Default What a super product!

Meguiar's Quik Wax

This thread wasn't designed to argue over which product is best, or who knows more about Polymer waxes, etc.

I was just delighted at the incredible "wet look", this stuff gave my car!

Silver, like most light colors, doesn't reflect light like darker colors. As a result, it's always difficult to get a real deep glossy shine.

However, this stuff really does the trick, and the entire car can be done in about 1/2 hour!

Great product Meguiar's, thanks!

I use nothing but Adams, but most of the major brands of care care products are very good and Meguiar's is a great product. It really comes down to what you are looking for in the product and does it do what you want. I used Meguiar's all the time prior to finding Adams.

Oh by the way it looks great.

let me make a funny: looks to me as if you must use it on the floor, too.

BOTH look excellent.

Good product and what took you so long? I get it done in 10-12 minutes, if car is clean to begin with.

It will not last to long but if used like/after a quick detailer or every wash then you have my blessings.

I like it over a sealant which gives better protection.

Good shine for sure.

I'll give Adams a try, but it'll really have to show me something to top this stuff.

I'll let you know how I like it. What is the exact name of the Adams product you use?

Thanks Bill,...the floor is epoxy paint. Always has a nice shine, and spills like oil, etc. wipe right off, leaving no stains. I'll never go back to an untreated concrete floor again.

Here's a photo I took a few days after the epoxy paint cured...

When I was your age, I could have done it in 10 minutes as well. Everything takes a little longer now, just ask my wife.

I've been using that Meguiar's Quik Wax for about 6 months now. You're right, it really does love silver paint.
