You have to wait an hour for UPGP to cure, old formula stated you should wait 12, new formula 45mins-1hr. When you layer UPGP it gives a more glossy, glassy look like an M&M candy shell. After UPGP fully cures it begins to look better and better. You ever paint a room in your house and thought it looked Ok but then the next morning the paint and color looked great after drying. Same concept.

My Bud with the Roush Vert in the last pic just had the flames painted. I told him don't touch the paint with ANYTHING!. No glaze, polish, wax.......................ext for at least a month, he didn't listen. Not sure if there will be any side effects, but I was always taught don't touch for a month until the paint "gasses off" or "cures"

I just ordered the Ultima Paint Guard Plus last week, so I'm sure it should be the new version AutoGeek sent me - 1 hour is amazing, I kept thinking I had to let it sit overnight for 12 straight hours! I wonder what they changed in the formula to give the same results in 1/12th the amount of time!?

Anyway, there was a really interesting article by Mike P around the forums here, where he talked about the chemical breathing and gassing off process... in a way he said the new paints used over the past decade or so are advanced plus they are baked on in bodyshops, so the "breathing" and "gassing" is kind of an outdated theory now, but people still do it to play it safe. I'll do it to be safe as well I guess!
