I own a Black Lexus IS300 as a daily driver. Now, if you own a black car, you know how hard it is to maintain the mirror gloss of the factory paint job. One day after washing the car, the paint is already a magnet to all the elements out there. I bought the item yesterday and applied it the same evening. The gloss and lubricity the detailer has is impressive. After applying it, i glided my finger across the panels to find that it felt like the car was freshly waxed. It states on the bottle that it needs 12 hour of "curing" time to reach its max efficiency. I have not tested out the "hydrophobic polymers", but i shall be doing so very soon. I highly recommend this product to carry in the trunk, as i do. It also has a nice fragrance; probably familiar to you if you've ever used the Meguiar's NXT liquid wax. I especially recommend it, if you have a black or dark colored vehicle. It will definitely make your car stand out even more.

I've been using Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer on my car for the last 6 weeks. The results are as promised. High shine, excellent water beading - truly repels water leaving less on car surfaces after a rain or washing which makes your drying time faster.

I used Meguiar's NXT wax first and then have followed up with Quick Detailer as needed.

Biggest "pro" I can think of is that it does not leave white residue anywhere on car.

Biggest "con" I can think of is that you really have to follow the directions for the product to work. One must do only one section at a time, spreading product before it dries and then turning cloth (I use a separate microfiber cloth) to finish drying.

Overall I am highly satisfied with the product and find that it not only repels water, but makes removing bugs and road tar from painted surfaces much, much easier.

Highly recommended!

WOW!

I think it has been 4 weeks since I've waxed my truck but you couldn't tell that this morning. It looked like I'd just spent hours putting a couple of coats of wax on it.

I have an extended cab Ford F150. It has lots of surface area - sheesh there is a lot of surface area! I looked at the clock on the radio and got started. I read the propaganda about doing a "full size" car in 10 minutes and thought 'yeah, right'. You don't get any fuller sized than the current F150's with side panels like milk trucks. I figured I'd be a half an hour minimum. Well. It took me 15 minutes, or 14 and some seconds. (!!!).

Quick. Yes. Stunning? A resounding YES! It really is eye-popping good. I'm not sure it looked this good right after I waxed.

As to the slickness of the surface... I work at a concrete plant and this jerk co-worker managed to intentionally splash the side of the truck with some concrete-ish muddy slime stuff. If you are familiar with the industry, he'd just backflushed and he slung his chute around and doused my truck with the wet sedimentary residue stuff. I just rinsed it off. It doesn't look like it ever happened! I had some muddy stuff on the wheel wells from first thing in the morning and I rinsed that away with some gentle hand action after it sat in the lot for about 12 hours and it was very hot and sunny today. No problem, rinsed right off.

10 bucks - worth it at twice the price. Get it, you'll love it. Be sure to use a good quality microfiber towel - Cobra Miracle Towel 6 Pack ***NEW*** These towels really are excellent.

For the price, you will not get a better quick detailer, nor a better investment to protect your car paint. For me, "quick detailers" were a little confusing in their use and purpose. So for those of you who don't know, they are meant to be used for two basic purposes:

1) To protect your car's clear coat/paint. Ideally you use this between waxing to maintain both the glossy newly waxed look as well as protection from the elements. The hydrophobic properties (water beading) serve as a visual reminder of that protection. It's not as good protection as a full waxing and it doesn't last as long, but again, it's effective to prolong wax protection.

2) Act as a cleaning agent. This detailer can be used to get rid of a variety of stains. I personally have used it to get rid of everything from caked in bird droppings on the hood to road splatter near my wheels.

For me, I use it as a protectant only for touch ups on certain areas or after I clean up a stain. I don't really use it on my entire car as a "pseudo wax". The simple reason is that for you to safely do that, you really need to fully wash your car beforehand. Otherwise, without a hose and car soap, you risk actually scratching your clear coat with all the dirt/debris while you apply this detailer. And if you wash your car, then it's just not that much more difficult/time consuming to apply a wax right after (vs using this detailer), which is better protection anyways. Although one time saving is that in waxing you need to buff out your car after applying it, which can take some effort to do properly whereas you do not with this detailer. If you do wind up applying this on large areas of your car, just remember that you should try to keep it dry for 12 hours for the detailer to fully cure to maximum protection.

However, as a cleaning/protectant for spot stains this is indispensible. It's extremely effective and I always keep a bottle of this in my trunk because you never know when a bird is going to do its business on your car and you need to get those type of stains out as quickly as possible before they corrode your clear coat.

Hope that helps!

This is the perfect product to use when you just washed the car two days ago and a bird decides to leave a deposit on your car, or you didn't quite avoid that mud puddle in the road and it sprayed down your passenger door. It also appears to me that it helps make the wax protection last longer as the water is still beading even a year later. I often use it to remove any residual water spotting after I wash and dry the car. Overall just a great product to have on hand.

I've tried several detail sprays and this is the best one I've found. It's a little more expensive than the regular Meguiars detail spray, but it's worth it. I use the Ultimate Quick Detailer & microfiber towels once or twice a week to keep my car clean. I never need to wash it. It contains polymers that keep the surface shiny and helps to repell water. They call it "hydrophobic polymer technology". Of course they hype it for marketing, but the product really is very good. I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could.

I have been using Meguiars Quick Detailer frequently to maintain a fresh clean shine. I continue to be completely satisfied with the new results the Ultimate Detailer leaves on a daily basis. A quick dust off with the California Duster and then with a microfiber towel to use along with the Detailer does an amazing job.

I have had experience is using many different quick detailers this past year. The advantage of Meguiars UQD is that it is stocked at many autoparts stores or easily ordered from Amazon. It is essential for maintaining a freashly waxed look. I used this last week and of course it rained later that night, the product just beads water relentlessly. I advise using a microfiber cloth with this product. I leave it in my car's trunk for a easy 10 minute detail. This will not replace conventional waxes, but can be used to extend the effectiveness of a freashly waxed car.

This product is the best Quick deatailer I have ever used and I have used quite a few! It is amazing how it makes the rain or water beed up just like you have waxed it! It makes a Great Glossy slick shine on the paint when you use it! I just love,love it for a Quick detailer!!!

I'm not a big believer in the expression "Quick and Easy" but honestly that does apply to this spray on, spread and wipe off car detailer. Let's be clear... this isn't a polish and it isn't a wax. Those are much more work but you will be rewarded with a more "professional job" which will last longer and, no doubt, protect your finish longer.

But if you have a good finish on your vehicle a present and are looking for a nice shine which will bead up well through several rains this is highly recommended. I have done my Honda Civic coupe twice and my 2003 GMC pickup truck (with a fiberglas cap) once using just one bottle (about $9.00 cost) of this product.

I used the recommended microfiber cloth to spread the product and a regular terry cloth towell to buff the finish. I followed the directions: spray a small area, spread the product with the micro-fiber cloth and then I used the towel to buff. Rain beads up through several rains and driving in the rain. I can't say how the product holds up to washing... it might not last as long if washed a couple times. But it looks great on both my '11 Honda and '03 GMC.
