Will this strip my existing wax?

No. Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax is pH neutral, which means it cleans the surface without removing your existing wax or sealant. It actually adds a thin layer of carnauba and synthetic polymer protection on top of what is already there.

Can I use this on surfaces other than automotive paint?

Yes. The formula is compatible with fiberglass, so it works on boats, RVs, and motorhome gel coat surfaces. It is also safe on chrome and glass. Avoid using it on matte or flat finishes, as the wax component may add unwanted sheen.

How much product do I use per wash?

Meguiar's recommends about 1 ounce of concentrate per gallon of water in your wash bucket. The 48-ounce bottle gives you roughly 48 washes, making it a good value for regular maintenance washes.

Product Details

Meguiar's has been in the car care business since 1901, and their Ultimate Wash and Wax is one of the more popular wash-and-wax-in-one products on the market. This kit pairs a 48-ounce bottle of the concentrated formula with a microfiber cloth, giving you what you need to wash and add wax protection in a single bucket session.

The formula blends carnauba wax with synthetic polymers — as you wash, it lifts dirt and grime with rich suds while depositing a thin layer of wax protection on the paint. It is pH neutral, so it cleans without stripping any existing wax or sealant you have already applied. After you rinse and dry, the finish has a noticeable gloss and a light layer of protection that fills in between your regular wax or sealant applications.

This is not a replacement for a dedicated wax job, but it is a practical way to maintain your paint's protection between full details. The included microfiber cloth works well for the final wipe-down. The formula is safe on clear coats, single-stage paint, and even fiberglass surfaces like boats and RVs.
