I've used OS for some time, but cannot get the final looks like UPGP can produce. UPGP is also polycharged and should last longer than OS. |

No touch up on photo. Taken with an old Sony 5.1 mp. Will an 8mp improve the photo? Sorry not a camera buff. |

Re: Does UPGP Work?
Nice deep gloss. That's a nice combo.

That's exactly what someone said about one of my pics I posted after using that combo (that it looked like a CAD drawing). The results are just amazing. |

I tried DWG on my metallic Silver paint. I simply put it on top of what was already there (JW AJT). I did exactly half of the roof for comparison. I saw no difference between the side with DWG and the other side.  |

Re: Does UPGP Work?
Macruz19 Thank You
Detaildoc Thanks to you, I found the secret weapon. LOL
Bence As you are probably aware that it's all in the prep work. I've used 106ff before, but never got the results I was looking for until I started to use 87MC with a red pad to jewel the paint. All I can say is that the 87MC really added gloss and depth to the finish.

Re: Does UPGP Work?
I'm using PO85RE5, OPS, or Scholl Concepts S40 (5000 grit) to jewel the paint. No probs on prep, but my UPGP looks always grayish and generally unimpressive. And it goes dead in 2 months.

What color is your ride? Mayabe the coat of DWG in my case helped, I dont know. As far as durability is concerned, it doesn't matter much to me, as it only takes 10 mins. to recoat. If I get one month its ok. It takes so little product and not much time. |
