Hi all.
I bought a used 2017 Q50 in October. Since then I've applied a few different products such as Meg's Hybrid Ceramic Wax, Meg's UFF and Opti Seal. The surface was never as slick as it was on my previous car. I chalked this up to being whatever the dealership put on it was keeping these sealants from acting as they should.
Well Friday I finally had a chance to give the surface more prep. I did a simple green pre-soak, wash, clay, OPT Poli-Seal via orange pad/DA then 2 layers of Opti-Seal. Previously (on prior car) this combo would have provided great slickness and not allow many contaminants to stick. This morning the paint is not slick and things such as a small flower from a nearby tree are sticking to the surface. There's no slickness to speak of at all.
Friday I applied the OS last in the morning, yesterday morning I applied the second coat in the morning as well. A couple of hours after yesterday's coat it did rain so I don't know if that's a factor.
Is there something that could have survived this process that's still causing products to act funny? Was this not enough surface prep?
I'm at a loss, any ideas?
Thanks.
