Tarmac_Terrorist Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Couldn't resist buying some of the latest Megs stuff (despite the cost)to compare to the Clearkote stuff I've recently been using. To be honest, I can't honestly say one looks better that the other. However, I found that the Megs stuff didn't spread as readily across the surface and definitely needs more buffing. I understand that the Megs is designed to withstand washing etc so maybe the extra effort is worth it (although somehow, I suspect I will still want to apply after each wash to give it that extra bling). What's everone elses thoughts on these products? BTW, i recently carefully applied some of the Clearkote detailer to the touchscreen sat nav as it states that it almost eliminates fingerprints. It works pretty well - doesn't totally stop marks on the screen but makes them much less noticeable and east to wipe off with a velvet pile MF.

steelwind101 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Hi Tarmac, When the Megs UQD came out i did quick review on here. The UQD is harder to move b/c its acutally a spray sealant. I love it, the beading is pretty nice as well. I notice it depth and looks nice on plastic light covers. I also really like Clearkote QD, i buy it by the gallon. It doesnt leave anything behind on the surface, it looks great on all surfaces. All i would say is the UQD doesnt last as long if you apply it to a wet car. Geoff PS. The UQD smells great and the sprayer is excellent!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Hi Geoff, I applied it to a dry car so it'll be interesting to test it's longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimtim Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I hadn't used the Clearkote Quickshine for a while either until the other day and I forgot how slick it left the surface. It really impressed me and is definately one of the better QD's out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I've just read that applying a 'sealent' type detailer spray is not a good idea if you have a carnuba / wax type finish on your car as the wax can no longer breathe. This may cause cloudiness over time. Best I go easy on the Megs Ultimate Detailer then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of new products on the market that are acutally polymer based that work fine with Nuba wax underneath. You really wont have any problems with UQD. Optimum opti seal is another polymer based product which i posted on here about a few months ago. I currently have it over 3 lays of Pinnacle Souveran Wax. Im using the latest polymer developments to "seal" in my wax finish!! In the pass sealants over natural waxes dident work, newer products are avaible that work to compliment each other, UQD is one of these.

jettadeluxe Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I brought back several bottles of Megs UD from America, $8.99 a bottle, so only a fiver each! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I paid even less as they had a Meguiars in rebate at launch!! It makes you think when you see the prices out there and how much they cost here. GULP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikeyboy Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Quick question - is it ok to use Megs NXCT detailer over NXT 180 wax ? or should io bin the NXT QD and buy some UQD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Hello Spikey, The NXT spray QD is pretty nice, i would use it up before you buy something else. There are not any negative effects of using it with XMT 180. Take a look at Pinnicle Crystal Mist too. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
