Thought I'd say your vids are excellent. I was in homebase paying at the tills and got talking to this guy who saw me get out of my black 5 series earlier on. He wanted to know how I manage to keep the paint work looking like a mirror. I told him I always follow the advice of Mr forensic detailing 😀
Another great video review. What makes these videos work so well is that there is no superfluous waffle. They are clear, easy to understand, and very informative.
I so enjoy your watching your channel Jon and the knowledge that you impart to others. I bought the Ultra high definition wax and tried it today. My car is 38 years old and I would polish by hand, that is until I took your advice and bought a Rupes bigfoot 15 polisher. My heart was in my mouth the first time I used it. Within minutes I was comfortable with it. I therefore polished then applied the wax. My car has never looked this good, the car is now a mirror finish. If you tell me how I can upload a picture for you I will be delighted to do so. I have also bought Bilt Hamber and Angel wax products due to your recommendation. I can't thank you enough for all your advice to a novice like myself. All the very best and regards.
hey gorden, really nice message thanks so much for that. awesome to hear you got good results. you can send any pictures to rover8200@hotmail.com or the forensic detailing channel on facebook, would be great to see the car... cheers JD
Another great video John. Really informative as always. I bought the HD wax last Sept & was pleased with it but from the sounds of things AG have stepped up on that wax significantly. I'll be using Fusso this year based on your previous recommendation purely for its hydrophobic qualities however I'll be testing this product out down the line. Keep up the great work. Cheers Mark 👍🏻
Autoglym say Ultra HD Wax provides protesction for up to 6 months. Never leave it that long so wouldn't know. I apply every 2 to 3 months. Super impressed with it's application and removal.
great review arrived just at the right time for me iv been trying a lot of waxes mainly cheaper ones on my car and noticed im re applying ever 1-2 washes wanted something decent that i know can last this review nailed it for me unfortunately halfords aint stocking it near me at the moment or it just hasn't arrived as yet guess i'll have to persevere with what i have for now.
Good review. Only thing I’d add is that important to polish the car in advance of using the HD wax. I started to use it on a brand new VW Beetle straight from the showroom and was shocked at how pitted and stained the paintwork was deep down - obviously spent months outside in the Mexico sun I reckon. I started over with a polish (Mir in blue bottle, my favourite) to clean the car first and remove the rough pitted spots. Then when properly cleaned, I applied the Autoglym HD and was well pleased.
Hi john i use the ultra hd wax to day on my fathers van and it is red it is great to use and made the red paint pop and a great shine so ill do my own car with it next weekend buy the way i love your chanel great work.
Essentially impossible (not distributed) to get in the USSA. Why, I have no idea. I had a tub a few years back and it IS "the bomb". Beyond exceptional!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Simply wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a shame mate, i just did a Google search and couldn't find anything in the US but Canadian Tire stock it for 59 Canadian Dollars . Might be worth getting in contact with them and seeing if they'll ship out to you? Just literally finished using this wax on my car and it really gives an amazing finish imo.
Awesome wax leaves the deepest shine I’ve experienced applicator done need to be dampened several times, picked it up for £36 from Halfords with 1l of uhd shampoo and in a nice quality zip up bag 👍🏼 great honest review
I used this for the first time this week I didn't read the instructions, I know, my bad. I didn't mist the applicator, I used it sparingly, thinking, if it needs it, I will add another coat, so glad to see you mention thin application. I didn't let it 'crust' I did half the bonnet then buffed off and followed suit over the rest of the car. the results are still fantastic though, and its been non stop rain where I live since. hubs and I have the same car, and you can really see the difference in the way the rain reacted, my bonnet had half a starburst pattern, whereas his, the rain sat over the whole panel. as soon as we get a dry day I will rewash and reapply another coat, properly this time. Might even do his car for him too ;)
@@ForensicDetailing I’m new to detailing. Found your channel amazing for learning. I binge watched everything you have done, and now come back for specific jobs. I really have found a new passion, the kids keep calling me the detailing granny, haha
Jon, I just put down a layer of Gyeon Q2 Flourine Wax. What a Peach to buff, it also was lovely to spread over the panels. I have had NO ghosting, which has been a big problem for me with other waxes. Thanks for recomending that product for me, i enjoy putting down a nice layer of protection. Also the paint is seriously slick to the touch, possibly the slickest ive ever felt..cant wait to see the hydrophbiditiity later.
Excellent as always Jon and the results looked top notch. Looks like Autoglym have hit a home run with this one. Watching the way it cures and buffs off, reminds me of the Finishkare 2685 and Britemax Vantage waxes, they apply and buff exactly the same.
I have Svisswax Shield. And I can say that buffing that off is so satisfying. It comes right off. So if this wax is much the same buffing off, you gonna love working with that product.
