CS vs UPGP trunk test

**glen e** · 02-08-2012, 02:42 PM

Ok Todd - got the CS today and donated my trunk for the good of detailiers everywhere. (I`m retired with wifey still workin, so what else do I have to do? - fishing sucks recently....)

1. trunk washed and ISP`d - it was bare paint
2. left side hand applied Ultima Paint prep vs right of TPnS
3. Left side: UPGP
4. Right side: CS

let the comparison begin - I will say the CS flashes off quicker and slides on a bit easier...

Looking forward to the results! It looks like the right side is a little deeper but I think is more from the cloud cover on the left?

Very cool! Interested in seeing the durability results.

Looking forward to it. Did you layer either or is this just 1 coat of each?

Based on Todd`s comment that one was enuf, both these are one coat each. The trunk lid will get no other products and we`ll use a neutral wash like CG glossworkz (not ultima or BF)

my gut is you will see very little diff as we go thru this test of 60 days....I think it`s a bit like BMW vs Lexus - both good products...perhaps the CS would get a boost from the synergy of the BF poly spray if used in conjunction.

Update - not worth a pic - they look totally the same and shed water just the same - stay tuned....the CS has a bit of a darker hue but you really have to look close....
