I am 65 years old. My Dad was a car restorer and old car parts dealer from 1962 to his passing in 2002. I have tried just about every kind of wax there is it seems. But I always seem to come back to a quality carnuba wax. For me it's Meguirs #26 Yellow. Some of my old cars have old paint jobs and #26 seems to cover a multitude of sins. Meaning I see less of the imperfections in the paint. I wax only once a quarter, depending on how much it is in the elements, and if there is car show coming up. But once a year, or so, I strip the wax off with Meguirs Cleaner wax #1, or something similar. I have a buffer, but I prefer to do it by hand. It helps me to see and feel all the little imperfections so I can work on those specific areas. I know it's old school but it works for me. These days I have to use someone else's hands. I have a former employee and now friend, who comes and helps me.
Makes sense. Older cars benefit from Carnuba since they lack a modern clearcoat, or cars whose clearcoat has degraded. Modern clearcoats see no real benefit from a carnuba and benefit more from a good synthetic.
Wait..im confused you said you use the meguiars cleaner wax to strip the wax off? I thought that was a wax??? I just used it to wax my cadillac...I love that stuff.
@@amandawhite3963 It's Meguirs Cleaner Wax #1. Not sure if they still sell it though. The last time I bought wax they didn't have it so I bought Mothers Pre-Wax Cleaner. Same thing. Those type of products are not usually a final coat wax. After using a cleaner wax, you should put a coat of Carnuba wax. I use Meguirs #26.
@@juanpaVlz Should be advertised then I’m with you that it needs to be set for a certain amount of hours. They put every instruction on the bottle but they don’t put the cure time Maybe you’re wrong and there is no cure time lol
Thanks for the demo. Both waxes are premium and should respond quite similarly immediately following the application. However, I might add that if you took the car through a few automatic car washes without the added wax, then try the water test and look at the results. This is where the Ultimate results should shine.
Carnuba is great stuff, just somewhat pointless for modern clearcoats. Carnuba's are the best around for olders cars, or cars whos clearcoat has degraded.
@@junkiexl86 I wouldn't say Carnauba is pointless. It does provide a warmer and deeper gleam or shine on modern clearcoats than the Synthetic. I have used both gold class and Ultimate on my car and looks are quite different.
The ultimate has more of a wet shiny look, the gold has a richer look. I prefer the Gold. Who cares about how the water beads bro? It's about the look.
the main difference between the two is that one is a synthetic wax and the other is a carnauba wax -the synthetic wax will last longer and you will need to apply it less often. which is probably why it cost more, because a can will last you longer. -the carnauba wax is a natural wax and will wash off quicker then lets say a synthetic wax. Which is why its cost less, because you'll have to buy more of it sooner then a synthetic wax. as for the performance of the two ill say they are about if not the same, with the exception of the carnauba wax giving your a paint more of a deep gloss or "wet" look. which is why a lot of people use carnauba wax before a show.
You're reading the label which is the first mistake. Then you believe what's on the label. 2nd mistake. Both products are crap and not needed. Both contain Petroleum Distillates as their main ingredient according to the MSDS. Gold Class Paste Car Wax has Naphtha (petroleum), silicones, and Petroleum Distillates and not one atom of carnuaba wax according to the MSDS. Too many people have bought into the "professional detailer line" of shit that these companies smear all over the place. Mothers liquid wax has the highest concentration of wax. Put 3 oz. into a bottle and 27 oz. of distilled water. Use Purple Power Vehicle and Boat Wash to decontaminate your vehicle and this spray wax after each cleaning (I didn't say wash). You car is now 100% clean and free of road film and has a great layer of wax that can last 4 - 6 weeks. Clean you car every 2 weeks or when needed and use your Mothers homemade spray wax. Nothing else will ever be needed. You can make a gallon of perfect wax for $7.