Halfords have an offer on at moment. You can buy this wax along with ultra hd shampoo, microfibre and applicator all in a bag for £36😳 Just bought one myself👍 Bargain😁
Looks very good! Thanks for the review. I have the High Definition Wax and love it so much! Very pleasant and easy to apply. Recently I use mainly the Soft99 12M but hate the smell, not pleasant to use... This new one can be a good alternative :-)
Great video, really interesting listening to what you had to say! I have a pot of High Definition Wax that is just lasting forever, so I won’t be able to buy the Ultra HD wax any time soon as it would be a shame to waste 3/4 of a pot considering how much it cost! Glad you mentioned about the flakes of wax indicating you are applying too much as I had that problem and thought it was because the car was still dirty after wash and polish so will try to apply less by keeping my applicator wetter!
From the USA.............. Auto Glym brand is not the easiest/most available to purchase within the USA to put it mildly. That said, had the benefit of purchasing a tub of HD Wax a few years back, objectively speaking and without question, it IS beyond nonpareil!! Absolutely phenomenal in terms of net result AND exceptional durability!!! Said durability has surpassed two outstanding acrylics that I also use. If a new wax is now at hand, I implicitly trust the chemists to have achieved even greater net results. Cheers............
its a real problem isnt it. when like products from the UK go to the USA, or vice versa. theres a cost added which can make that product less competative. The autoglym waxes are all about being nice to work with and easy to use. Soft to the buff.
Great review Jon! I miss Autoglym over here in the States, used to be able to grab them over the counter but I don't think they have any more distributors lined up. I'm on the hunt to get my hands on this new wax thanks to your video!
those are too very well known, well used products that give good long term durability performance, but autoglym would or could never get away with selling products like this. 845 isnt temperature stable. And it has a tendency double cures on you. you get list a delayed cure haze with it the next day it needs rebuffing. I used it a fair bit many years ago it was developed to insulate electrical cables. I would not use it again personally. (915 I like though). Fusso has a few issues around application, get it wrong and you can make your car look like a smeary ghost wax trails from all the parafin. (they do have other waxes in the s99 range that dont have this problem though)
Forensic Detailing Channel Yes if you're not careful or apply to much of either product, as per most products, it can be a hassle. I've had good luck with both Fusso and 845 (which I apply with a DA with no issues at all) I've heard of the need to 're buff 845 but I've never had to do it. I wonder have they improved the formula? 🤔
Hey Ken, yeah I love Fusso! And I wish I could be much more carefree with 845 and avoid the hazing and holograms. But the hunt still continues for that best waxer's wax. Combining the qualities of an addictive smell, ease of use, insane beading and decent durability into a wax that I wouldn't mind using every weekend for relaxation. So with this Autoglym Ultra HD - I would be looking at this to compete against Zymol Glasur as that all around top notch balanced waxer's wax with a ridiculous ease of use level - Glasur currently holds that title for me.
Hello. Great video once again. That product color is kind of same with collinite 915, which was my favourite carnauba wax before i found the world of ceramic coatings.
I bought this and love it. I am a bit of an Autoglym fan because of my first buy from them the super resin polish. None I tried before beat this for smear free removal. And I’m happy the uhd wax is the same. Have to say I hate their videos on you tube. Don’t do them justice. Ps love your Chanel unbiased reviews and followed loads of your recommendations, thank you
SRP + UHD is a cool combo. theres been lots of like products that have since come along that are interesting and good, other forms of protection to wax as well etc.. but honestly SRP + UHD for guys that like to clean there car well. gloss up the paint with SRP and top with UHD. those 2 products are your polish/glaze and protection products and then its just your wash and decon and accessories you need to pick.
Forensic Detailing Channel my full routine is hd autoglym shampoo(little product gets loads of suds) actually better value then the £5 big bottles I used to get, maguires clay bar, SRP, uhd wax. And about 20 micro fibre cloths ( my wife loves washing them lol) I am just waiting for your recommendation wheel cleaning bilt auto wheel to be delivered. Quick question what can I put on my wheels to help keep them protected and repels dirt for longer? Thanks for your last reply
Hiya just seen your video I've just machine polisherd my car about to apply this hd wax from autoglym will it still need a ceramic coating I've got some gyeon Wetcoat any help would be most greatfull
Lots of people say to me that Autoglym are decades behind other competitors with all their existing products. Do you think this is true? and if there is some truth why do they not develop further, given they are easily the biggest brand in car care, and have been for many years. They must have the money for development? Keep up the great videos, I’ve watched every single one! Tom
everyones got their opinion. Lets say they do more product testing in one day generally than most detailing brands do in a lifetime. Their capability and expertise to test is completly beyond any other detailing company. They have more full time qualified chemists in their lab than most have staff. The facility in letchworth runs flat out. They developed EVERYTHING in house. They are ISO compliant (dont know of any other detailing companies that would put themselves through that). they work with car manufacturers to advise them on all areas of cosmetic maintainance of cars. they get attacked because they are the biggest. They became the biggest because they know what they are doing.
