I like using a foam applicator to apply both products.

AIO: Wipe on/ Wipe off. No wait between layers, not that AIO layers. I like to apply AIO twice to ensure the paint is clean and ready for SG or UPP.



UPP: Apply very thin, wait 30-60 minutes before buffing. Wait 24 hours before applying another layer

what I mean was how long you leave it on and all,and you already answered my ???.



I already order it.Was it the 4 star UPP?I thought (PUPP)was Platinum UPP?Are they the same?Thanx!:)
 
I just did this routine for the first time yesterday. Yes, AIO is an on/off product. UPP, apply it and let it dry before removing. I used microfiber applicators and they worked great.



Platinum UPP and 4 Star UPP are the same. There was a copyright problem with "Platinum" so it was changed to "4 Star".

So how do you apply it?Wipe it on circle motion or just apply it evenly and spread it out thinly?And thanx for clarifying the Platinum UPP and 4 Star UPP are the same.:)
 
Oh my bad edschwab1 already answered my ??? I over read it.:p Thanx edschwab1 and tkr128 for the quick reply.:xyxthumbs
 
You can also apply AIO with a finishing pad on the PC @ 6 and a spritz of EO Wipe 'n Shine (per CMA instructions). Wipe off immediately. I use a yellow 4" foamy to apply the UPP.
 
I've been using PUPP for almost a year...and love it. Very little residue left, very easy on easy off.



I just ordered some AIO to try out. I do all mine by hand, applying the Cleaner/Polish and PUPP as mentioned above with a foam pad.

I like to apply both AIO and UPP in a linear (front to back) motion.

Lots of leeway applying both products. I usually use the Cyclo or the PC, which are about as far away from linear as you can get :D



I find that "working" the UPP for a while tends to spread it out, ensuring a thin coat. And it also makes it less likely to miss a spot.



FWIW, I use a polishing pad with the AIO. Not that there's anything WRONG with using a finishing pad, just showing that, again, there are numerous approaches that'll work. I've even used MF to apply both products, that worked fine too.



AIO works fine with a damp or dry applicator, but for UPP use a dry one (I "prime" it by working in plenty of UPP before I start and then squeezing out the excess onto a MF, which I'll use for doorjambs, etc.).

This is my 1st time trying out this stuff,usually just wash it with the yellow car wash shampoo from auto zone.Forgot the name cause I just finished the bottle.:p And this is my 1st time I'm buying a new car also,so I just want to keep the paint shine for a long time,hehe.Sorry for the newbie question here,I order the handi grip applicator,does this one work better than the blue foam pad or it's personal preference?:up

Thanx,I'll try doing mine with hand too at first,maybe later on when I get better I'll try the PC.Are you from the Maxima org?:up
 
I was going to go with the UPP but decided to go with WG sealant due to the fact that UPP has to sit 30min to and hour before removal. Can't wait for it to get here.
