Looks shiny. Good job. Did you wax before applying?

The car had been de-swirled, waxed and sealed about 6 weeks ago. I have only washed it since, but wanted it to "pop" a bit more....

The handling is incredible, like its on rails. An R32 couldn't keep with me through some twisty stuff and I do think he was trying.
The downside is the rough ride. It is very bumpy. Not sure if I want to live with it as a daily driver to be honest. Might go for ACS instead.

I tend to use Sonax through winter months, and then switch to something more blingy for the better weather.
Megiuars make some great products that are so easy to use

Is that a matte finish? I used to use Autoglym vinyl cleaner, but it kept making everything shiny, which I hate....

Been using it for a few years now and it's good stuff. The spray on tyre dressing is also excellent.

I rate the interior detailed too from Meguiars, but I must admit I always reach for the Sonax Cockpit cleaner. Really cleans well and leaves a lovely matte Original appearance. Can be had really cheaply from ECP too when they do one of their inevitable DFS style promo codes.

Qwik Detailer is relegated to clay lube duties now. IMHO Sonax BSD is better in every respect as a sealant top up.

Its a great product use it all the time after each wash means only have to wax twice a year max. Combine it it with good snowfoam, wax shampoo and rinse agent and keeps car shiny all year around

I'm sure Meguiars was mentioned as a cause of creaking door rubbers? (Or one of the products that may cause it)

I know of one person who had problems after using Meguiars, but how is everyone else getting on with it?

When I went OCD last summer I was getting through a bottle of this every few weeks. It is great stuff but there are some great alternatives if not better. Autoglym rapid detailer... mixing a little Optimum No Rinse with water... and the best of the best? Sonax detailer!!! It's a faint turbid blue liquid but by God it destroys the competition!

Just noticed that Dave is using Ultimate Quik Detailer in a svelte new black bottle. I wonder if the formulation is different/better than the regular QD that Meguiars ship with the clay bar kits or if it is the same old stuff reinvented for marketing purposes?
