    UPG+ Ultima Paint Guard + time between coats

    It's too late on a Friday to call Ultima. How long must I wait between coats of UPGP or to add another LSP? Thank you in advance, Dave

    Re: UPG+ Ultima Paint Guard + time between coats

    Corey(CEE DOG) has some good info in this thread.

    https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum...plus-tips.html

    He says 45 minutes minimum, he waits 12 hours.

    I've just started using it and it's very nice. I don't think I'd top it, at least not right away. I works very well by itself.

    Re: UPG+ Ultima Paint Guard + time between coats

    I've done both-- after 45 minutes and after 12 hours. To my eye, it MIGHT look a little better after the 12 hours, but that's splitting hairs. The difference was miniscule, if any at all. As far as durability goes, either way is fine. Do whatever is easier. I like the 45 minutes because I don't have to worry about dust settling over 12 hours.

    That's also for the old formula about 6 years old

    Thanks. From now on I'll just make 3 trips around the car to get me 3 coats.

    Re: UPG+ Ultima Paint Guard + time between coats

    My supply is New In Bottle, but about 2 years old. Bought it on a BOGO. Is that the New Formula?

    Also I went to Carlisle with 1 coat. Got many comments on the Shine. But can I now carefully wash and add 2 more coats? Thanks, Dave