I agree. I do use a few of their products and I’ve always found them to be of a high quality for my needs. I think you’re right, people like to attack the big boys, banks, Manchester United, the conservatives, it’s really just jealousy I think. I’m ISO compliant for my field of expertise so I understand how hard that it is to get, essentially for an established company with older practices and procedures, and you need to have a lot of financial backing to go through that. Bottom line is a lot of the newer detailing companies go bust very quickly, whereas Autogylm haven’t, so they must be doing something right. Thanks or the reply, I had suspected people who think they know more than science were incorrect. Keep up the great work. Can you do something on traditional sealent with a paste wax over the top, is it worth it? Is there a good product combo to look at? I am considering chemical guys sealent plus bilt hamber double speed as a good combo, but I’m unsure. Thanks mate.
cheers tom, theres lots of cool brands out there I dont use autoglym for everything because their range has to be safe and easy to use as a major priority because its sold WIDESPREAD to guys that are not professionalk detailers (with their resale range). So theres stronger solvent cleaners, perhaps more potent detergents and more concentrated bulk offerings etc.. but the products Ive used have been good. Aqua wax, egp, srp, HD UHD, fast glass, etc.. I need to check out more of their stuff because to be honest Ive not used that much of the other products. I want to try their ultra high def shampoo and the fallout remover and things like that as well..
i just love the smell of everything they make, especially the rapid detailing spray, it must be the best smelling car product out there - though parent of small children should be careful the kids don't drink it by mistake!
Forensic Detailing Channel Be interested to see your reviews on AG UHD shampoo as I think it's the best shampoo I've used. I tried BH auto wash today and although it has excellent cleaning capabilities it does not come anywhere near AG for suds
Nice review Jon. I'm a big fan of R222, it brings my ultimate black Jag up a treat. However I'm always looking for better results. I've seen you praise R222 on previous reviews so how do you think this new product compares?
I've always liked AG products, despite them occasionally seeming to fall behind the times but I'm looking forward to using this one when the current pot of HD wax runs out, oh and maybe the one the Mrs got me for Xmas too 😉
@@ForensicDetailing forgot to say I use polar range so would you say use polar foam then polar. Wash then dry then use ultra HD wax and forget about the polar seal also how often would you need to wax your vehicle
Hi John, another good review as always. After watching this, I’m left wondering how it would compare to the likes of R222 Concours Look Carnauba Wax? R222 would be very similar I think and less expensive. I’d be keen to hear anyone else’s thoughts on this. Cheers again.
This wax is worth every penny. I just did my red Ferrari F430. The finish is incredible. By the way, be sure to use the red micro fibre cloth to remove it. I accidentally began using a couple of other cloths initially to remove and found it a bit difficult. Then I remembered the one that comes with the product and immediately realized how much better it is.
kudret çabukoğlu maguires 2.0 tech wax is good stuff I can’t decide which is better though. Have been thoroughly impressed with bilt hamber fast wax recently.
Nice video. I bought this but have yet to apply it. I also bought the Autoglym UHD Shampoo. Will that be enough to maintain the wax or do I also need a safe QD? I don't want to apply anything over the wax to spoil the finish. Thanks
I’ve got an idea John - perhaps you can start using grid girls at the start of your videos, as there’s now a few looking for something else to do... The worlds going mad...
budget is tight on the channel but I could maybe borrow a boob tube and a pair of spandex from the misses and stuff a couple of water mellons down me top.. wont be quite as good as the grid girls but its the thought that counts!
Sound Jon. I have halk a tub of Swissol, or Swiswax as it may have changed to, its good suff if warm and not too cold, goes on great and comes off well. Bottom line for me is I do not want a two year wax and nothing to do between. Autoglym are no mugs, their products are decent without thrills. Fast glass is as good as many others for one. £55 for AG Ultra, Swissol £200. Easy question, “Is Swissol 4x better?” Buying the costliest is not always the best. From your Vid I will buy this AG Ultra and wax 3-4 times a year. Unless I’ missing something, looks a no brainer.
your right.. but like its the same for everything. so like a 600k zonda or koenisziggazagga isnt "that" much better than a gt3 rs. sainsburys cornflakes aint too bad compaired to kellogs. P diddies "unforgivable" aftershave (what a name lol, the new fragerance by sean john is unforgivable *waves hand and pinches nose") is no better or worse than like bulgari and they all cost 10p to make. but a good wax, thats well developed and well branded and functional is cool. The chemistry of UHD is incredible so damn soft to use. And time and time again you hear people attacking autoglym for the same old crap. very few guys in the world could make a wax like this. I also find the swissvax waxes really desirable and want to own them even though I know they are not worht like 1k. but thats part of good branding establishing a reputation for excellence and offering high end products.
