My first Ultima Detail

TNWIII · 08-04-07, 12:03

Well, it's 2:00am, and after only 2 hours I applied the Paint Prep & the Paint Guard and I have to say It was easy. I was concerned after seeing posts about the difficulty in removing the prep product, and the uncertantity of the applying the Paint Guard evenly, etc. I had no problems removing the product, and in poor flourescent garage lighting I could see where the Paint Guard product was applied.
I have an '07 Corvette, which I detailed from the dealer using Klasse AIO and Klasse Glaze and P21s, and while I can't see the car in the daylight, I have to say it looks a million times better and in half the time, just from what I saw tonight.
Tomorrow afternoon I plan on applying another coat of the Paint Guard, but the Paint Prep alone left car looking wet and glossy!
I will take pictures, but can not upload yet due to posts count, but I will upload as soon as I am allowed.
Thank for your time.

Looking forward to the pics. It's pretty easy to use.

I didn't mention this in my original post, but I used the UDM 1000, to apply the Paint Prep product, using the White polish pad supplied with the unit and a speed setting of 2. I drizzled the product in a circle, in the center of the pad, perhaps 1.5" in diameter.

I did a quater panel at a time, by letting the product work in until it hazed (not long) and buffed off with little effort, at least no more than the AIO or the Glaze.

That's just not fair! You're just teasing us without pics

Welcome aboard and can't wait to see the pics. 3 more posts, right?

Feel free next time to kick up the speed on the UPPP. I applied on speed 5 via UDM.

Are you referring to the DAS ScratchBuster pad? That's the strongest one, right? How damaged was the paint?

The DAS ScratchBuster Pad is not the pad supplied with the UDM. The standard UDM pad is a light polishing foam.
