![]() ![]() These are only seen on dark cars and usually where I start after reapplying product to the applicator. Only issue is in some areas I need to QD to get application streaks out. Ultima Paint Guard Plus Sealant-Super easy on, WOWA, Great beading after 4-6 weeks and nice slick feel, nothing seems to stick (dirt, Bird bombs and bugs). I am not sure if i worked polish to much, or too liitle or used too much or too little! 8/10 by hand Unrated by machine until I figure it out! If you have had good experience please share procedure. Using PC (and orange pad) I made a mess-could be me, it was my first time and am waiting for a new pad from Manufacturer. Paint Prep-Used by hand clears up light micro marring. Tire and Trim-Easy on, great coverage, lasts and lasts! matte to low gloss finish 8.5/10 Some minor issues I will detail each product below. I am very Happy with the Ultima system although it has only been on the car 4-6 weeks so durability is still yet to be seen. Main reason for a switch was WOWA sealant, figured the less I touch black the better! My backgroung prior to Ultima has been with Colonite 845IW and Grey (fine clay)Mothers car wash, and P21S Gold W/C, and Trutle Wax Bug and Tar Remover, Stoners GC Trigger. Can someone who has sucessfully used this (Ultima) line please give me your opinions on the following products mine are listed below) I am using Ultima products top to bottom. In the shade it look great, in the SUN, looks like thin strands of spider webs are on the car and catch the light. I hope my initiation is over b/c I could use some advice and help getting rid of micro marring on my black M35X. Update: it has been verified by Rick of Ultima that you can layer after 45 minutes instead of 12 hours in most environments.I have been having trouble getting responses from the membership. On my personal vehicle I place 3 layers of UPGP. I HIGHLY recommend applying 2 layers or more for noticeable better appearance and gloss. I have always waited 12 hours between coats but apparently the product has been modified and the cure is accelerated. You can place the second coat after 45 minutes. It is a little disconcerting not always being able to tell if you are putting anything on your paint. I didn't have any trouble at all even the first time but I have read some people apply too much. It will come out great if you don't over apply. In the unlikely chance that their is a streak somewhere after 45 minutes of curing allow to cure longer (up to 12 hours) after that if a streak remains simply take some Ultima QD and spray and wipe the streak with a high quality MF towel.Įven though on some colors or in some lighting it seems like you aren't putting anything on your paint just TRUST the product. This is not a product that you have to buff off. There should be no need to do anything else. Now just DO NOT touch Wait 45 minutes and inspect. Their may or may not be a slight film on the paint for a bit but it starts it's bonding process immediately. When you are no longer sure if anything is on the pad touch your clean window with it and you'll be able to see if there is still product on the applicator.ĥ.-If I don't see anything then its time for (1) more spritz to the applicator.Ħ.-Repeat until you get to the last panel. Then I'll wipe over to the side a bit where I know I haven't applied any to see if there is still anything coming off the pad. I basically make sure I do about 3 SQ FT. But on certain colors and without really good lighting its sometimes hard to tell anyway. Another thing to look for is that your applicator is no longer leaving anything on the paint. I always finish with straight lines from front to back of the panel. You are not polishing so no need to rub too hard or over and over. Apply the UPGP by hand and follow the directions! Below is my method which should not contradict the instructions you receive with the product.Ģ.-Take a clean microfiber applicator and spray 1 spray onto it to prime it.ģ.-Spray it once more and do about a 3 SQ FT area.Ĥ.-Apply in circular motions just making sure to overlap and cover the entire area. The mistake people make is they apply too much. If you don't then you should clean the paint after polishing so the UPGP bonds properly. Ultima Paint prep plus works as a light polish but also leaves behind a primer for the UPGP. I love all the Ultima products I've used. I get a pm with questions on these tips occasionally so I thought I would post this in it's own thread so I can send a link to anyone that asks in the future. It's copied from my article on L2D.Ī lot of you have probably read this in different threads a number of times as a response from me to others questions. Hi guys, I saw someone posting about UPGP and thought this might be helpful to them as they had some questions.
