Hi Guys,
Its been a while since I posted about a detail I've done.
Last sunday I decided to detail my daily-driven '01 Sentra. I had washed and clayed it a night or two prior. On sunday I:
- used Menzerna FPII w/ a LC white polishing pad
- used DACP w/ meg's yellow pad or Menzerna IP w/ a LC orange pad (where req'd) - not the whole car
- used AIO w/ a LC white polishing pad
- used 4* UPP w/ a LC grey finishing pad
Everything went great except it was my first time using UPP and it was very liquid and runny. I might've used too much product. My PC was only running at speed ~4. But there were a few places where I'd accidently lifted off the car and got some SPLATTER. I left the UPP that I'd applied on the car for ~45 minutes, and was a breeze to remove with MFs. EXCEPT where it had splattered... it was a bear to get off. By that time it was getting dark to so my light in the garage by then wasn't the greatest. Using quick detailer, and sometimes PB's S&W, I did my best to wipe the splatter off.
Anyway, after that detail it rained straight for four days. It wasn't until last night that I finally got to wash the car again (NXT soap w/ a sheepskin). Well to my surprise, there were white spots on a lot of the car, even in places where I didn't think I had splattered it previously. And they didn't come off in the wash.
Is this normal for UPP? What does it take to get them off?
Can I get by just with re-applying AIO w/ a polishing pad, and then apply UPP by HAND? Will that work? I don't think I'll be able to find the time anytime soon to re-clay and do another whole polishing step(s).
Thanks.
Jason
