Some people have mentioned that going over cured UPGP with a qd can clean up any streaks and bring up the gloss a bit. Will any good qd like FK425 or CK`s QS work, or do I specifically need to use Ultima`s detail spray?

Or use Chem Guys EZ Creme glaze prior to Ultima to amp up the gloss. I would do both.

Thanks for the tips! Instead of EZ Creme Glaze, I could use DWG since I already have it.

DWG as a base and toped with 3 coats of UPGP is a winning combo. The better the prep the better the finish.

I use QD strength ONR...works great
Meg`s LT removed the streaks with no problem for me.

WHatever you use, remember to let it cure.

Not to change the subject, but Ultima`s QD is pretty good, so if you`re considering buying it anyways, I`d definitely go for it.

I found that the FK QD was far superior to the Ultima version.

Um...not sure what you want, but here goes!
The Ultima just didn`t seem to work out as well for me. Categorically.
IMO it isn`t as slick, tends to leave more marring when removing bird and bug blasts, I don`t like it as a pad starter as much either. Seemed to "watery" in comparison to the FK slickness.
FK is my QD solution with Adams as a distant fall back. Adam`s is my fall back option because it is a decent QD and can be obtained locally in a pinch.
The only knock I have against the FK is their recent switch to a different spray bottle. I loved the original swivel top. The new ones are garbage in comparison. Booo! So I dump the new bottles into the originals and keep on plugging.
FK QD is the best QD I have tried. Nothing else has even approached it yet.

If you get streaks, then your using too much. I`ve never had an issue with UPGP.
