So here`s the dealio. I have a brand new A3. Just off the boat. I washed it, used the Ultima Elastrofoam on the front end and then used UPPP. The UPPP was awesome. Very easy to apply and remove. I even let it sit as I did about 1/5th of the car at a time, then went back and wiped it off before doing the next 1/5th.
But now the "problem". The UPGP I found very hard to work with because I knew I was not supposed to over apply. I primed the pad with two sprays, did half the hood, then applied another spray from then on doing one panel at a time. Took all of 10-15 minutes to do the whole car. The problem I had was that i couldn`t see the product on the panel! For the first second or two I could see an oily film. But as I applied over the whole panel I couldn`t see anything. I`m under flourescent lighting and looked from all angles. When I was done I even pulled it out into the sun and still nothing. The only place I see a little "smearing" is on the black glass roof. The rest of the car is bright red.
Any thoughts? Did I apply it correctly? The whole time I`m worried that I`m wiping too much and removing the product at the same time that i`m applying it.
Oh, and that sprayer is funked up. Kept dripping product down all over my hand. But i think I remember something about david working on a solution for that. Also, i wasn`t fond of the pump top on the UPPP. Too akward to dispense product compared to a regular flip top.
