My new TL (3 months old, NO swirls yet) got it's first REAL detail today. Washed, clayed, washed, VM'd w/Excel blue pad, and 1xUPP by hand. Can I put another coat of UPP on after it's washed again in about a week?



Can't use an easier combo IMO, UPP comes off almost as easy as VM!
 
Upp is wonderful isnt it ! Why dont you add another layer tomorrow! You can add a layer anytime you wish, as long as the surface is clean, and free of defects you can add product. VM/UPP is a good combo, I'd shoot for a layer tomorrow!
 
24 hours before applying another coat is the widely accepted rule. Some go a little extreme, in my opinion, and wait a week.
 
Yep, a 24 hour wait is fine.



When I first used UPP, there's no way I could a week before I put on another layer! I loved it so much, that I just had to go out the next day and put another layer on! :D



FWIW... when I got to my 3rd layer, there wasn't any difference in appearance in my eyes. My opinion is that 2 layers is enough with UPP.



What interests me, is that you used VM before UPP... I've only used AIO before UPP.



Does anyone else use VM+UPP? I'd have thought there'd be bonding issues with these two products? I'm willing to give it a go though, as that combo would score 10/10 for ease of use!
 
Haven't tried UPP over VM, but I *did* have some minor bonding issues with UPP over the pink, consumer version of 1Z MP. Nothing truly *awful*, but I did get a bit of smearing and the UPP seemed more "oily" than usual even after it cured. Sorta like BF. UPP seems to work a lot better over the "pro" version of MP, which contains less wax. There might be a limit to the UPP's tolerance for application over certain things.

Funny you should mention that. I was on the road one day and I saw a new red KIA and noticed how crappy the paint job was. I was about fifteen feet away, but I still noticed the orange peel on the car.



I judge all cars on the road since I joined Autopia.:p
 
boosteddsm- Interesting that the UPP bonded to the VM. Thanks for posting about it, that's how we learn what does (and doesn't) work.
