How did you like the pbl v2 ?

Easy to work with or streaks/high spots?

Very nice work on a great looking car. Would also like to know how your experience with the v2 formula went.

So the V2 is nothing short of awesome to apply. A true pleasure. It definitely goes on super thin. A little bit goes a long way. I like to work this product in unusually small sections working the product in. If you try too big of an area with too much product you`ll end up with high spots and holograms that I describe as gasoline looking. The great thing about V2 is if and when a hologram pops up they wipe down super easy. I find that the grey Supreme microfibers are the best at lightly removing these spots.
Flash time has also increased dramatically. I let it sit for about 90 seconds before wiping to showcar finish. As I finish a section I have two infrared lights trailing me providing 15 minute coverage per panel piece at 150 degrees.
I can`t obviously speak for longevity or hydrophobic properties, but the product is quite slick to the touch, similar to that of CQUK or plain CQ.
If anyone has any other ?`s just shoot!

I`m also going to try an experiment and see what happens. I`m going to try half a trunk with applying V2 the traditional way and then try the other half via airbrush. Once it`s baked I`ll take before and after paint thickness readings to see which way provides a thicker outcome. I use an airbrush for Pinnacle Wheel Coatings and it works AWESOME. I`m thinking why wouldn`t it work just as good on the paint. Only way to know is to try!
