Default Turtle Wax Platinum Series 'Ultra Gloss'

I just bought a new product by turtle wax called ultra gloss. Tried it out, and the results were quite amazing. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has tried this yet?

Here are some pics of a simple power wash, dry and waxing with the ultra gloss...

I applied the same stuff last weekend on my car. I was amazed with how easy it went on and off. And the shine was pretty good. Hopefully it will last longer than NXT

Lets just say i work at Autozone (yes i know its gay but im 19 and need something to support my habbit) but anyways i have tried most to all waxes that we carry and the turtle wax ultra is prolly the easiest to put on and take off. This is one of the better of all the others but im only comparing to a couple up there such as the meguires gold series wax and the nxt wax. I have stuck to the turtle wax as of now tell i can afford some zanio just to see how that works and feels. O and by the way i waxed my car almost a month ago and still feels good and looks even better so im happy, but also after you wax the car use the turtle polish in the green tall bottle works awsome but hard to get off but well well worth the results.

Like i said ive tried it all but i like the detailer and it worked better than the paste i think but its more or less the same but the paste is alot harder to put on and take off.

Wax gets better than this?!

I just decided to do a stripping and waxing today.....it was actually 4 weeks ago that those pics were taken....lasted all the way till today! I'm very impressed with the durability this wax has.

What I did today, was to mix a strong concentration of dawn dish soap with water, and hand washed several times to insure all the previous wax was removed.....then I clayed needed areas, dried to a decent non-wax shine...ate lunch, then spent the next 2 hours applying, removing and buffing the ultra gloss.......

THE RESULTS WERE BETTER THAN BEFORE!

I will have pictures up here pretty soon.....stayed tuned!

Y2kforgedSS,
I did everything that I mentioned above, including using the turtle wax ultra gloss. I'm very happy with the results, I'm hoping it lasts a little while, that'll be great!

If anyone else has used this stuff, post it so we can check it out!
