Just ordered the Ultima Sampler.....Very excited to try the prep and sealant. I was going to order the Interior Protectant, but I held back. I am sure I will.
I've got DG 105 on the car now. So, I will use the prep to polish out anything very minor and remove the 105. I have DG 101 on the wheels now. Would I be OK just using the paint guard over the 101? I would think so.....
Any other tips? I am really looking forward to something that will get me through winter with only a coat or two.
Last thing..I am planning on using the prep with either a green or orange 5 inch LC pad. Preference either way?
Thanks!

I got my sampler last week....I was excited to try it..so I did it right over 105 on my tailgate...and it looks the balls....I was going to ask David if you could use over an existing sealant before I tried it..but was wanting to try it fast...lol..I like the look and feel of it....

AL-53,
IIRC, DavidB said you could use it over sealants that truly cure (e.g. Duragloss, Klasse, Zaino). I had a few coats of Polycharged Werkstatt on my WRX, and I couldn't wait to do a full prep on my car either, so I just tried UPGP over the Werkstatt. So far, so good.

I put it on my Integra that has various products on the different panels and didn't notice any issues at all.

Great...I think I'll use the prep on the body panels, though, just because I think it will really prep it well and help me remove any tiny imperfections.

I may just try a section with the Dg bonding agent with Ultima over it...see what happens...I will do the full Ultima regime next week if weather permits...but nice to experiment while you can...lol...

AL-53,
IIRC, isn't DG PBA applied thinly to the paint, then a DG sealant applied immediately after without first removing the PBA (like Z1)? Since Ultima isn't buffed off, were you thinking of applying and immediately buffing off the bonding agent, then applying Ultima on top?
Curious,
Tort

Tort | I may try it both ways...since it just about vanishes when used anyways...I figure just going over it with Ultima will wipe any residue off...it will be interesting to see....I will also try a section of the PBA buffed off.....I am just curious to see what happens....

AL | Gotcha. I'm interested to hear the results.