I notice the biggest difference near the top of the hood. The Gold takes noticeably longer to gather enough water together to cause it to slide off. That means in real world conditions you'll have more standing water for longer, which in turn means as it dries it leaves water spots and dirt.
I’ve used all 3. Cleaner wax, gold class, and ultimate. The cleaner wax leaves the best finish to me because it has some polishing agents that smooth out small imperfections in the paint. It only lasts around 1-2 months though, not nearly as long as the ultimate.
You should made tests after 60 days and some washes.... I´ve tried Meguiars Ultimate and Collinite 476. For me, Collinite lasts 4~5 months very easy, even with 2 car wash a month. Go with carnauba, you won´t be wrong...
I put 1 thin coat of the gold class carnauba wax, let it cure for 12 hrs. Put another thin coat of gold class, 12 hours later I put on Ultimate Fast Finish. I am a farmer, my Ford Raptor is very clean and protected.
Thanks for the demo. Appreciate it much. To my eyes there are no significant difference between the two, therefore I’d prefer the carnauba wax. Yes synthetic maybe better with its polymers but to an average Joe, like myself, both shines and repels water/dirt equally.
I've been Using the Ultimate on all my cars, They are 2 black cars and 2 gray/silver, and I have to admit it's the easiest product to apply and remove. Other waxes seem to be tough to take off, but not this. I don't care about beading, I like how the ultimate lasts and stands up against the weather. But to be fair, I've never used their new Gold product.
Ultimate is synthetic less shine but last longer better for a daily driver. The gold is natural carnauba more shine doesnt last as long better for a show car. Both are great great products.
LOL. I would call those beans to tho forreal. Those are some big beads!!! They have amazing stuff that repels water in the littlest droplets, if that's what your looking for.
The Gold Class is definitely not beading like a good Carnauba Wax and I suspect it's the Plus which is the chemical synthetic element added to it which is compromising the results. Thanks so much for the test. I'd recommend Zymol as the premier Carnauba cleaner wax whose formula has stayed the same for over 20 years. It's also all natural in its ingredients. However, i still need to find just a good inexpensive Carnauba wax with no cleaner added. Zymol is too expensive if you buy it as just a carnauba wax only. I'm not sure there's really a quality Carnauba wax with no additive out there which isn't overly priced since they all seem to be hybrids like the Gold Class version.
I'd if any one else notice but if you pay attention in the different angels the ultimate has more of a wet look and the gold glass has like a richer shine if you understand what I mean?
Yea it doesnt matter and many retailers do videos about it not mattering. You've got no abrasive in the wax or on the pad (hopefully) so it makes no difference, you're not a rotary buffer. Its personal preference.
I've been using these two products for 3 years, they both do the awesome job, but the Ultimate paste wax smell better and I think it lasts longer than the Gold. You get what you pay, right?!?
Hey I watched both videos of your Maguire Ultimate Wax and Simoniz wax, have you compared those 2? and Which do you find to be better? I'm contemplating to buy between the two.
That's good info, thanks.! It's the end of april in NJ,2O21. I have a black Benz, and every morning if I dont have my car covered its, covered in pollen. I going to try the meguiars ultimate wax and see if it helps. If not I'll just keep dusting it off !!
I don't think you can really do a fair test without letting it cure at least 12-24 hours, especially since the Ultimate Paste Wax is mostly synthetic polymers.
I have purchased same wax from online store but the same seems to be like melted.. Don't know what's wrong it.. Plz let me know if anyone had similar issue.
Can you tell me which one is the more wet look deep shine? Like from new garage? For tropical climate. Cos i still use ultimate quik wax but almost empty
Its a tough sell at twice the cost or more even if it is better. I've found if you wax often it wont really matter as long as youre using good waxes which All the waxes by Meguiars and even Mothers are
OK i haven't tried this one i did use up a couple of cans of Mothers Gold Synthetic Paste at about 12-13 dollars and really liked it. I have been thinking about trying this one. Thnks
High Mile Garage that’s awesome do u recommended a specific type of wax that could be better for the headlights like synthetic or...??? Also do u wipe it out after you have put the wax or do u just leave it on the headlight. Thank yoy
It looks the same. You can't tell the difference. The different in beads doesn't mean much and there was not much of a difference anyways. A real test would be to check it out in 30 days and 60 days to see how it is holding up.

