Hi All,
First post here and I'm having a durability issue with Wolfgang DGPS 3.0 localized to the rear bumper's horizontal 'shelf' surface and vertical surface immediately behind it on my Prius C. I drive this car for rideshare (Uber/Lyft) so keeping it clean is important. I last applied DGPS 3.0 3 months ago after washing/claying/polishing using Random Orbital with Meguiar's pre-wax glaze (even though the car was new). I wiped down the bumper with Meguiar's ultimate quik detailer and reapplied DGPS3.0 less than 3 weeks ago and it seems like it's gone already.
Essentially, Wolfgang 3.0 has stuck amazingly everywhere else BUT these sections of the bumper. Water no longer beads.
Unfortunately the hatchback aerodynamics cause the back end to be a magnet for crud. The rear end will be covered with a layer of dust within 2 hours of driving under the best of circumstances. Any moisture/rain/water on the roof drains along the side of the hatch and flows over the bumper. I have a feeling that the dirt accumulation and being a drainage area for water/crap abrades/compromises the sealant very quickly.
Might also have to do with the bumper being plastic?
Any tips to get better results?
