Buy any good waterless or rinsless wash and dilute it to the proper detailing mixture. Pennies per bottle compared to $20 per bottle which is a waste of money. Wolfgang uber is my favorite.

Wish I had discovered this earlier, would have saved me a lot of time and effort, especially post waxing.

As happy as I am with this product, I'm really curious about the Wolfgang products, will probably try them next.

Can be diluted 1:1, I use it full strength.

Surprisingly, it's still $22/gallon, which is what I paid in 2019.

I think you will not buy the Meguiar’s again if you try WUR

Is it Wolfgang Uber Rinseless diluted to Detail Spray ????

Both of you guys have been around here long enough. Why did I use abbreviations. I’m old and value what little time I have left. Well minus the 5 minutes to write this out. Thanks

I've been using Expel Ceramic Boost on my car. I ceramic coated my car and use this as a topper. I have 2 small spots on my car that I had to buff off high spots and did not re-apply my ceramic coating. The Expel product lasts a good 3 months with mutliple washings and when applied, I can not tell where the spots are that are not ceramic coated. Once it starts to wear off I can see them again as the rest of the car still beads water while washing.

It's pretty easy to apply and buff off and lasts a good long time for a topper.

Better off having someone else / pay someone else to detail your car for you if you value what time you have left. For me I will soon consider this since I have ailments/pain. But before I pay someone else to detail I need to use up the products that I have already accumulated over time. It would be too much wasted $$$ to throw away the products I have not used up before doing this.

Someone else detail my car? I think not. I ain’t dead. And if I have to wait to use up all I have, well I’m living to over 100 Ha.

I like the Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic spray on. Can use on all surfaces, glass and black plastics works great easy on and off

I believe Costco carries the Meguire's car wash product to this.

I have used many Jax Wax products. I would put them on par with Adam's Polishes as far as ease of use and performance goes. My C5Z is protected with carnauba wax, so I occasionally use Jax Wax "Hawaiian Shine" spray wax to keep it slick between washes. Their "Body Shine" is a good detail spray that is pretty affordable. I am a big fan of their "Graphene Pro 10H" ceramic coating, which has been one of my go-to coatings I use on customer's vehicles.
