Review: Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere w/ video

This is my first review, so bear with me!

I picked up a bottle of Meguiar's new Waterless car wash solution called "Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere" from Autozone a few days ago and thought I would write a review for everyone here. (Meguiar's seems to get skipped over a lot)

I picked it up for 14.99 with a 5 dollar mail in rebate, so 10 bucks. :props:

Video review:

Meguiar's claims:
Product attributes:

Safely cleans more "dirt" than a spray detailer, AND leaves hydrophobic wax protection!
1 bottle will do 3 - 5 average cars
The solution to "I want to wash my car, but..."
"I don't have access to a hose."
"it's winter.:
"my city is under water restrictions."
"I live in an apartment."
This is the solution for consumers who don't have the space to do a traditional wash, as well as enthusiasts who need something more than a detailer

My review:

As many of you know, having a black car presents a lot of problems with products that streak, leave residue etc. I'm happy to say this product is streak free and leaves no residue when applied correctly. It goes on and off comes easily.

Application:

Spray the product over a small section of a slightly dirty vehicle and gently wipe in one direction with a clean microfiber towel. Then, take another clean microfiber towel and buff out the rest of the product until it disappears and leaves a nice shine behind. Meguiar's says there is wax present in the product and as far as I can tell, it does a pretty good job. It leaves the paint nice and smooth and clean!

My thoughts:

Watch the video for more, but overall I think it is a great product. I was VERY skeptical of waterless wash products and it took a lot will power to decide to give this a whirl. I was not let down! :awesome:

Meguiar's waterless wash is simple, easy to use and leaves behind a clean, shiny car. Give it a try yourself!

good writeup, I was wondering how this works compared to the competition

I am really scared of trying the waterless washes as my car gets covered in dust and dirt top to bottom in less than half a day and there's no preventing it. Nice review and video now I would like to see how the brake dust barrier works

From what I've read online, if your car is caked in dust, just take to a car wash bay and spray it off with the pressure hose, then use the waterless wash when you get home.

What exactly do you mean by the brake dust barrier? How well this stuff holds up against/repels the brake dust after it is applied to the wheels?

Meg's brake dust barrier one of the new products just releases for 2012 just like the wash and wax anywhere

Nice try on the video, but the lighting was terrible and I couldn't see anything.

Thanx for the review.

I too have been following this on MOL and am just waiting for it to show up locally.

Yeah sorry about that. Next time I shoot a video I'll crank up the lighting

this product is pretty good for what it does, i agree. I used it on my girlfriends elantra and it made it pretty clean. I will only use it on her car tho. ill continue to do an onr wash on my Mini.
