Ultimate Quik Wax: Sealant?

Is UQW a Synthetic Sealant?

**Lumadar** · 03-20-2009,ï¿½09:48 PM

In what sense?

It is a spray-able synthetic/polymer based "wax/sealant."

It is intended to be a "booster" wax in between full details or regular waxing.

I personally have gotten at least 3 solid weeks of durability with noteworthy sheeting out of it, though. Not bad!

Here`s a couple videos:

After a week

After 3 weeks and several rainy days

Meg`s UQW is amazing

but as Lumadar said, i think its more of a booster wax but if anything, i`d say its more on the sealant side than the traditional wax side.

i put two coats on my car and its going to rain tomorrow, i cant wait to see them beads

=D

Does that mean it won`t hold as well over a carnuba?

Could I use this over KSG that was applied back in December?

Yes, sure won`t harm a thing. The point of explaining it is a booster wax is that Meguiar`s isn`t trying to convince people that a spray wax that can be applied to an entire car in 5-10 minutes is going to give as long lasting of results as a true liquid or paste wax with proper dry time, and 30-60 minute application times.

If you wash your car once a week, or every 2 weeks, UQW is a fantastic way to maintain a protected and glossy finish for a couple months between full clay and wax jobs.

UQW is a blended wax with both synthetic and natural waxes. So technicaly, it`s not a sealant.

Does it matter?

Is UQW a wipe on and off or a wipe on and let it haze and then wipe it off product?

**Alfisti** · 03-21-2009,ï¿½08:09 AM

It can handle both methods, but Megs recommends maximum durability when allowed to haze first. Apparently, it does it very fast.

if you spray a panel and spread it around thoroughly, it will flash quickly. i consider it more like a wowo product than a haze and wipe off one...

Mike P suggests several minutes to haze. It`s not a true WOWO product. If you want that kind of spray wax then try the three Mothers spray waxes. They`re all WOWO waxes. Very nice too.

Well Meguiar`s advertises it as a WOWO--as far as I can tell, Mike Phillips is the only one really advocating the option to let it haze (yes, I know Mike technically represents Meguiar`s). I respect the hell out of Mike and realize that he knows more about UQW than most people, but I tried his method (foam applicator/haze/wipe off) and I don`t think it works any better than just wiping it on and off.

A quick note: the best method I`ve found is to apply UQW with a damp microfiber towel, and then wipe it off with a dry one. I think Mike also advocates this method as an alternative to the foam applicator.

You`re right that the Megs copy seems to indicate a WOWO method, as originally stated by Mike P.

However, it seems that was not entirely correct.

So, I am assuming that means most or all factory coats as well??
