    As one of those wierd 'detailing nerds' I can confirm, this wash is very easy to use, doesnt leave spots easily, and certainly seems to extend the life (repair) your current "real" coat of wax, just fine.

    It also snow foams above average (since wax usually knocks down the suds).

    • You use this with a snow gun?

      • I use this and the gold wash in the gerni car wash snow gun and it works really well.

        • +1

          I have the gold class one as well that I use with the spray gun, but wasn't sure this one could be used with gerni as well

            @horus85: I've used both this and the Gold Class, with a high pressure washer.

            I still have this left, but I prefer the Gold Class.

            Gold Class smells nice too 😊

            • +2

              @whyisave: The Gold Class foams up better in the high pressure gun. Both smell good but the Ultimate smells sweeter.
              Use the Gold Class first, rinse and then apply the Ultimate.

            @horus85: You can generally use any car soap in a foam gun between 8:1 to 10:1. Performance will vary

    The best i have ever used

  • SuperCheap will price beat this as well

    I honestly don't know the difference I have this beautiful smelling one from supercheap auto pink coloured, probably was $10. My car is ceramic coated but works perfectly on it what is this price discrimination (searched it, SCA concentrate for $10)

    • +1

      Makes sense price wise as the SCA branded product cuts out the middleman that comes with the Meguires product.

      • Oh me today learning SCA stands for super cheap auto..

  • +6

    Cheaper on ebay with current coupon code. Even cheaper if using GC to pay on top.

    • link and code?

      • +3

        Code is OCTSAV15
        Seller is sparesbox_auto

        • $23.69 supercheap via chat.

        • +1

          Thanks, managed to price beat at SuperCheap from the ebay site with the promo code, 23.69.
          Also have 10% GC via work so this will come down to 21.32

        • Paid $22 two years ago at Sparesbox eBay. Very good product in a gun or bucket.

    • Thanks champ, ordered one from eBay

  • Can this used with a foam gun?

    • It can, I've used it. foams well for a thicker soap. Just make sure you run clean water through the foam canon after using it. If it dried in there it could cause blockage of the filter.

  • Does anyone know how this one compares to the Chemical Guys Sticky Snowball Ultra Snow Foam one that was posted earlier (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/871821)?

  • So expensive, it looks like they increased a lot then discount the price. I bought 2 of them 3 years ago for $14 each during the Covid. These are very good products. You don't need to use much for a car. I usually clean the car once a month and haven't used half of 1st bottle. You save a lot when using this one because they are concentrated.

  • +1

    I tried washing my car with this and it still doesn't look like the one of the bottle.

    • The one on the bottle is a High Investment Yield vehicle.

    A good wash for those that are too keen to apply wax/sealant/coatings but price has increased over the years. I would avoid if car is proected unless it is approaching end of life.

    There is better options but never have complaints with Meguiars. This has a 128:1 ratio putting it above $2/wash is using 15L of water.

    CarPro Reset (400:1) is a fair superior option at a similar price per wash. NV Snow (200:1) is a great option too but value not as good unless buying 4L. Snow is by far the best foamer of all three.

    This is my opinion but my ultimate recommendation is to find something you like and use it often.

      This guy washes cars! Appreciate the data and breakdown.

      What's your opinion on Geyon Bathe/Bathe+?
      My car is ceramic coated with Gtechnic CSL and been using Meguirs Gold Class for foam and C2V3 as a topper. Wanted to switch to Geyon Bathe+ and ExoV5.

      • Geyon and Gtechnic are a couple of brands I have never used. Given what I have read on forums and watched on YT, Bathe is a quality product (but/and so is Gold). I believe Bathe isn't very foamy but it makes this up in slickness. I could only suggest giving it a go, you have Gold on hand which is a great baseline comparison.

    • +1

      What would you recommend for general car care? (I.e. coat, wash products w/frequency etc)

      • +1

        So many options and opinions but trying to keep it simple hard to argue against:
        Wash - CarPro Reset but NV Snow foams better (but is pricer)
        Spray coating - CarPro Reload (great intro to coatings) or HydrO2 Concentrate for ease of use. I need to use this more often or alternative brands. Great for those hard to reach areas like wheels and arches or just for its easy apply rinse off application
        Wheel cleaner - NV Purge (when really dirty) or if keep them clean you car soap will just do fine.

        Wash as often as needed.
        Protect every 1-2 months but durability can vary depending on product used. I think it is important to find something you like and you will be inclined to keep on top of protection.

        One of the best YT reviewers is Sandro from Car Craft Detailing. Gives great breakdowns and being Australian, you know you can find these products locally.

  • Same chemical makeup as the one from reject shop

  • Hmm, this, or Bowdens Nanolicious?

    • +1

      There is little difference, both work well so go with whichever is discounted.

  • So you use this to clean the car, then once cleaned it also have a coat of polish on the car once dry so less dirt will be on the car? How often do you use this? Every month? Every 6 months?

    • This is just a car shampoo that leaves surfactants behind to create a great gloss and slickness. Gold or another shampoo that leaves nothing behind would be better if going to polish. I prefer to use an alkaline shampoo if going to polish/protect but this is not necessary for the weekender

    • Yes, this is a wash with some "wax" (actually a combo of carnauba and a synthetic sealant) in it.

      Ideally you would have deep cleaned and "polished" your car with a sealant before using this. You then wash and top up your sealant with the Ultimate until your next BIG clean/polish. If the paint isn't hydrophobic (water is sheeting rather than beading off quickly) after using it then you really should be doing the big clean and re-applying your sealant.

      How often should you wash your car? Too many variables to say. Is your vehicle usually garaged? What's the local environment/weather been like? City pollution or country driving? Does your car regularly get bird droppings or tree sap on it? Does the car have a professional ceramic coating or a meticulous ethusiast's sealant applied? How much time do you have? Do you obsess over your car being shiny? Etc……

      • +1

        ok thanks for that. I have an old VW so as long as its clean I am happy to be honest. Shiny or not really isnt too important to me

        • Fair enough. A good wash, then polish with a synthetic sealant will help keep it clean and make washing easier.

  • +1

    If you don't use it for awhile the bottle explodes. Good news is that it smells OK.

  • Is this compatible with ceramic coating?if not what is best option. Tia

  • Is this the creamy wash?
