Gets bugs off easier. Seems to keep stuff from sticking after. At least that was my first impression. Tried it out on my 03 Focus. It's old but only has 20k miles on it. Has been garaged. And the paint is in great shape. So not sure about less perfect finishes.

Looks great!!!

I just reordered more Chadwick's so..... I'd certainly like to try this stuff though to compare for myself. With 3 vehicles and doing a little detailing in the side, it wouldn't hurt to have another go to product.

Very good question...I've used both....the "Quick Detailer" is more for cleaning and the "Wash and Wax" product is a cleaner with a wax. I'm not a detailer, I'm a Financial Advisor.

Just tried the Meguiars Ultimate Waterless Wash & Wax. I have to say...WOW Im impressed. Im an old school kind of guy where I actually wash the car then wax it...which normally takes me 3 to 4 hours.

I started the Waterless Wash & Wax process at 10:15AM and by 10:45AM I was done with the entire car, glass and chrome rims...and it looks fantastic...and super smooth to the touch. Now my car was only "round the block" dirty - meaning, it had some dirt and dust from a few trips around town - so definitely not truly "dirty"...but I will say, that the micro-fiber towel I used is now filthy...so it certainly does pull the dirt off the car.

Its $7.42 at Amazon and gets TWO THUMBS UP from me...
I also used it

Here are the differences between the two products... The 5 Steps according to Meguiar's: 1) Wash, 2) Clean/Prep, 3) Polish, 4) Wax/Protect, 5) Maintain

Ultimate Waterless Wash & Wax:
  • Cleans Surface Dirt
  • Adds a Level of Gloss
  • Will Not Damage Clear Coat
  • Use for the "Wash" Process (Step 1)
  • Use for the "Wax/Protect" Process (Step 4)

Ultimate Quick Detailer:
  • Removes Surface Contaminants between Washes
  • Hydrophobic Polymer Technology darkens finish
  • Adds protection and promotes water beading
  • Use for the "Maintain" Process (Step 5)

I have used the Kwik Detailer and Meguiars Ultimate liquid wax and have been very happy with both, esp. the Ulitmate liquid wax. I will be trying the waterless wash and wax this weekend. I can't believe the price -- $7.42 shipped to my door from Amazon.

I think their Ultimate line of products is pretty good stuff.

I am a Chadwicks user, but I am going to give this a try on my daily driver. At less than $8.00 a bottle it is worth a shot.

I was a Chadwicks user. Meguiers works the same or better in my opinion..

They must have figured out they were selling it too cheap. Today I stopped at Walmart and it was $11 a bottle. Just last month it was $8. Started using it in the spring because I was getting low on Chadwicks and I am going to stick with it. Good product.

Although the $7.42 Amazon price is great. I just wait until Walmart has in on sale for $8.00. Otherwise it's $10.97 I believe.

As for the product? IMO, it is very good and I use it a lot. Keeps a detailed car looking very nice for sometime. Oh, and my wife likes the way the garage smells after I've used it on her car.

I bought it at Amazon for $8 with free shipping last spring. It is no longer that cheap there either. Check your Amazon. Closer to $15

I hate having 'too many' waxes/car polishes, and have given away nearly full containers because I found something better. I recently got rid of some Surf City and Adam's products because I found AEROLON, which has a 'wax' that you apply to a just washed, wet car, and it works great. I then bought their polish/wax, which is also very nice. However, I recently attended a paint car seminar and learned about Meguiar's Synthetic Detailer #156. After some friend's testimonials, a few of us bought a few gallons and divided it up. I'm very impressed. It comes from the Pro line. On the occasion of my 70 th birthday, (today) my brother who is constantly trying waxes, sent me a bottle of Collinite, which is now my #1 for 'regular' wax application. Pewter is not the easiest color to attract attention, but I've gotten lots of complements. So I now have my 'final' process in place....for awhile. I highly recommend #156
