used dacp/vm/Mw w/ C like a montha go.



dcided to VM + PUPP today, despite people syaing it won't bond or whatever.



yeah so VMd it, always gives it a nice wet even look. Love VM. (especially since you can go crazy with it, it only makes trim look better!)



then i went over the whole car with a terry applicator (roundo ne like a wax apper), and put about an ounce of product on the whole car, if that.



very easy to apply, very very BUTTERY.



Removal, oh removal.



i tried both immediate and letting it haze removal, found hazing to be better, if it isnt hazed it just smears around-- BADLY.



So yeah i didnt really care for removing it, but it was OK. A little easier than SG but not much.



I think it bonded because of the removal difficulty, if it was being repelled by the VM I believe it would have been far far easier to remove.



PUPP also clearly has some kind of lipids in it.
 
Yeah, I find PUPP (aren't we supposed to call it something different now, since they can't say "Platinum"?) tougher to remove than SG. Even with super-thin applications, it'll smear until it's fully hazed; takes a while to get it all off. Maybe we oughta let it set up overnight or something.



Nice and slick though, huh? It's still my fave on the S8- I use it over 1Z's MP.
 
You have to apply it very thinly and let it sit for 1 hour, then its really easy to buff off. Its 4 Start UltimatePaintProtection :xyxthumbs





If it smells bad, you got version 3 which is easier to use than 1 or 2 (which just appeals better)
 
SilvaBimma- Ah, so there's something functionally different with the latest version, not just the smell, huh? Much as I'll miss the v2.0 smell, I won't miss the smearing!



I put it on at least as thin as I do SG and let it set up for several hours. I still have to go over it a few times to get things perfect, so the improvement will be appreciated.



Beanbag- Latex foam, huh? Where did you get that?
 
Very interesting read NozeBleedSpeed! Thanks! :xyxthumbs



Looks like I'm eyeing a three step sealant process: AIO and SG now as two bases and then UPP.



I love it ! :D
 
PUPP layers very well over SG and I am amazed that there have been problems with smearing. Following the instructions I have not had any problems.



The protection from PUPP will last a long time if finish is maintained with the Ultimate Gloss Ehnancer after a wash. I also use the Ultimate car wash with very good results.



Since last fall I use AIO, SGX2 or 3 then PUPP for my last step protection. This combo look great on my Apline White III BMW 325Is.



Cheers,

Eric
 
Hi NoseBleedSpeed,



I am getting old and out of touch, what is a spinner? Is a spinner a hubcap that is rotating even when the car is stopped? If it is you are sooooooo correct.



Cheers,

Eric
 
Bill D, here is a pic of my Tahoe with two coats of SG and UPP. No problem with hazing...!

Ron,



Looking good! I'm looking for another sealant to add, I think I may heave reached my SG limit. Hope UPP is it! :xyxthumbs

I dunno. I found it laying around. I think it was used as packaging or something. Basically, it is kind of dense and rubbery.
 
I've never had hazing or smearing problems with UPP but I am very used to applying products thinly. My only real beef is having to wait 45-60 minutes (as instructed on the version I have) to remove since I don't always have a garage to leave the vehicle in and the Dallas area is always so windy and dust settles quickly. Other than that, I really like the look and slickness. :up
 
Beanbag- OK, I'll keep my eyes open.



Scottwax- Yeah, I dunno what it is with me an PUPP. I don't have any problems applying other products nice and thin, just that one (at least I assume that's where my "issues" come from, though I've used maybe one ounce for *many* applications). I sorta wonder if some of my smearing comes from putting it over 1Z's MP, but as long as I can get it with additional wiping I guess I won't sweat it.



Nozebleed- Guess I've been lucky, I never had a problem with the German paints I've worked on. *Good* observation about the Klasse, though, and I assume the 1Z stuff is likewise compatible.
 
Could UPP be put in a small spray bottle like SG and be sprayed the appropriate amount to spread thin with onto a mf pad?

No, it's a very oily product. My guess is that it won't mix very well.
 
Bill, I guess you could place UPP in a spray bottle and apply it to the car. However, I had no trouble applying it with a MF sponge. I just made sure I spread it until I could not see any signs of it still being applied.
