Can I apply an off-label Lsp after Ult. Pol. or 205

[willowcat11]

Like WG 3.0 over one of those. I am wondering if the polishing oils in Ultimate Polish might prevent the 3.0 from bonding well? I'm not sure if 205 has polishing oils or not.


Thanks all!

205 does contain oils. All polishes have some kind of carrier, I can't think of an instance where an abrasive polish doesn't have something left behind.

I don't worry about the oils, except for menzerna sf3800 where I've had streaking occur after sealant application.

If you are really concerned about it, you can wipe the paint down with isopropyl alcohol or body prep solvent to remove the majority of the oils.

Thank you Audio S6.

My fav wipe down after polish product is Eraser.
Clean with Eraser and apply your LSP of choice.

Once you have used either M205/Ultimate Polish,
or both, you will have "cleaned the paint".

Therefore, IMO:
Unless the Sealant manufacture's recommendations
say otherwise (like using some kind of "panel wipe"
prior to its application)...the paint is ready to be
sealed.

I agree with this.👆🏽

Interesting...

It may or may not be necessary, but it gives me a comfortable "warm fuzzy" knowing that all polishing residue is removed before applying a LSP.
I doubt it hurts anything to do this. Some manufacturers want their products applied directly to a clean paint surface & with others it's not needed.

Your thoughts?

My thoughts are:

Unless "the panel wipe process" would be
specifically dictated by the manufacturers...
Seems like "working backwards" to me.


BTW:
Although its residue appears to be
compatible with CarPro's 'Coatings'...
It's highly probable that Eraser
also "leaves something behind".

Makes me wonder just how compatible
those residues are with all other LSPs?
