Ultima 1012-100 Paint Guard Plus 12 fl. oz.

Ideal if you have no time to wash your car.I maintain my vehicles meticulously. Except, now we have a 1-year-old and I simply have no time to sleep let alone wash and pamper my cars. This sealant provides a piece of mind as I washed my Bimmer 2 months ago and still, when it rains, the self cleaning properties of the sealant come to life. Bird droppings loosen up and come off with just a squirt of clay lubricant. Just hosing down the car makes it much cleaner without a real washing.I put three consequtive coats of the sealant on top of each other waiting about 4 hours between the coats. Temperature was in the 70's.Two months later the car still looks acceptable after at least 4 heavy and a few light rains and being parked outside the whole time.In conclusion-if you have no time to pamper your car but still want some protection of your paint and semi decent clean look-ultima is your choice.Update:A year later, Ultima is still my go to sealent. It applies easily, does not need buffing, does not create high spots, does not leave white residue on plastic panels. It also applies to paint, rubber, plastics and glass with equally great results. It is,by far, the most forgiving, laziest,most efficient sealent I have ever used. It replaced 6 other chemicals I used to buy and stock up on. Also, a year later, after applying it liberally after washes and also using it to soak and remove bird dropping I still have about 20% ot the bottle left. At this point, all my car buddies are sold on it as well.Don't take my word for it. It is only a few bucks-buy one bottle and try it yourself. You will ask yourself why didn't you try it earlier!

I have been using this as my main LSP (last step protectant) instead of waxes and other sealants for at least 5 years now. It gives me a piece of mind that my car is wearing a layer of soft armor. This 'armor' obviously won't protect against impacts, but it shields your paint from the harsh chemicals and bird droppings your car may encounter on the streets. I do not have enough time to baby my car and instantly spray off any bird doo doo after every drive, so it may sit on my car for a couple days. Those couple days without serious protection will allow your clear coat to be physically etched by the contaminant, leading to paint wear and unsightly marks. With UPGP, everything has a hard time sticking. Water just sheets right off with a short drive and bird poop is easily rinsed off without harsh chemicals.Keeping my car clean is easier with this stuff. Firstly, dirt and dust just don't stay on there as easily. Secondly, when it comes time to wash, most of the dirt rinses right off, lowering the chances that you'll mar your paint from toweling. Hard water also has a tough time etching your paint as most of it will pool up and fall off. It's not magic, but it's MUCH better than nothing and MUCH easier than other alternatives. Application is as simple as wiping it on a freshly washed car. It takes ten minutes on a large sedan and will save much hassle. Nano-particle technology is definitely the way to go in this day and age. Ultima ROCKS!!You want to keep your paint looking nice and protected with professional results and without professional efforts, use UPGP. This product was originally recommended to me by some detailing professionals on a detailing forum and I have sworn by it ever since. I just started on my 3rd bottle, but it goes a long way (I spilled some of it or I'd still be on my second bottle)

This sealant is ridiculously easy to use, and it beads water like crazy for a good 6 months! You can do a large car in less than 15 minutes. On the downside, you can leave tiny streaks which are very hard to notice on metallic paint - more noticeable on non-metallic. I have 3 cars of various sizes and I love this stuff. And by the way, it a little goes a long way, so it lasts a long time making it a GOOD buy.

Folks think this is costly. My last bottle lasted 8 years.It works so well and is SO easy to use, I tend to use it more often.It lasts all through the winter each year and keeps the car much cleaner as well.I think of it as RainX for my car's paint.I've tried others, but this lasts longer and is far easier to apply.

This product really works great. It's easy to apply and puts a nice shiny protective finish on my Tesla. I've reapplied after about 5 months and my car looks like new. I've only washed it once in 10 months. Use the Ultima waterless wash in a spray bottle after it gets dirty. I did my wife's 6-year old Lexus and it made it look almost new.

Whatever this product is made with- I’m highly surprised and happy with it! I don’t drive my Scatpack Charger too often (1-2 x’s per week), and it sits outside. When I applied the first coat of Ultima, I didn’t have great expectations. After 2 weeks of sitting out in the pollen, sun, rain... the water beads are fantastic. Pollen/grime doesn’t seem to stick nearly as much as conventional wax. A second coat was applied and it just gets better. Washing is a snap and the bottle is almost still full. Reminds me of a ceramic coating without it being permanent. Excellent product.

I have to say, this product delivers like you wouldn't believe. Finally something that lives up to its promises. I must have 50 waxes in my garage and coatings and this blows them all away!!!!!!! I dont normally write too many reviews but this product deserved it.

I have a 22 year old pickup and live in the tropics. Compound, colored wax then this stuff - after 3 months in the sun the old paint still looks like new. Has excellent UV protection, lasts a long time and good water protection (well, we don't get snow and don't get a lot of rain).