Ditto Jon, that’s how you can make money with your UA-cam vids, doing some testing,comparing and publishing them. I have found in detailing products, as a whole with just a few exceptions none very few are “dogs”. Biggest difference is in Branding and price, then personal preference. They alk work, some easier, some a little better, but it gets down to splitting hairs a lot! I will not replace my Swissoll (now Swissvax) purely on the exhorbitant cost. I will decide if its 4x better after I use AG Ultra and decide.
Good Review, really considering giving this product a go, durability a side I currently own a pot of Fourthwax Summer which is labelled as being a show wax... Have you ever had the opportunity to review that as I'd be interested to see your reviews of their products. Thanks
Hi again I have finally finished machine compound and polishing my silver ford fiesta ST. I have done 5 panels but I forgot to dampen the pad that you get with the product and me being me didn't read the instructions. I put a coating on the first 2 panels then went back and puff it of. I did do the finger swipe and it did come of clear in places that were put on thin. Do you think I should go back over the panel that I have done already because I may of buff it of to early and all so would it harm the paint by going over it twice. Because it's a light silver car it's very hard to see where I have been. It probably would be easier to see it if I'd damped the application pad that came with the wax 🤦🤦. What would you advise me to do??
I’ve ordered some Scholl S20, CG green hex pads on your recommendation and wondering what wax would go best with that? The BH Double Speed or Shinee? So much choice it gets confusing. Figure I’ll order a finishing pad too and machine the wax on too.
Greetings from Poland :) What's you opinion now, all those years of testing and fancy waxes you got? I have Waxplanet Bioshock, got it for cheap this winter and it is waiting for test but UHD creates itch that makes me want to buy it.
Nice review John, , liked the way you did the wash test and great explanation, I might give this a go for fun. Been using the double speed over winter, still a hard wax to beat. You got the paint on that car mint mate, what did you correct it with, its come out beautiful
just used super resin polish on the bonnet to test it could sit on top of that with no issues.. rest of the car was just waxed with no SRP, but the wax made the car look very glossy and wet.
Another good review Jon I am going to buy this when I get paid and try it out at the moment I am using the 🐢 was liquid and it's crap and hard to remove I noticed u was app ling Inn circular motion is that the correct correct to apply a away Inn have been doing straight lines thanks
Hi John, old vid i know.. You mention UHD wax being compatible with SRP.. Do you know if regular HD wax is also compatible? I guess if its a cleaner wax (and im not sure if it is) it would pull out SRP. Cheers from Australia
yeah great review and that silver really comes up well ! Do you know if the finish it is a big improvement over standard HD wax ? I have half a tub of standard HD wax but considering this. However seem to be struggling to get a hold of it !?!
I dont have HD wax to compare it too.. but its been formulated to add more gloss than the HD wax (which wouldnt have been easy to achieve). Id have to get them on test panels side by side but even that has limitations with my setup to be able to measure it. but the finish the wax leaves is superb.
Hi Jon,great review as always,I'm going to be using some of this wax on my black Audi,but first I'm using megs ultimate compound,then ultimate polish,then the wax,what I'm asking are these two compatible with each other,I remember hearing you say the wax works with the srp,but how about the u/p,I do have srp at hand also,I can't find any info on this,thanks .damo.
hey damien. totally compatible mate. In fact good combo.. so compound and polish as required.. wax can pretty much go on next. If you want to after your final polish you could degrease the surface with a cleaner product. You could also use super resin polish after the final polish (although some will say less point using a filler after a good machine polish) but it will still improve gloss and bring up the finish more and the wax can sit on top of it no problems.
go with EGP if on a buget and UHD if you like waxing and repellency. EGP is a solvent based wax emulsion. Its essentialy wax thats more disolved down to a liquid.
@@ForensicDetailing thank you for your reply I understand how good the ultra high definition wax is but doesn't the extra gloss protection repel water better as it's so glossy and liquid and it's advertised as 'super tough protection' where as the wax is more for the deep shine? Carnauba wax is natural and that's in the ultra high definition wax where as the extra gloss protection is synthetic and therefore better able with rain and repellenancy. I applied two coats of extra gloss protection and I've never seen rain run better off the car with the extra gloss protection even the roof had huge big water beads that were just sitting there and when I drove a couple miles the car was virtually all dry and smooth. And I wondered is this product better than ultra high definition wax. You say the wax gives 6 months protection as does the extra gloss protection but which one creates the deeper shine and beads water off so well? It's a fine line between the two. This is why I would love a comparison review hehe
nice review as always jon, i have some of these wax to try out on my black metallic and silver metallic. did you apply the wax on top of super resin polish on the golf? did you find it gave any depth?
only applied on top of SRP on the bonnet. it all just looked glossy.. but would be worth going over the car with SRP if it was a bit hazey/light swirling perhaps and you dont have a machine polisher to do the correction.
