This turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I have been very busy at work and also picked up a new toy for me so all the other cars on the driveway have been seriusly neglected.

I have not washed my wife's 2010 MDX Sport since ...I can't even remember. Few Months. Car is white and from all the rain it had develpoed black stripes from the rain run off.

Yesterday I decided it was the day to do the MDX. I had not applid any LSP since last October when I was getting it ready for the winter. I cleaned the wheels-love these-so easy to clean, and moved on to the paint. I washed with a MF mit and shampoo. Car came out so clean I was amazed. I usually have a much harder time getting the car white again after such a long gap in maintenance. Cleaned it up, polished the exhaust tips with polishing soap and applied another coat of UPGP to ensure full coverage. I also apply it to the face of the wheels and it seems to last until you hit it with wheel cleaner!

This stuff is so easy to use. I like it's portection alot, nothing seems to stick to it. I keep trying new products and end up using the new stuff on my car and finishing up everything else on the others. I have to tell you that this Ultima stuff is good-lasts-provides above average protection and most of all, I can coat a clean MDX in 5 minutes or less fully and completely. It may seem expensive but you use so little per coat.that the cost per use if very in-expensive. If you are new to this product stick to 1 spray per pannel. I only get into trouble using too much. You can't see it on white but on black it is evidenced by streaking. The streaks are easily removed with their detailer once fully cured.

When I first got to Autopia, there was alot of talk about the Ultima Line-then it died down quite a bit, still a good product in my opinion.

Plan on topping it with another coat today and then I will post pictures.
 
I like it very much myself. My car is white pearl and the Ultima Paint Guard Plus makes it look like a candy finish after two coats. After three it glows at night :D
 
I don't think there a single Ultima product that doesn't work well or that I don't like.

When I first gave Ultima's Paint Guard Plus a test drive I thought; "I must be doing something wrong because this is just too easy"....It is just that easy..

I was pleasantly surprised to see how shinny the finish was and how well it protected everything. If I had to categorize this product I'd say it's smack dab in the middle between a quality sealant and one of the new Nano coatings we're seeing today....:bigups
 
I have yet to use the UPGP, but Optiseal is amazing and I have heard that UPGP is much better. I hope to try it someday. :bigups:
 
i have opti-coat 2.0 on my cars. how does it compare in slickness and longevity.
would it be worth taking off the op 2 to use upgp instead.

The only way to take off Opti-Coat is too polish it off (and even then its going to be near impossible to know when its gone). Opti-Coat is a great, permanent coating. Why not just top it with Ultima instead?
 
I to have Opti-Seal but want to try UPGP since Corey is such a huge fan of it. :D

I have both Opti Seal and UPGP. With OS it's kinda like "nice try but UPGP got it right". I use the OS for black door handles, black mirror housings, door jambs, roof racks, and the like. Can't seem to use it up in spite of my efforts to deplete it.

I have used OS on paint for a durability test. But now for the most part I am using it on wheels, and door jambs. It makes it nice and easy to finish.
