I had another long weekend, so this time I decided not to be a honey do victim (honey do this, honey do that 
).
I washed the car Saturday evening and put a coat of UPP on by hand. After letting it set up overnight, I buffed it off Sunday morning. Then I put a coat of UPP on the door jambs, underside of the trunk & trunk drain channel, the underside of the hood and whatever other painted surfaces under the hood I could reach. I also did AIO & UPP to the chrome rims.
When I was done with that, I used the PC and a finishing pad (dampened with Eagle One Wipe & Shine) to put on another coat of UPP. Then I put another coat of UPP on the rims & Rain-Xed the windows.
I took care of a few honey do's and a few hours later I buffed off the UPP. Later towards evening, I used the PC again and another finishing pad and applied yet another coat of UPP. This time I used the pad 'dry.'
I just got done buffing off the third coat of UPP this morning. You've all seen how my camera sucks, so I won't post pics. Let's just say the paint looks so wet, it almost seems like it would come off on my fingers if I touch it.
One thing I did learn for sure is that using a PC & finishing pad DRY, is much easier, and uses way less product than either doing it by hand or with a dampened pad on the PC. Too, the coats are far more evenly applied than anything I could manage by hand.
The car really looks great. The only 'issue' I have with the UPP is how it beads water. I guess I thought I would get these never ending, super small, tight round beads instead of the larger, less well-defined ones I do get. Oh well.
