Wolfgang's Paint Sealant lasts on average about 4-5 months. So this is what I am looking for. About how many months I can count on it lasting?
Thanks everyone and have a Great New Year!

Re: Ultimate Liquid Wax Longevity
I'm getting two pretty solid months here in SD from April to November. The third month just doesn't feel/appear like it did the first two months, but as far as protection goes, I have a hunch it's still hanging on to a good degree. And that's with weekly hand washes and a touchless now and then. I've not been through a winter yet, although I have ULW topped with Colli 476 right now. It's been about a month and it's still like the day it was applied. And it's been covered in salt and grime during this whole time, plus weekly washes. I'm quite impressed.
With my wash habits and DD use, combined with SD weather, I'm comfortable with it for about three months. I feel confident in saying they're wouldn't be much left after 5 months. Topped with the 476 though, I'm feeling like I might be in for a surprise.

Thank you for your detailed and thorough answer Harpolith! This definitely helps me get a better understanding.

Re: Ultimate Liquid Wax Longevity
Sorry everyone, I noticed that in my original post on this thread, I may have worded things wrong, which may have caused some confusion.
When I said I heard Wolfgang was mentioned to last 4-5 months. I didn't mean that's what I want to get out of ULW.
I was only asking for how long on average ULW last on it's own.
Thank you.

Re: Ultimate Liquid Wax Longevity
I think with decent prep you can easily get 3-4 months. Hit it with uqw now and then to extend it. Many say ultimate approaches 845 durability.

Re: Ultimate Liquid Wax Longevity
Used Ultimate paste a bit with great results. Unfortunately I couldn't really test long term durability due to always trying new stuff lol.
3-5 mo shouldn't be a problem with good prep and maintenance washes

Re: Ultimate Liquid Wax Longevity
Thanks guys! I have Ultimate Wash and Wax to wash my car with, UQW to spray on Just After my washes, and then will use Ultimate Quick Detailer to clean of bird droppings and other things.
Hopefully keeping on top of this Maintenece will help it to hold up pretty well.
Here comes New Years Eve, have fun!

That sounds like a good plan. I think you'll be pleased. You'll probably be so happy with it after the first application that you'll want to apply it again long before it's protective abilities are gone

Re: Ultimate Liquid Wax Longevity
•Since its introduction...
-Ultimate Wax has been advertised as Meguiar's
longest lasting protection product to date.
-And...Through the course of having used it...
I have found this statement to be true.
•Of course its longevity/(durability?) depends on:
-paint surface preparation;
-the conditions in which vehicle is being used;
-and, as you alluded to in your OP:
"a ton of factors to really get a solid number".

Re: Ultimate Liquid Wax Longevity
Thank you for this post Bob!
In order to make sure that Prep is spot on, I will be:
1. Washing
2. Claying
3. Ultimate Compound
4. Ultimate Polish
and then
5. Finishing it all off with the ULW
And then Maintaining with said products.
