UQD observation

when i first used it a few weeks ago i posted here about how awesome it is. I still feel that way, but for a while there i wasn't sure. I wonder if anyone else has noticed what i did. I tried It on my car the day i got it but my car was sizzling in the sun. I figured i'd try it anyways because the worse that happens with other QD's is they streak. but instead of streaking it instantly turned to a gummy substance. Maybe it reacted with whatever was on it before, i dunno. then i tried it on my bike which was in the shade. I actually intended it for that anyways. It was a hot day but the bike was not in the sun so it was warm but not hot. Thats when my jaw hit the floor and i knew mi found a winner.



However, later over the following weeks i was getting some results that seemed as tho maybe i was halucinating the first time i used it and it was in reality no better than anything else thats good. later i found out why.......this stuff seems to work no better than a good QD in cooler weather, but when hot (tho not with paint in the sun) thats the only time it seems to work magic ! i have re-created this phenomenon numerous times. Cold mornings it's literally not even as good as many other off the shelf brands i've used. But gimmie a hot day and the stuff not only goes on and off much much easier (no hazy spots) but that incredible "just shot 5 coats of clear lacquer" look is right there. It's level of quality seems to be extremely dependent on temperature. I'm very curious...has anyone else found the same thing or am i losing my mind? (before you say it, SHUTUP!...in my best little Richard voice :))
 
The bottle does say it takes up to 12 hours for the polymers to cure so warmer temps would likely accerlate the curing time. I do not like the way UQD gives the normally white light reflections a blueish hue. I have seen it do it on black, silver, charcoal, gold and white paint.



I've just been using the UQD for exterior window duty and detailing my wifes minivan.

But if i do it in cool weather even after 12 hours, or any amount of time for that matter, it never looks as good or feels as slick as when applied in heat. I guess it just sorta bakes the stuff on and causes it to work better. Just never seen that before with anything. As for the bluish hue, i have black on my bike but have never noticed that in any light.