@@muhammadaswin8016 You’ll probably fine for darker coloured cars the ultimate has a slight edge. Ultimate will also last longer (especially in hotter climates). But these differences are minimal, they are both very good waxes. Just make sure the paint is as clean as it can be before applying and you only need a small amount. Applying too much wax means it won’t cure, a thin layer is all you need. You can use the detailed as a drying aid or for maintenance .
Professional Automotive Detailing So what it's older. Will ultimate be on the market as long or will the replace it like the Tech Wax 2.0. #26 lasts 6 months ... that's all you need.
PLEASE NO! Don't wash anything with dish soap other than dishes. Meguiar's Wash Plus should remove much of, if not all, the old wax and really does a good job of cleaning your car. Chem. Guys makes another product that supposedly cleans wax off but I haven't used it. I'm sure there are other products. It astounds me that so many basically allege that breathing on the car will scratch the paint but blindly follow the idea that using a product designed for another purpose is fine. Will dish soap mar your paint? I don't know but why take the chance when there are better products out there. It certainly doesn't help.
I use the Ultimate on my '17 Cruze, great stuff. Though I let it cure for 24 hours before buffing it off. Curious how this stuff compares to their Tech Wax 2.0 Paste? I was using the liquid Tech Wax 2 and the crap would be gone after 2 rainstorms, regardless of the thickness of application.

Thanks for watching! The ultimate paste lasts longer in the end. You will easily get 3 months of protection. And if you take care of it you can get 6 months
I am 53 years old have owned and maintained beautiful looking cars all my life and have never been instructed to apply anything in that manner. CIRCULAR MOTIONS for application and removal.
thegoldenboy294 you only really need to apply in a circular motion if you’re using a “cleaning wax” which you’d normally use if you haven’t clay bar’d your car in a while. Other than that if you’ve clay bar’d you car there’s really not point in circular motion it’s all preference

the beading look bout the same to me

why are u waxing a rental car?

How would you compare these to the new spray on waxes like the meguiar's hybrid ceramic wax or the turtle wax spray and shine?
Acually think the right hand side is more hydraphobic.. youll find water 'sticking' in small beads with the ultimate.
whats good about synthetic waxes is that they dont attract dust like carnuba waxes do. i live in texas so i always go for the synthetic waxes

