detaildoc Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 I ordered the full line of Ultima Products (minus the Elastrofoam Paint Cleaner) from autopia.org. I have to tell you, I love this line, it is incredible. The Paint Guard Wash is amazing, the Paint Prep Plus is easy to apply and to buff off and it left my car swirl free (I applied it with my UDM and the orange pad). The Paint Guard Plus is incredibly easy to apply and it did not streak at all (I applied 3 light coats 12 hours apart). It also brought out the flakes on my paint like I had never seen before. The interior shampoo works great, it left my car really clean with a really clean and fresh scent. The Interior Guard Plus is also amazing and it left the leather seats feeling incredibly silky smooth and soft. Ultima actually brought back the new car scent. The Tire and Trim Guard Plus is also great, it left a nice dark satin finish without all the extreme gloss of other products, which I personally don't like. I also used the Tire and Trim Guard on my chrome door handles and grill, which added an amazing shine. Until now, I had been using Meguiars NTX Generation Tech wax (liquid). Meguiars left a nice wet look, by completely changed the look of the paint, turning it almost black. My car is a dark silver (Smoky Granite Mica) with lots of flakes.
F4DPhan Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Just wondering if anyone else has used these products and can comment on them (Steve?)....am interested in trying them, but would appreciate some feedback. ...it looks promising, and am currently using the Klasse approach, but always looking for something better. Thank. Mike
SW03ES Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I have them but haven't had a chance to try them yet.
mburnickas Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I got them to work. Problem is most black cars look good after waxing. come back in 3 months and post how durability and longevity are. Keep us up to date. Looks good though
mburnickas Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 okay, dark color cars always look good....is that better now?
SW03ES Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Especially in pictures they always look good. We'll know more once I get around to using the Ultima.
F4DPhan Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Steve et al, Well, I broke down and ordered a starter kit; hope to get it later this coming week and am anxious to see how it compares to my current Klasse/Pinnacle wax system .... I'll keep all informed, and try to attach some photos of my 2006 Pearl Black IS 250....DC winter has not been so bad so far, but cold...... Mike
JGTNewLexusOwner Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 F4DPhan, please let me know how they compare. When the spring comes, I was between the Ultima and Pinnacle systems when I do my first detailing on my black, um, I mean Obsidian ES350 (2008)! Detaildoc, GREAT PICS!!! Thanks. With all the advice you have provided to me on the other post (Cleaning and Maintenance of the ES350), you show how good you really are at this detailing stuff!!! Thanks again for the pics and advice!
JGTNewLexusOwner Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I was remiss in my last posting in thanking SW03ES also! You and detaildoc have been extremely helpful!!! Thanks again!
