Touch up of Uber Ceramic Coating

**wil2007** · 05-08-2016, 04:29 PM

Applied coating for the first time yesterday.Once I got it out in the sun today, I noticed 2 sots on driver door that I think are either dry spots or high spots. What are my options to fix this?Do I need to redo whole panel. After all the prep and overall great results, I have to make this right. I tried to take a picture but could not get them to show. It is like 2 ghosts of the sponge applicator

Probably best to redo the entire panel. If you try to touch it up it will look uneven. Probably not the answer you were hoping for.

Hi, as soon as my order arrives I will be applying uber as well. Can I ask how it went for you? Any tips for a novice?

Overall it went well. Lots of prep.As was advised to me,good work light. I think everything would have gone perfectly with better lighting

How would you redo a panel? Do you have to polish it out and then reapply? I have a few spots on my car with this problem as well so I'd really like to know.

Thanks

Eh, applied the Uber Ceramic to a black Vette about two weeks ago...noticed a high spot/smudge above one door handle about a week later when car finally made it outside. Took a white, 3" foam pad, dabbed some WG Finishing Glaze on it, buffed off the high spot by hand , hit spot with WG Paintwork Prep then some leftover Ceramic on one of those foam finger pads they include with kit per instructions. Blended right in, water sheds evenly over entire panel, no touch-up areas noted. Took about a minute or two. Your mileage may vary but looks fine to me with spot touch up.

Good to know it's pretty simple to correct. Looks like I have some work to do.

Thanks!

Yeah, me too. Just found a spot on a black Subaru WRX that needs 'updating'...Doh! Funny how you don't see some of this stuff until the car is 'out in the wild' no matter how clearly you inspect after initial application.
