Rick has it for $9 each so two for $14 is a good price. I haven't used mine yet to comment on whether or not I like it. I'm not a big QD kind of person. I only use it after a wash to help dry usually. In cases of light dust I will occasionally use it but no very often.

I really like UQD. How I use it is after i wash and dry the vehicle, I wipe it down with UQD. I think it gives a "just waxed" look, at least for just a little while.

I sure hope I don't hurt anyones feelings, but I think that stuff is terrible.

There are many QD's better


Megs 34, Optimum IDGE, PB QD+....etc

Just my opinion, take it for what's its worth.

i use it when i clay, it goes quick. then again you can use soap and water when you clay, or so ive heard. i dont use it hardly as a wash substitute. i just always wash and rewax.

In what sense? I think UQD is only average for cleaning, but I think it certainly adds a discernable amount of depth and gloss to a clean vehicle. I use it or UQW after a wash and I can tell a difference.

I will agree though, as a normal quick detailer it is lacking.

Meguiar's does not recommend using UQD as clay lube. Not only is not cost effective, I don't think the formula is intended for that use.

Get a gallon of Last Touch and dilute it 1:1 and use that. Cheaper, and better for clay lube.

UQD is designed to be used after washing when your LSP is NXT 2.0, because it boosts the polymers. Other than that, its not even close to being cost effective. The standard QD is better as a clay lube.

I'm with Rock on this as well, I actually prefer Quik Detailer over it.

That's probably because you are too fussy to use only NXT as your LSP.

Lol. I do have #34 which I also use. Since I'm fairly new to this I would like to stick with what I'm familar with and with what works for me right now until I get better at it. I do have a wheel Sealant from Poorboy's, does that count, lol?

Using UQD on NXT is almost like using a spray wax. I dunno why they call it a quick detailer, because it really isn't.

I'm with the ones that dislike it. I've tried it a couple times. My $0.02 is, it's expensive, doesn't work any better than others (worse in many cases), and my biggest problem is it STINKS to high heaven. And that coming from a self proclaimed Meg's fanboy.
