I know you're trying to help. I'm trying to learn here too, giving as much information to get helped. When you said the same with prep polish, you mean you had the slick resulting surface and oily residue during wipeoff? I feel WG PPE does a better job cleaning the surface, but I also know it...

I don't think anything specific from that thread would have helped, I pretty much did those procedures. I did this in an enclosed garage. Now that I think about it, maybe it was not my application but the prep. -clay -WG TSR3 x 2 -WG FG -DP coating prep polish x 2 -DP paint coating The...

doh, I thought I did it better the second time around testing one panel on black where I could see what I was doing and used less, also buffed lightly immediately after finishing the panel. Looked good under my headlamp and flashlights. Pulled it into the sun the next day and high spots galore...

Thanks Nick. And that's why I like to hear definitive answers from the manufacturer rather than rely on guesses due to other products on the market. Too much mis-information spreads that way. It would be nice if you put more information out for your products. Prima is generally light on...

I had used the prep polish, used the autogeek sold yellow foam applicator, and it felt like dry wiping within seconds on my 75 degree in-garage application. I couldn't see the coating well enough due to the paint color so had no idea if I was applying the right amount. Foam rubbing paint with...

which variant did you put on the headlights?

Yes, if more technical information can't be given out, at least more detailed application instructions and tips would be nice. -best applicator choice? -coverage per spray? -time between application and wipe down? -time between application and full cure? -application temps/humidity to avoid?

My 13 and 9 year old cars have perfect shine still that people think they are brand new. But I also wonder, has paint technology improved in the past decade such that a car produced now will have even more durable paint that my old cars do?

If he can get the distilled water, ultima waterless wash. It cuts through grime or fingerprints better than a QD, is super slick, and smells great. It doesn't streak unlike some QDs, and I feel safer using it on bird bombs than a QD. By the way Dave, how would you classify the terminator...

I felt the same way applying it to just a hood last night. I must have used 8-12 sprays because it went grabby quickly like I was dry wiping. Being a silver car in lighting that did not show wetness, I could not tell if it was covered or not so I just sprayed more. I ended up not doing the...

Yup, my sprayer looks like that, but it's in the 4oz bottle. I must have 4 bottles of UPGP (most are replacements due to the white stuff and sprayer problems) and got a few more extra replacement sprayers and each one still fails on the second use. The sprayers don't look anything special or...

I remember those days, and I think it's still true with my old UPGP bottle. It streaks like crazy if things aren't perfect. DGLS and BFCS behave very differently and you can over-apply by quite a lot and it still doesn't streak compared to UPGP. I'm kinda interested if my recent streaking...

This is with the mist sprayer? Has it been working perfectly fine? When is the product date on your bottle and how long have you been using the bottle? I'm just wondering since I've had such poor luck with UPGP sprayers and I'm in one of the mildest environments. California, indoor closet...

I've had very bad luck with UPGP pump sprayers clogging, nozzles shooting off, and only being able to drip it out instead of spray. This happened with every bottle I've tried throughout the years. I don't think it's the sprayer, I think the product just hardens in place and makes the sprayer...

Thanks for all the helpful answers Nick! I'm hoping you can elaborate more on these two. Are you actually saying you can build up layers by spraying and wiping dry, then going and doing it again and again? Is this giving more protection, durability, and/or gloss? And how long after the last...

It sounds like Detailer's Coating Prep Polish would be a better choice for waxes and sealants too? No fillers results in better bond right? Do coatings like DP paint coating have more trouble bonding through polishing oil than a non-cleaner sealant or wax? From what I gather, doing the...

I'm hoping those experienced with Prima Hydro Max would be able to answer a few questions about the product and experience with it's behavior. There isn't much detail about it searching around the web. Any help to get these questions answered is appreciated! 1. Does it require the surface...

This is interesting because PPE is supposed to clean the paint for applying wax or sealant. Isn't the fillers and oils going to hurt durability of whatever it's topped with, yet it's marketed as helping to improve durability? The suggestion of using DP paint cleaner beforehand; does this...

Looks really good! I've got an 04 Redfire one so seeing all the customizations and cleanliness of the engine compartment you can tell he cares about the car. I'm surprised he's going to drive it home without protection though. I don't know how unprotected paint is with removing bug guts mar free.
