UPGP and Meg's #80

[wsb]

It's OK to use UPGP after Meguiar's #80 (or #83) or I have to use UPP before UPGP?
Also if I top UPGP with Collinite 845 I'll get better protection (for bird bombs) or four layers of UPGP it's enough? My first concern is protection not looks.
Thanks.

You want to clean the surface after using either Meg's 80 or 83 because of the oils they leave behind. Personally, if I was using 80 or 83 before application of UPGP I would do an IPA wipe or a quick wash. UPP "leaves behind a special primer designed to promote proper bonding of Ultima Paint Guard Plus......" I haven't experimented with UPGP on just a clean surface vs one prepped with UPP, but for max durability I'd prep with UPP first.

I'd see how a few layers of UPGP holds up for you..... my findings are it releases dirt very well. Later you can add another layer of UPGP after a wash or toss on some 845. Either way I'd try to use a good QD to maintain slickness so things like bird sh$t are easier to remove.

I agree. That was the problem with the recent comparison test purporting to pit Ultima against Zaino.

OK, thanks. I'll do an IPA wipedown and UPP afterwards.
