Today consisted of another quick detail on my ride. I used a quick detail spray from majestic solutions. The tires were not dressed as I was just going to try and capture the metal flake in the car. There has been some concern that when you apply many coats of UPGP that it will somehow mask...

Well As promised I put a 5th coat of ultima pgp on the car. I did a QD with the Ultima Spray Detailer of the entire car including windows. I have noticed alot of streaking on my windows when applying PGP on them. so much so infact I have to spend ALOT of time trying to get the "film" off...
