Even after extensive shaking, my 4*UPP has small specks of material that do not break down during application. Although the specks do not appear to be causing any scratching, I`m still a bit uneasy about using it on my black truck.
Is this normal for this product?

I think I have also noticed the specks you`re talking about. I have never noticed any marring caused by applying UPP though. I think they might be normal. You can pick them out if it really worries you. :)

There are way too many specks to pick out. With a dime sized portion to apply to the hood for example, there are probably 15-20 "specks".
My choices seem to be to try and filter out the specks from the entire bottle, don`t use it anymore or don`t worry about it.

Where did you buy it from? If it bothers you, why not contact the store .. see what they say?

I have never noticed "specks" in my UPP (two bottles). Contact Four Star about it.

This seems curious to me too. I have about three coats of UPP on my car and have not noticed any "specks."

No specks here, I have v.2 that smells like bubble gum. If you contact dwayne at premium auto care, I am sure that he will take care of it.

No specs in mines either.
I would either contact the supplier or maybe filter it through a coffee filter.

Two people have specs that settles it for me, I`ll pass on the UPP. Out of all the sealants I used this year, and there`s about 6 or 7 of them, I never heard anything like that. In fact after twenty years of polishing cars I`ve never heard of that. For twenty bucks a bottle I would expect better. Thanks for the post, this was one product I was going to try but this is too gheto for the likes of me. I likes my polishes spec free.

I think UPP is one of the best products i have, although i have not tried too many sealants.
I could sit and stare at my light blue car all day, it looks soo damn nice :)

LOL JBM, another reason not to try it, I have things to do and can`t afford to stare at my car all day.:D

LOL, it is really an outstanding product, but so are all the popular sealants.
If you dont want it, do you want to sell it?

Wow. I was just talking about one popping up here and there. Certainly not a consistent supply of them coming out. And I don`t notice them in the product, I have just noticed tiny specks on the pad after applying it sometimes.

Are they soft ? If so, i wouldnt worry about it. A coffee filter isnt going to solve the problem....Talk to Dwayne at PAC......

I have these specks too, its kind of like a milkshake or smashed up paste wax. They are soft and as far as i can tell it doesnt affect performance :nixweiss
