Dean's TakeDean's PickFeb 28, 2026

I don't think I can express how good a product Ultimate Quik Wax actually is. I know it's a little bit crazy to consider any Meguiar's product a hidden gem, but this is an absolute diamond! Ultimate Quik Wax is one of my favorite products to apply after a maintenance wash. It adds a deep, wet look far beyond anything you'd expect from something this easy to apply. Seriously, I love it. I wash my car just so I get to use it again.

Expert Analysis

This spray wax combines traditional carnauba wax with synthetic polymer technology to deliver both immediate shine and extended water repellency. The near-neutral pH (6.8) and non-whitening formulation allow for flexible application conditions, including direct sunlight. The hydrophobic polymer component provides the water beading durability that extends beyond typical carnauba-only formulations.

Key Differentiators

  • Full-sun application capability with non-whitening formula reduces application restrictions
  • Hybrid approach combining carnauba wax shine with synthetic polymer durability

Potential Concerns

  • Spray application may result in less uniform coverage compared to traditional liquid or paste waxes
  • Durability may be limited compared to dedicated synthetic sealants despite polymer enhancement
