Ultimate Liquid Wax

Wax is part of a car maintenance work flow. It’s pointless if you don’t have a next step. If you get this, get the latest version of the ultimate quik spray as well. It goes on as a rinse aid. After trying it, I would only recommend waxes with a rinse-aid maintenance product. Once you get into maintaining your own car paint, you get sucked in. Face it, no one will care for your baby like you do. It’s time consuming. But my 13-year old car looks great; I don’t have a payment, and the process is kinda zen. Manual labor is good for the soul. My work-flow is based on Ultimate wax. I maintain with the ultimate quick wax as a rinse-aid after washing. This is a great work flow. The ultimate base coat, plus the quik wax after every wash seems very workable, and my cars look good. I am about 6 weeks into this workflow and very happy. We’ll see if buildup becomes an issue or if the wax just peters out, but the process makes sense. A little wax comes off with the dirt and the wax gets replaced while the base stays protected. Meguiars is not clear about why the wax will ultimately fail. I am guessing it’s a combo of UV exposure + that dirt that you can’t quite clean off makes it all the way to the first wax coat. At that point, strip then rewax. We’ll see how long that takes. I thought about the SiO2 stuff. The base coat goes on easier. Spray then towel. Spray again, then rinse and towel. Not bad, no spreading or buffing. The maintenance is rinse/wash/rinse/spray /rinse/ towel. The ultimate wax maintenance workflow is rinse/wash/rinse/spray/towel. One fewer rinse. Not a big deal, but not nothing. The internet reviews and meguiars see no real difference in performance. For washing a minivan or large vehicle, say a pickup, circling the vehicle with a towel is less work than circling with a hose or pressure washer. For a small car, like my 13yr old coupe, it makes very little difference. Note: clay your car if you are just starting out. Wax adheres much better to a clean surface. Clay micropolishes while pulling dirt off. It’s a good system if used sparingly. No wax is going to work great if the base is not clean. This clay step is probably wore important than picking a wax. If you maintain the wax as described, dirt should stay away from the clear coat, so it should be years before you have to do it again. Some people say to clay once a year. That seems a lot to me. Finally, note that all clear coats for your car are not the same. There is a combination of luck and car company quality. A good washing/waxing routine goes a long way toward equalizing this. A polished new looking cheap vehicle is way more beautiful than a poorly maintained high end luxury car. If you are into that. My wife gardens. I try to keep the cars looking good.

I'm a huge fan of all Meguiar's car care products. This wax is so easy to apply and remove it almost takes no effort. It leaves a great shine without any residue or swirling marks. The shine and protection lasts for months, you'll be surprised how long it beads.

Been using this for years, wipes on easy, comes off easy without leaving white residue on plastic. Lasts long

This wax is great. I hadn't waxed my Jeep Grand Cherokee in a few years (yea, yea, I know). I gave it a good wash and went to work with this wax. I applied it by hand but I buffed it off with a buffer and wow, am I impressed. My 6 year old Jeep (dark red) was glimmering in the sun. A week or two later I washed it and water beaded on the surface and slid off the vertical sections. It's been over 2 months now and the Jeep still looks great.

Applying the wax goes in easily. You only need a thin layer or amount. It doesn't see to hurt the plastic on my truck which is a bonus. However why the 4 stars? Talking off the wax takes ALOT of effort and leaves a residue. You have to really put some elbow grease in inorder to get it completely off. Frustrating. As far as protection seems to do the job.

Worked great I used it after I used the ultimate compound (had to fill in and paint a deep scratch). I used it to protect the paint job and it was good as new. Very satisfied worth the money. Easy for beginners.

I tried to use the solid mass wax and it wasn't for me so I gave this product a try and I am happy with the results, my truck looks nice and shiny. Good price, easy to apply and very easy to remove residual wax.

I’ve tried a lot of waxes, but Meguiar’s Ultimate Liquid Wax truly lives up to the hype 🔥. This stuff glides on like butter and buffs out silky smooth, leaving an insane mirror-like shine that turns heads 😍✨. The depth and gloss it gives my paint is unreal — plus, it beads water like crazy 🌧️💧. Rain just rolls right off, and the protection lasts for weeks. Comes with a quality applicator and plush towel, which is a big bonus 🙌. What really stands out is how easy it is to use. No muscle needed — apply, wait a few minutes, wipe, done. And no white residue left behind on trim or plastic, either! 💪🧼 If you want that deep, wet shine without the hassle, this is your wax. Period. 💯🛞
