Meguiar's G18309 Ultimate Fast Finish, 8.5 oz

Makes your car shine like it's wet.

This product is easy to use and it takes little time to apply and wipe off. Since my car is garaged most of the time, I usually don't need to even wipe off any haze. The car is sleek and shiny when I'm finished

I used to keep my cars until the potential repair costs made replacement the better option. This meant good maintenance detailing. But newer cars are changing more quickly, with ever more expensive computer and smog devices, smart self driving features, and convenience items. And government pushes for more self driving and different power trains, like hybrid, hydrogen, 'pure' electric, etc. make them depreciate even more quickly.So for me they aren't worth keeping longer than 3/4 of the warranty period. I still like a decent looking car finish, but truthfully my cars are always garaged, and only get a detail and wash when they are pretty dirty. Once a year - about 8000 miles of California city driving - the cars get a complete clay/polish/wax from a detailer. But usually I just dust them off, and clean them with a product like Wash and Wax Anywhere when they get real dusty, or immediately if they have obvious bird or bug mess on the finish.The problem with Wash and Wax Anywhere is that while it cleans and shines very well, it is a dust magnet. I suspect some sort of static or chemical charge, but the clean car needs dusting by the second day, even if it has been unused in the garage.I spoke with Mequir's help line, and they suggested puting a coat of Ultimate Fast Finish over the Wash and Wax product. I tried this and it works beautifully - extra shine and depth of color, a bit more resistance to bird and bug issues, and no more dust magnet. Highly recommended!There is one drawback, and that is the black microfiber towel that comes with the Ultimate Fast Finish. Whereas some detailers only use a microfiber towel one time on a car before relegating it to floor and sink use, I always wash mine for reuse a second or third time before re-purposing the towels. I wash microfiber towels as a seperate load, on cool, with several rinses. Unfortunately, the Mequires black towels bleed color. White, blue, or yellow microfiber towels will be grey, dark blue, or yellow brown after being washed with the Meguirs towel. (Yellow Costco/Kirkland towels bleed yellow, so it isn't only a Meguiars problem.) So don't accidently wash these microfibers with anything that you don't want tinted!

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but on my application it didn't really impress me. Sure it was really easy to wipe on and off, but the result was kind of "meh", and water didn't really bead all that well afterwards either. I have found that "303 Products Touchless Sealant" works particularly well, although it's pricey.

This is my first time using a WOWA (wipe on, walk away) sealant and although I was a bit nervous trying something new to me, I am really quite impressed. Some background - my show cars already have perfectly corrected paint with multiple layers of carnauba wax coating it. No matter what anyone says, there is no other product that produces the depth of good old-fashioned carnauba. I typically use Meguiar's Ultimate Detailer to keep the finish looking good between shows and have been very happy with this combination for years. Fast forward to last week and I see a new Meguiar's product, Ultimate Fast Finish, which captured my curiosity. I ordered a bottle to try and did some research on application methods while waiting for delivery. Upon receiving it I immediately tried it on one of my cars. Since there was no actual prep work needed, it took about 20 minutes to do the entire car including the wheels. I used the enclosed microfiber towel and followed the directions provided by Meguiar's, spraying a very small quantity on the towel, wiping an area with the product, then turning the towel and wiping again to ensure an even application. It sure is different than what I'm used to - you see what looks like a thin, oily film that flashes (dries) quickly and needs no rubbing or buffing. Just wipe it on and walk away. As previously stated, I am quite impressed with the results. It noticeably enhanced the depth of shine and there seemed to be no problems using it over the existing finish. Since I just used it I have no experience with longevity, nor do I know how it will hold up with my Ultimate Quick Detailer between shows. According to Meguiar's it is supposed to be fully compatible with their other products so I don't expect any issues but you never know. I am also curious to see if it makes cleaning bug splatter easier and if it allows me to 'dust' the car as usual without any problems. I'll have answers to these as the show season progresses and will update this review if there is anything to report. But for the price, the ease of use and the results so far I would recommend Ultimate Fast Finish for anyone looking for a WOWA sealant to try. Bottom line, I'm old school but willing to try new tricks and Meguiar's Ultimate Fast Finish appears to be a good one.