I have the old HD wax and it is a yellower hue. Have a couple of problems; It's sat loose in the tub now and wondering if i can melt it down then let it reset? Also the red applicator sponge goes hard.
take red applicator pad to sink run hot water, steaming hot water into the sink. put a squeeze of fairly liquid into sink. soak applicator in hot water for 20 minutes. take out of sink brush it with old tooth brush and hot water to flush all the detergent and melted wax out. Or buy new applicator. dont remelt wax you will be heating solvents and breathing them in and damaging your lungs. if you cant scoop up the wax in the pot its time to buy another pot of wax mate.

Next step: 8k uhd wax😁
It does an incredible job. Definatly the best Wax out there, I'Ve use it in conjuction with Super Resin Polish
@@Marko_Horvat a year after i tried it but the buffer takes ages even with a good connection speed.

Great review Jon! I miss Autoglym over here in the States, used to be able to grab them over the counter but I don't think they have any more distributors lined up. I'm on the hunt to get my hands on this new wax thanks to your video!
WaxMode But it's no Fusso Coat or 845😂
those are too very well known, well used products that give good long term durability performance, but autoglym would or could never get away with selling products like this. 845 isnt temperature stable. And it has a tendency double cures on you. you get list a delayed cure haze with it the next day it needs rebuffing. I used it a fair bit many years ago it was developed to insulate electrical cables. I would not use it again personally. (915 I like though). Fusso has a few issues around application, get it wrong and you can make your car look like a smeary ghost wax trails from all the parafin. (they do have other waxes in the s99 range that dont have this problem though)
Forensic Detailing Channel Yes if you're not careful or apply to much of either product, as per most products, it can be a hassle. I've had good luck with both Fusso and 845 (which I apply with a DA with no issues at all) I've heard of the need to 're buff 845 but I've never had to do it. I wonder have they improved the formula? 🤔
Hey Ken, yeah I love Fusso! And I wish I could be much more carefree with 845 and avoid the hazing and holograms. But the hunt still continues for that best waxer's wax. Combining the qualities of an addictive smell, ease of use, insane beading and decent durability into a wax that I wouldn't mind using every weekend for relaxation. So with this Autoglym Ultra HD - I would be looking at this to compete against Zymol Glasur as that all around top notch balanced waxer's wax with a ridiculous ease of use level - Glasur currently holds that title for me.
Waxmode, have you reviewed Glasur on your channel?
Love your vids mate, keep them coming👍
Hey dude great review as always what do u think compared to Fusso ? Currently got colinite 845 on..
Hello. Great video once again. That product color is kind of same with collinite 915, which was my favourite carnauba wax before i found the world of ceramic coatings.
Hi all nice vid but a would love to no how to wX a white car all the waxs dont show up
Good informative video thanks buddy, gonna buy some
I've got to stop spending money on waxes... john ur not helping... but I'm quite impressed with this wax so far!!!
The successor, brother.
Going to try it I’ve been using a ceramic coating which is best
I bought this and love it. I am a bit of an Autoglym fan because of my first buy from them the super resin polish. None I tried before beat this for smear free removal. And I’m happy the uhd wax is the same. Have to say I hate their videos on you tube. Don’t do them justice. Ps love your Chanel unbiased reviews and followed loads of your recommendations, thank you
SRP + UHD is a cool combo. theres been lots of like products that have since come along that are interesting and good, other forms of protection to wax as well etc.. but honestly SRP + UHD for guys that like to clean there car well. gloss up the paint with SRP and top with UHD. those 2 products are your polish/glaze and protection products and then its just your wash and decon and accessories you need to pick.
Forensic Detailing Channel my full routine is hd autoglym shampoo(little product gets loads of suds) actually better value then the £5 big bottles I used to get, maguires clay bar, SRP, uhd wax. And about 20 micro fibre cloths ( my wife loves washing them lol) I am just waiting for your recommendation wheel cleaning bilt auto wheel to be delivered.
Quick question what can I put on my wheels to help keep them protected and repels dirt for longer?
Thanks for your last reply
Smart packaging easy to put on after watching your video little to no effort to take off bought on you recommendation thanks john best wishes ian
Hiya just seen your video I've just machine polisherd my car about to apply this hd wax from autoglym will it still need a ceramic coating I've got some gyeon Wetcoat any help would be most greatfull
I love this wax i have been using this for years great wax.
Following your video I treated my car to a clay, polish and wax. So easy to use, really effortless. About 6 weeks now and still looking good.
how do you wash the applicator?
I use non bio washing liquid.
