Title: Meguiar's
Post by: Joan on April 19, 2019, 05:44:54 pm
Has anyone used this Meguiar's product on their LD? If so, what was your experience re: ease of application and removal, quality of protection, and duration of application? What was used to apply and remove the product? Microfiber towels? Other? Additional comments and/or suggestions? (Do any of you hire out?  ;) )

Amazon.com: Meguiar's G18220 Ultimate Liquid Wax, 20 oz: Automotive (https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G18216-Ultimate-Liquid-Wax/dp/B06WVGZL5W/?tag=scmcldo-20&th=1)

TIA.

Joan I haven’t used it on the LD. But I used it on my Corvette. Goes on very easy and comes off easy too. Leaves a beautiful deep shine that lasts a long time. But my car is garaged and doesn’t see any bad weather lol. I put it on with a application sponge and buff it off with microfiber towel. Mothers also make a similar product that works great too.

Joan, haven’t used that particular product but Meguiar’s has been my wax of choice for many year’s. Give it try and let us know what you think!

That would make a good looking toad behind the LD!  👌

Greg you can bet I have thought about it LoL. But it would have to go in a enclosed trailer. It weighs 3100 lbs and the weight of the trailer would bring the weight well over our 4000 lb limit. But it sure would be fun.

Joan-

I use the Finish-Kare 2180 polymer sealant instead of waxing. The mothership sent me my first bottle when I asked about the product listed in the LD owner's manual.

Sealant application is similar to a wax. It seems to last longer between washes. I have used it on the cars, too.

Joan

I have used it before and found be another premium synthetic wax. It's easy to apply and removed.
Go for it but you are on your own, our own rig is begging to be waxed.

Even though I am still a proponent of Finish First, I have been tempted to try that Mequiars product. Mostly because it supposedly does not leave white stains on plastic trim. My textured running boards show I have been diligent polishing our rig :D

Joan, be caerful on that ladder! 8)

Folks may be interested in testing done by Gus Weber and myself, about 16 years ago comparing Finish First with common, off-the-shelf waxes. Neither of us could see a difference between the pricey wax and the better waxes from Mother's or Mequiars, when used in real world situations.
Enjoy reading.

I've tried several 'waxes' over the years, including Finish First, Turtle Wax, a couple of Mother's products, even Meguiar's Tech Wax; I know that Meguiar's products are preferred by a lot of 'car nuts', so I thought I'd try the 'Ultimate' version.

Thanks to all for the suggestions and recommendations!

For me and mine I use Aero Waterless (https://www.amazon.com/Aero-Cosmetics-Waterless-Aircraft-Motorcycle/dp/B00X04JRMU/ref=zg_bs_15718431_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PQJ8A7TPB55QRARC623R).   Spray on then wipe off.

Thanks for the vote of confidence in this product, Glen -- I just received my order of Aero wash.... Not sure when I will get to the project -- but some day when I run out of excuses.

And the Aero Aroducts extending washing pole is a work of art.
