Meg's Ultimate liquid wax; good stuff or??

[Vikas]

Between that 9 months, the car was hosed down *once* ! It is amazing stuff if you can get your hands on it. I have heard that it is only discontinued in US and still available abroad, including Canada.

Now it is certainly possible that M16 and Collinite are very similar in terms of its ability to stick around but I have no personal experience with Collinite.

I hope you can see the pictures

M16 waxed on 09/2009; still beads water as of 06/2010

Nicely Hydrophobic!

I have tried many, if not all of Meg's finishing products and I don't have to compare them to anything to know I don't like them. NONE of them last very long, and few of them look good. Heck, one of them I used looked like I was smearing cooking oil on the paint (I think it was the NXT). I like their polishes, such as Ultimate Compound and Scratch-X, but their finishing waxes suck. I would take ANY Collinite, Duragloss, or Zaino finishing wax over any of that of the Meg's stuff.

Was this in a reddish colored tin, or was it a yellow-gold can like the #26??

What color was the product itself, and was it priced like the 26???

Not sure about the price but it was a blue and black tin. Part of their mirror glaze series.

I do agree that none of their latest products (NXT, Ultimate) last. They may be easy to use, but you give up durability. The old school Meguires like #26 are still, to this day, better than these new gimmick waxes they are selling. Me, personally, I use Griots Garage and am very happy.

I'd like to see how long Rejex holds up compared to some of the other long lasting waxes/polishes/sealants.

Inside contents are light blue paste. It is not as hard as some of the other old time waxes.

Unfortunately, currently even google does not have a single link under shopping for that wax. I thought you could find it outside US but google is telling me otherwise.

OK, THANKS, now I remember it!!
But I always thought/was told that the #26 was a better/more durable product than that stuff, probably why I never even thought to try it.
