Streaks after appling PGP?

danh · 03-17-08, 09:19

Yesterday was my first try with the Ultima product line. I washed & dryed my 2 week old 2008 X5. I used the elastrofoam product, then with my porter I applied and removed the PPP. The X5 looked great! I then wiped on the PGP and let it dry in the sun for a few hours before moving into the garage. This morning I noticed streak marks in several locations. I am planing on appling another coat of PGP tonight. Should I try and buff out these streaks? If so, what should I use the detail spray plus? Or, should I just use my duster and re apply the PGP? Help!

Try buffing them after the stuff has had time to cure (12 hours). If the streaks don't go away, I'd say the streaking is from the PPP application.

I too used PGP yesterday and saw streaks. I read that's the result of using too much. I mf'd with UQD on one spot after 12 hours. I did not uss PPP first. I wanted to put another coat today, but the yellow/green pollen is relentless!

I used PGP today and i saw streaks too. It is the result of using too much.After 12 hours you can wash them out or use some UQD.

I recommend that you do not buff until after 12 hours from the LAST application. Buffing with a good MF will get rid of any streaking and will bring out that final shine. Usually if there is any streaking from UPGP is from applying it too heavy, but in any case, it buffs out very easily without having to use a QD. However, I always do a final wipe down with FK425, but for the streaks, but because it works great to bring out more gloss and make the flakes pop even more.

I went outside to check the streaks and they are an oily residue, I obviously applied too much PGP. So, I can wipe this down with a MF & then reapply (not as much as the first time!) another coat of PGP? It has been close to 24 hrs since my first application of PGP.

IF you have the Ultima QD, give it a wipedown after 12 hours, then apply another coat. The streaks should buff off with ease.

Sounds like you applied a bit too much, it takes a few applications of WOWA sealants to get the hang of it.

After 12 hours of the last coat, give it another wipedown with the Ultima QD.

Can you apply another coat of UPGP right after using the Ultima QD? I thought the QD needed time to cure as well.

Yes you can.