Lots of people say to me that Autoglym are decades behind other competitors with all their existing products. Do you think this is true? and if there is some truth why do they not develop further, given they are easily the biggest brand in car care, and have been for many years. They must have the money for development? Keep up the great videos, I’ve watched every single one! Tom
everyones got their opinion. Lets say they do more product testing in one day generally than most detailing brands do in a lifetime. Their capability and expertise to test is completly beyond any other detailing company. They have more full time qualified chemists in their lab than most have staff. The facility in letchworth runs flat out. They developed EVERYTHING in house. They are ISO compliant (dont know of any other detailing companies that would put themselves through that). they work with car manufacturers to advise them on all areas of cosmetic maintainance of cars. they get attacked because they are the biggest. They became the biggest because they know what they are doing.
I agree. I do use a few of their products and I’ve always found them to be of a high quality for my needs. I think you’re right, people like to attack the big boys, banks, Manchester United, the conservatives, it’s really just jealousy I think. I’m ISO compliant for my field of expertise so I understand how hard that it is to get, essentially for an established company with older practices and procedures, and you need to have a lot of financial backing to go through that. Bottom line is a lot of the newer detailing companies go bust very quickly, whereas Autogylm haven’t, so they must be doing something right. Thanks or the reply, I had suspected people who think they know more than science were incorrect. Keep up the great work. Can you do something on traditional sealent with a paste wax over the top, is it worth it? Is there a good product combo to look at? I am considering chemical guys sealent plus bilt hamber double speed as a good combo, but I’m unsure. Thanks mate.
cheers tom, theres lots of cool brands out there
I dont use autoglym for everything because their range has to be safe and easy to use as a major priority because its sold WIDESPREAD to guys that are not professionalk detailers (with their resale range). So theres stronger solvent cleaners, perhaps more potent detergents and more concentrated bulk offerings etc.. but the products Ive used have been good. Aqua wax, egp, srp, HD UHD, fast glass, etc..
I need to check out more of their stuff because to be honest Ive not used that much of the other products. I want to try their ultra high def shampoo and the fallout remover and things like that as well..
i just love the smell of everything they make, especially the rapid detailing spray, it must be the best smelling car product out there - though parent of small children should be careful the kids don't drink it by mistake!
Forensic Detailing Channel
Be interested to see your reviews on AG UHD shampoo as I think it's the best shampoo I've used. I tried BH auto wash today and although it has excellent cleaning capabilities it does not come anywhere near AG for suds
Nice review. The original hd wax was my 1st “higher” end wax.
Would you apply this to alloy wheels?
Nice review Jon. I'm a big fan of R222, it brings my ultimate black Jag up a treat. However I'm always looking for better results. I've seen you praise R222 on previous reviews so how do you think this new product compares?
I've always liked AG products, despite them occasionally seeming to fall behind the times but I'm looking forward to using this one when the current pot of HD wax runs out, oh and maybe the one the Mrs got me for Xmas too 😉
Thanks John l I will hold out for it Enigma is a little expensive thanks again mate
Great stuff jon.execellent information.i do agree with what you said, autoglym will sell loads of ultra HD wax.
Would you advise to use resin polish then resin spray then ultra hd wax so many different opinions but your advice is always the best
Wax after Srps is perfect m8
@@ForensicDetailing forgot to say I use polar range so would you say use polar foam then polar. Wash then dry then use ultra HD wax and forget about the polar seal also how often would you need to wax your vehicle
Hi John, another good review as always. After watching this, I’m left wondering how it would compare to the likes of R222 Concours Look Carnauba Wax? R222 would be very similar I think and less expensive. I’d be keen to hear anyone else’s thoughts on this. Cheers again.
Max Burg So far I can't find anything that can beat R222 so I think I'll be sticking with it.
Is this worth the money? Is there better out there for the money or less? On a black car
Top review, just off to buy some for my new Vantage. New to me that is!
This wax is worth every penny. I just did my red Ferrari F430. The finish is incredible. By the way, be sure to use the red micro fibre cloth to remove it. I accidentally began using a couple of other cloths initially to remove and found it a bit difficult. Then I remembered the one that comes with the product and immediately realized how much better it is.
reminds me of soft 99 kiwami dries so quicknot bad beading results nice glossy shine to it so easy to buff
Well, I’m sold. Halfords here I come.
Megiuars ultimate paste wax number one
kudret çabukoğlu maguires 2.0 tech wax is good stuff I can’t decide which is better though. Have been thoroughly impressed with bilt hamber fast wax recently.
David redford what i mean and try is the ultimate paste wax Excellent depth of water scroll and protection
Hi john
With the autoglym hd wax and ultra hd wax can they both be layered and does it add depth each time i add a layer? Cheers julian from Australia
Nice video. I bought this but have yet to apply it. I also bought the Autoglym UHD Shampoo.
