MEGUIAR'S Meguiar's G17748 Ultimate Wash & Wax, 48 oz, Yellow, 48 Ounces

Ok first off - i used to be an ASE mechanic years ago and had detail / auto body friends give me tips.. with that said i fall between a novice and intermediate on experience level with cars... but the negative reviews on here that are in regard to the performance of this - are just lost in life lol... Use - 4 cap fulls, just a few oz, literally makes a bout two buckets worth.. the first bucket is EXTRA soapy with bright white thick foam. its amazing.. i feel it in my hands and its thick and u can feel the wax in it.. the first bucket ill use for the car (2011 Ford Edge Limited 303a pckg w/ the limited edition metal flake paint job.. 2nd bucket of suds i get from the 4 cap fulls is a little diluted vs the 1st (im talking the suds are maybe 70%??) so i use that on the tires n rims and etc... Clean - bam! it blasts thru all sorts of stuff... i have hard lime based water where i live with lots of clay in the ground (Maryland).. so i fight the water quality as well as the dirt on the car is tough to get off. this stuff just is so thick n sudsy, it does an OUTSTANDING job!! Shine - I will do a once over with a california blade (its a long handle that has this 12-14'' long silicone piece (think silicone wiper blade) and just get the bulk of the water off with it.. than i go back and use my chamois.. and then microfiber for any left over water... let it dry and it shines sparkles and just jaw drops (and for the nit picky people - this is a wash and wax.... gimme a break and get a grip if you think its going to make your car shine like an actual high quality wax job!!!!!!! be realistic...) After thoughts - the BEST bang for your buck.. Bonus! - as i was driving into work i noticed the rain beaded up on my windshield and zipped right off. you know what other times this happens? when i WAX my car or use Rain X (rain x is that silicone and wax based application). out of all the wash n wax options out there (and i have used 5 diff types) NONE and i mean NONE gave this affect - as if i had just waxed my windshield. this shows and proves first hand the level of wax and quality of this wash. BUY THIS WASH AND WAX!!!!

This auto soap is a great buy! It only takes a tiny amount to suds up to a dense, powerful foam! This soap will give your car a deep clean that rids it of all dirt n grime, but also leaves your car with a nice waxy shine with minimal effort! It will take much less soap than you would think to do a complete job on your auto. I truly did not expect to get so many washes from 1 bottle! Very satisfied in price, quality and performance. Here’s my system for a spot free, clean and shiny car or truck —- I start by sudsing up a wash bucket with this bright yellow soap and wash 1/2 my car at a time, rinsing each side after brushed, then I do my roof and all windows, spray clean with hose, then I do all 4 wheels and wash off entire car 1 more time. Then dry w squeegee or large towel starting with windows then all rest of the vehicle. Final step is applying tire shine and let sit for 10 mins. Then you’re ready to hit the roads lookin great! Lil tip,,,,, I Sometimes use the towel I dry my car with to easily wipe down dash, interior and door jams before using product on it. Anyone who uses this soap will see that it’s great!

I've been using Meguiar's Gold for several years and continue to use it as it is an outstanding car wash product. I've written a review about this and how I use it. I use a local DIY car wash exclusively as I don't have a pressure washer at home. I use a "no scratch, touchless" approach to washing my car by using the Meguiar's Gold in a spray bottle. I cover the car in this Meguiar's spray, then use the pressure washer to vigorously float away all of the dirt/dust. It does an outstanding job. Now to the Ultimate Wash and Wax product, I actually use it as a second, finishing wash. First wash using Megquiar's Gold, complete the rinse. Then I use the Ultimate Wash and Wax with the same spray bottle technique. I am completely amazed at how great the car looks after I dry the car off. (I use large towels to dab off the water and do not wipe the towels across the paint.) If the DIY car wash had an electric plug near the vacuum, I would use the leaf blower (a clean one) to dry the car. But I digress, the car looks absolutely beautiful as if it had a thick coat of wax. I realize this isn't the same as waxing which I schedule yearly, but for the interim every 3 week car wash it will be just fine. Update: I've been using this method of washing my car now for 4 months now and something amazing has happened. Each was has left a layer of wax behind and the result is that a new wash leaves behind an amazing deep luster! My car is a black SUV and it looks absolutely amazing. I'm floored by how good it looks.

This car wash solution is easy to use, cleaning almost all spots off my White Tesla, and leaving it after drying with a microfiber cloth, sparkling. I believe that it's the best car wash solution for my car. I followed the Meguiar's directions explicitly, using a Meguiar's Wash Mitt and two clean 2-gallon buckets, and I feel that I'm giving my car the best care. I needed less than the recommended two capfuls per wash, probably because my car was not that dirty.

I was roaming the halls of Walmart and I saw some carwash soap in the automotive section. I thought to myself, "What idiots would pay money for this stuff... all you need is some dishwashing liquid." Well, per the Meguiar's website, you should never use dishwashing liquid to wash your car. Sure, I thought, that is whay they say so you will buy their product.... but then they gave a very good reason. Dish washing liquid is designed to remove all of the food and oil from the dishes. Well, it also removes wax from cars. Makes sense since wax is sort of oily (I guess???) Anyway, this stuff is really not expensive. You only need a little bit to add to a gallon of water, so one bottle will last you over a year (unless you actually wash your car every week like you are supposed to.) Also, it does leave your car, not only clean, but a bit "waxy" feeling. They suggest to use it for washing your car between waxings. You could just wash your car with this and skip the waxing. It would not be anywhere as good as waxing it, but if you aren't ever going to wax your car anyway, you might as well give it some protection. I also shelled out the big bucks for the Meguiar's liquid synthetic wax... and the waxing pads. You go through a fair amount of the synthetic wax liquid, so unfortunately, that won't last through that many waxings... and it is quite expensive... which makes me think that this "Wash and Wax" is all that much better of a value.

Best of the best, car looks amazing even after rain, thumbs up ! ! !

The soap suds up well, has a nice scent when using, and really brings back your wax finish. I use this 2 times a month on my vehicle. I have a sealant/polish applied to the paint/clear coat, and this soap brings the shine back, and its a deep shine. The finish feels "soft" to the touch and does not take a lot to have a bucket of suds. Meguirs products are top notch for the person who enjoys professional results without having to buy professional volumes/price.

I wash my car about once every week and half myself. I have audi a4. Luckily my neighbor owns a carwash and he waxes it professionally for me once every month or so. I use this stuff in between waxes. I use the meguiars mitts to completely soak the car in the wash. It truly keeps the wax on the car, and I have gotten numerous compliments for it. Now I will say this stuff does not do a professional wax job. It simply does not, it is a great complement after a wax job, but don't use this stuff thinking it will be just as good as a professional wax job. That simply is not the case. Use it afterwards repeatably. I asked my neighbor about it, and he told me that if you use this stuff once a week for about three months, you will eventually get a nice coat of wax to stick to the paint. It seems he was right, the wax seems to never wash away now. My car is shiny, and I mean shiny. Even if there is a layer of dirt (which you get driving around for a week or so) it is still shiny with this stuff.