Isnt the ultimate wax actually a sealant?
Yes! That's why it does say paste wax.. it just says paste
In my experience, the carnubra waxes are the most durable ,,,,
Synthetic will normally be more durable. Carnauba wax will normally have a slightly warmer shine to it but not last as long.
@@DavidStillman78 buddy, if i finish the gold class wax with th sonax brilliant detailer, is it good? In Indonesia, the weather is si fluctuative dan extreme, it's a trophycal country,
@@muhammadaswin8016 You’ll probably fine for darker coloured cars the ultimate has a slight edge. Ultimate will also last longer (especially in hotter climates). But these differences are minimal, they are both very good waxes. Just make sure the paint is as clean as it can be before applying and you only need a small amount. Applying too much wax means it won’t cure, a thin layer is all you need. You can use the detailed as a drying aid or for maintenance .
@@DavidStillman78 very informative brother, hopefully you always healthy,and i'm your friend
How long does each one last ?
Ultimate 4/5 months and the gold class a month. Wax is not worth it anymore
La cera no esta bien aplicada.
you went with ultimate based on beans....
Yes
Go Meguiars #26 Mirror Glaze Hi-tech Yellow Wax. .... is Best!
Michael C. It is good! But the ultimate has better hydrophobic properties
Professional Automotive Detailing The Ultimate hydroponic properties did not impress me.
Only it's ability to apply in direct sunlight.
Michael C. It also last longer. Meguiar's m26 is just an older formula at this point
Professional Automotive Detailing So what it's older. Will ultimate be on the market as long or will the replace it like the Tech Wax 2.0. #26 lasts 6 months ... that's all you need.
That moment you get shut down. lol
how do you remove old wax? just applying the pharmacy alcohol?
Bloated Tony Danza Isopropyl alcohol I bought mine online though. 50/50 with water
Professional Automotive Detailing thanks for the reply dude.
wash it with dish soap to remove all grease. then wash it with shampoo and then wax it.
PLEASE NO! Don't wash anything with dish soap other than dishes. Meguiar's Wash Plus should remove much of, if not all, the old wax and really does a good job of cleaning your car. Chem. Guys makes another product that supposedly cleans wax off but I haven't used it. I'm sure there are other products. It astounds me that so many basically allege that breathing on the car will scratch the paint but blindly follow the idea that using a product designed for another purpose is fine. Will dish soap mar your paint? I don't know but why take the chance when there are better products out there. It certainly doesn't help.
Dawn is perfectly fine for removing wax
they look bout the same
detailer king he has horrible reviews. ive witnessed one in person. Totally biased
I use the Ultimate on my '17 Cruze, great stuff. Though I let it cure for 24 hours before buffing it off. Curious how this stuff compares to their Tech Wax 2.0 Paste? I was using the liquid Tech Wax 2 and the crap would be gone after 2 rainstorms, regardless of the thickness of application.
Have not tried tech wax 2.0. love the ultimate... New favorite is the hybrid ceramic wax from meguiars... Will make a video of that soon
If it smells like Elmer's paste, I'll take two, one for the car and one for lunch.
Lol
Update: I've been using Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax for 3 years. Holy cow, it is THE best I've ever used. Turtle Wax is a close second.
What's better?
Ultimate
Hi Buddy,
My Name Is Vivek Bharti From Punjab In India
I Bought A New White Colour Car 6 months Ago With My Hard Earned Money.
And I Have Seen A Lot Of Video's On RUclips Related Carnuba Waxes To Protect The Paint Of My Car, Every Company Says That Their Product Is Good.
Please Suggest Me Which Carnuba Wax Will Be Best For Car Paint protection so that the car paint remains safe for a long time ?
Because It's Very Valuable For Me.
Please Suggest Can I Go With
1) Meguiar Ultimate Liquid Wax
2) Meguiar Ultimate Paste Wax
3) Turtle Super Hard Shell Wax
4) Turtle Ceramic Graphene
5) Meguiar Mirror Glaze 26
Or is there someone better than these
I Have A Lot Of Faith On You.
Thanks In Advance
Number 5 is going to be the besr
Dope review bro. I know what i want know. Thank you
Good video
not diference....
If u do it once a month ur good to go
good video buddy
The differences are so minimal. And for the difference in price, ultimate isn’t worth it.
No that is not true. The ultimate lasts way longer
Professional Automotive Detailing I enjoy detailing my car. So I wax once a week anyway. Clay bar once a quarter. And polish once a year.
Steve Protoss why do you clay you car so much? Is kept outside all the time?
i mean its been repeated over and over in the comments but again.....one lasts much longer than the other.
You supposed to use circular motion
Leslie Ramos striaght lines so if something gets on the applicator pad the scratch will be easier to remove
Professional Automotive Detailing That is a car detailer's secret
hard to tell a differance
Thanks for watching! The ultimate paste lasts longer in the end. You will easily get 3 months of protection. And if you take care of it you can get 6 months
Love the commenters that attack the products from Meguires with unbased claims then immediately pitches a competing product. lol
It’s all the same just some are easier to use
Turtle vs Mequiar which is better
Real Steel Meguiars
Professional Automotive Detailing Thank you
Wax your car, leave it in the shed for a week then buff it off - you'll be amazed
Leave it on?
Lol no. Just no.
My observations is just the opposite. 😄😄
I am 53 years old have owned and maintained beautiful looking cars all my life and have never been instructed to apply anything in that manner. CIRCULAR MOTIONS for application and removal.
wax on, wax off
aren't you supposed to apply the wax in circular motion?
thegoldenboy294 I do recommend it. because if any dirt gets on the surface you make it harder to remove the scratchs later.
thegoldenboy294 you only really need to apply in a circular motion if you’re using a “cleaning wax” which you’d normally use if you haven’t clay bar’d your car in a while. Other than that if you’ve clay bar’d you car there’s really not point in circular motion it’s all preference
I Agree!!! Thanks for watching
No diference what so ever and the right one looks beter to me
