My review of the new meguires wax

Last night I applied the first coat on the car and bygum does this stuff ever work. After only 1 coat (217th) the shine is noticeably different. If it was a mirror before it was a stightly fuzzy mirror because now the car is crystal clear.

Like I mentioned the wax is more of a foamy consistency so be careful how much you dispense. Even though I have done my cars 1000+ times over the years I squeezed out to much for the roof which is just a plain old waste. After I got the hang of the amount needed all went smooth. Once it quits raining (5 straight days and nights) I will post up a pic or two lol

If I was to do an review of the new Meguiars Ultimate Car Wax it would be similar to yours. Key is to use a light application or if you load to much an the applicator make sure you it out on a large area. I notice that the feel of the paint is very smooth after the wax is buffed off.

Looks VERY good as your color is harder to get the deep shine over say black Kona etc. Once my applicator was loaded up (after the roof) I found it easy to use my new dabbing style of applying wax.

Sounds like I might have to get some now that the official review is 218 coats good!!! Good tips on the application guys, Ray your car looks fantastic, definitely going to give this stuff a go.

^^you should be able to get 15+ coats out of a bottle so even at 35.00 it's cheap. Good luck

Ditto on the assessment. I preceeded the waxing with the Ultimate polish first, then wax. This stuff really works, even with Lime.

Has anyone tried the AutoGlym leather care yet. I just did the seats 2 weeks ago so even though I bought 2 containers I have not used it yet. Next week for the first time

I took a few pictures of the mustang prior to going to the Camrose show and added them to the link above. The new wax sures gives the Mustang a wet look.
