When I wrote my last blog post Rebadging I mentioned there was another story in the pictures.... it was my beautiful new wax job using Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax. I bought this stuff when Crappy Tire had a sale for $9 off and the total cost was $25.99, so without the discount this stuff was $35, not a cheap wax by any means.It comes with a sponge applicator and microfibre cloth for wax removal and buffing. When I opened it up the first thing I noticed was the enticing aroma.... man this stuff smells good! It really gives you the impression it is made from some good natural wax but it is actually a pure synthetic polymer so they must just add some nice coconut smell to the mix.
I read a lot of reviews about this product, all of them raving. After a good car washing, I opened it up, applied some to the applicator pad and off I went. This is really easy to apply and unlike the liquid wax I normally use, it is easier to see areas you have already covered. I had my entire car done in about 20 minutes, being careful not to get any on the black plastic trim. There are also stern warnings about keeping it off your skin so I used a pair of gloves which also made it easier to hold on to the relatively small applicator pad.
It only took a couple minutes for the wax to dry to a haze so I used the included microfibre towel to remove the wax fairly easily. There were no signs of streaking at all left behind, which can sometimes happen with the liquid wax.
Overall I'd say this is a great product, from looking at the amount of wax I used I am estimating I can do about 10 cars with the entire container. Highly recommended!
