As I flip through the latest edition of Road & Track, I come across an ad for Meguiars® Ultimate Quik Detailer®. Ultimate. As in better than regular Quik Detailer. I already use Meguiar’s products, so my curiosity was piqued.
I use Quik Detailer after every wash to take care of any places I may have missed. I also use it as a “lubricant” when I clean my paint with a clay bar…once a year. Well, there were two phrases that stood out in the ad (pay attention marketing researchers). The product was described as using “Hydrophobic Polymer Technology“, and they suggest that the “water beads like crazy“. Scared of water? I had to see this for myself.
I ventured off to the nearest auto parts store in search of this uber spray-on detailer. No dice. I went to 3 other stores…with no avail. It took almost 2 weeks before it surfaced in the stores. Last weekend, I applied it for the first time. I almost sprayed my car down to see the super beading action, but I refrained. This weekend when I pre-rinsed my car, I witnessed that which should not be seen by car detailers…or anyone.
Keep in mind that it was time to apply wax to my car. Water did not bead like this before I applied the Ultimate Quik Detailer. I was amazed. Right now, the gale force winds and rain from Tropical Depression Erin are putting the ultimate test on this ultimate detailer. So far, the stuff works. More beads than at Mardi Gras. I highly recommend you try this stuff.

More beads than at Mardi Gras. Sweet. Where did you find it in the end?

I found it at an Advanced Auto Parts. They had it at the end of the aisle…not next to the regular Quik Detailer.

Good question. Click on the “Ultimate Quik Detailer” link in the post above. I think there’s a function that allows yo uto search for the nearest location.

I’ve been bad about washing my car lately. For awhile I had a great water-less wash product that saved a ton of time when the car wasn’t too dirty.