Will that be enough to maintain the wax or do I also need a safe QD? I don't want to apply anything over the wax to spoil the finish. Thanks
I’ve got an idea John - perhaps you can start using grid girls at the start of your videos, as there’s now a few looking for something else to do... The worlds going mad...
budget is tight on the channel but I could maybe borrow a boob tube and a pair of spandex from the misses and stuff a couple of water mellons down me top.. wont be quite as good as the grid girls but its the thought that counts!
Forensic Detailing Channel beautiful... it’s all about the effort... but that detail made me feel a little bilious... 🤣🤣🤣👌🏼
Defiantly getting some of this!! If I use meguires ceramic detail spray as a clay lube can I put this wax over the top? Cheers
Sound Jon. I have halk a tub of Swissol, or Swiswax as it may have changed to, its good suff if warm and not too cold, goes on great and comes off well.
Bottom line for me is I do not want a two year wax and nothing to do between. Autoglym are no mugs, their products are decent without thrills. Fast glass is as good as many others for one.
£55 for AG Ultra, Swissol £200. Easy question, “Is Swissol 4x better?” Buying the costliest is not always the best.
From your Vid I will buy this AG Ultra and wax 3-4 times a year. Unless I’ missing something, looks a no brainer.
your right.. but like its the same for everything. so like a 600k zonda or koenisziggazagga isnt "that" much better than a gt3 rs. sainsburys cornflakes aint too bad compaired to kellogs. P diddies "unforgivable" aftershave (what a name lol, the new fragerance by sean john is unforgivable *waves hand and pinches nose") is no better or worse than like bulgari and they all cost 10p to make.
but a good wax, thats well developed and well branded and functional is cool.
The chemistry of UHD is incredible so damn soft to use. And time and time again you hear people attacking autoglym for the same old crap. very few guys in the world could make a wax like this. I also find the swissvax waxes really desirable and want to own them even though I know they are not worht like 1k. but thats part of good branding establishing a reputation for excellence and offering high end products.
Ditto Jon, that’s how you can make money with your UA-cam vids, doing some testing,comparing and publishing them. I have found in detailing products, as a whole with just a few exceptions none very few are “dogs”. Biggest difference is in Branding and price, then personal preference. They alk work, some easier, some a little better, but it gets down to splitting hairs a lot!
I will not replace my Swissoll (now Swissvax) purely on the exhorbitant cost. I will decide if its 4x better after I use AG Ultra and decide.
Hi could you review collinite 845 was please
Nice review.Would like to see a whole car from distance in the sun...
Good Review, really considering giving this product a go, durability a side I currently own a pot of Fourthwax Summer which is labelled as being a show wax... Have you ever had the opportunity to review that as I'd be interested to see your reviews of their products. Thanks
Hi again I have finally finished machine compound and polishing my silver ford fiesta ST. I have done 5 panels but I forgot to dampen the pad that you get with the product and me being me didn't read the instructions. I put a coating on the first 2 panels then went back and puff it of. I did do the finger swipe and it did come of clear in places that were put on thin. Do you think I should go back over the panel that I have done already because I may of buff it of to early and all so would it harm the paint by going over it twice. Because it's a light silver car it's very hard to see where I have been. It probably would be easier to see it if I'd damped the application pad that came with the wax 🤦🤦. What would you advise me to do??
Have used collinite 915 … taking it, it’s better than that ?
Hardercuring, cheaper. Less easy to buff and less beady
Bought this yesterday can't wait to use it need to wash car first like
I used the product and ... doesn’t last long..
Looks good after it’s been applied..
That’s it..
Hi John you say uhd on top of super resin, does it go ok on top of ultra deep polish
Can you wax after applying the Autoglym Polar Seal
I’ve ordered some Scholl S20, CG green hex pads on your recommendation and wondering what wax would go best with that? The BH Double Speed or Shinee? So much choice it gets confusing. Figure I’ll order a finishing pad too and machine the wax on too.
How does this compare to Fusso, soft 99?
Curious to see how this compares to collinite haute d'élégance
Greetings from Poland :) What's you opinion now, all those years of testing and fancy waxes you got? I have Waxplanet Bioshock, got it for cheap this winter and it is waiting for test but UHD creates itch that makes me want to buy it.
The passion to try new stuff is part of the fun. It's a brilliant wax though.
Super Resin Polish before the wax still worth it on a newish 2017 car, saying that I think it got swirls when the dealer washed it on delivery :-(
Hi there i am new to all this can you tell me the best car shampoo that does not break down the autoglym ultra high definition wax
Nice review John, , liked the way you did the wash test and great explanation, I might give this a go for fun. Been using the double speed over winter, still a hard wax to beat. You got the paint on that car mint mate, what did you correct it with, its come out beautiful
just used super resin polish on the bonnet to test it could sit on top of that with no issues.. rest of the car was just waxed with no SRP, but the wax made the car look very glossy and wet.
Hello SRKarting, how long have you been getting out of the double sped. I live in Canada and if some can last six months, that's good for us.
Another good review Jon I am going to buy this when I get paid and try it out at the moment I am using the 🐢 was liquid and it's crap and hard to remove I noticed u was app ling Inn circular motion is that the correct correct to apply a away Inn have been doing straight lines thanks
its better to work a paste wax in little small circles yes mate. just helps spread it.
Hi John, old vid i know.. You mention UHD wax being compatible with SRP.. Do you know if regular HD wax is also compatible? I guess if its a cleaner wax (and im not sure if it is) it would pull out SRP. Cheers from Australia
How do you rate the original autoglym HD paste wax? I got 4 or 5 of them on close out at Walmart for like 6 USD each....
Loving your videos, thanks.
Jon do a video on fusso vs this please nobody else have done it
yeah great review and that silver really comes up well ! Do you know if the finish it is a big improvement over standard HD wax ? I have half a tub of standard HD wax but considering this. However seem to be struggling to get a hold of it !?!
I dont have HD wax to compare it too.. but its been formulated to add more gloss than the HD wax (which wouldnt have been easy to achieve). Id have to get them on test panels side by side but even that has limitations with my setup to be able to measure it. but the finish the wax leaves is superb.
I think you meant successor not predecessor. Could you review chemical guys 50:50 wax please, and also Zaino Clear Seal ??
I've used 5050 and it's not very durable loses its hydrophobic effect quickly I thought
Hi Jon,great review as always,I'm going to be using some of this wax on my black Audi,but first I'm using megs ultimate compound,then ultimate polish,then the wax,what I'm asking are these two compatible with each other,I remember hearing you say the wax works with the srp,but how about the u/p,I do have srp at hand also,I can't find any info on this,thanks .damo.
hey damien. totally compatible mate. In fact good combo.. so compound and polish as required.. wax can pretty much go on next. If you want to after your final polish you could degrease the surface with a cleaner product. You could also use super resin polish after the final polish (although some will say less point using a filler after a good machine polish) but it will still improve gloss and bring up the finish more and the wax can sit on top of it no problems.
Hello can you do a comparison between the extra gloss protection and the ultra high definition wax?? Thanks a lot :)
go with EGP if on a buget and UHD if you like waxing and repellency. EGP is a solvent based wax emulsion. Its essentialy wax thats more disolved down to a liquid.
@@ForensicDetailing thank you for your reply I understand how good the ultra high definition wax is but doesn't the extra gloss protection repel water better as it's so glossy and liquid and it's advertised as 'super tough protection' where as the wax is more for the deep shine? Carnauba wax is natural and that's in the ultra high definition wax where as the extra gloss protection is synthetic and therefore better able with rain and repellenancy. I applied two coats of extra gloss protection and I've never seen rain run better off the car with the extra gloss protection even the roof had huge big water beads that were just sitting there and when I drove a couple miles the car was virtually all dry and smooth. And I wondered is this product better than ultra high definition wax. You say the wax gives 6 months protection as does the extra gloss protection but which one creates the deeper shine and beads water off so well? It's a fine line between the two. This is why I would love a comparison review hehe
nice review as always jon, i have some of these wax to try out on my black metallic and silver metallic. did you apply the wax on top of super resin polish on the golf? did you find it gave any depth?
only applied on top of SRP on the bonnet. it all just looked glossy.. but would be worth going over the car with SRP if it was a bit hazey/light swirling perhaps and you dont have a machine polisher to do the correction.
I have the old HD wax and it is a yellower hue. Have a couple of problems; It's sat loose in the tub now and wondering if i can melt it down then let it reset? Also the red applicator sponge goes hard.
take red applicator pad to sink run hot water, steaming hot water into the sink. put a squeeze of fairly liquid into sink. soak applicator in hot water for 20 minutes. take out of sink brush it with old tooth brush and hot water to flush all the detergent and melted wax out. Or buy new applicator. dont remelt wax you will be heating solvents and breathing them in and damaging your lungs. if you cant scoop up the wax in the pot its time to buy another pot of wax mate.
Would you recommned using Auto Glym Rapid Ceramic Spray after using UHD wax and how often you repeat the whole process wax/RCS? Many thanks
I think it last longer than the wax. So you could just use standalone. Use every 2 or 3 months m8
Great video! I think I'll pick up some UHD Wax next time it's on sale :-D
if i use another paste wax over UHD wax...will it affect the shine etc...?thinking of combining the Turtle Wax hybrid ceramic graphene paste wax...
Hmm u can m8
Successor to the HD wax you mean?
