Another coating high spot question

[jdgamble]

Hey guys,

I found some threads on this, but many different answers. I just coated my ride with Wolfgang PROFI, and I have some high spots. Two of them I tried to fix, but I didn't get it right.

Is there a good method to polish only a specific area and reapply? Or do I need to do the whole panels? The worst offender is the rear bumper, which is the trickiest part.

If I mask off the area, polish, then reapply with some overlap, should I be able to clean this up?

On a brighter note, there's this:

Thanks all

John

I’ve never been able to blend it well, always had to polish and coat the entire panel again to achieve satisfactory results.

Yeah same here usually whole panel. If you have enough left I would try to spot blend it. Maybe your coating will react differently.

If it doesn’t look right then redo whole panel.

Location of the high spot and the color of the paint have a lot to do with how easily you can correct the spot.

I found on dark colors in a highly visible spot like a door, hood or roof, it took a re-do of the whole panel to make it look right. On an area like the front facia, rocker panels or rear bumpers with a light color you might be able to spot correct.

It's yellow and apparently very forgiving, cuz I kinda blew it. I will probably try the easy approach first.

Thanks for the feedback.

Did you use too much product .... what caused the high spots ?!

Or you left the product for too long before wiping it off ?

It flashed super quick on the bumper, and I felt like I had been wiping too hard and removing too much coating previously. So I probably didn’t wipe those spots hard enough. I may have used too much too. On one section, I applied a second time because I felt like it came off too easy.

It was my first time coating, so learning experience. Honestly 99% of the population would never notice. But I’m in the 1%, as we all are. Haha.

Car looks pretty good. But really no better than PNS+sovereign.

I take - it the difference between a top shelf wax and ceramic coating is mostly in durability of the protection, not the way it looks (as if something can look better than 2 layers of 845 .. in my view at least .. )

Coatings = long-term good looks, ease of maintenance, increased protection from environmental & chemical contamination/incidents.

Useful attributes when you’re a lazy guy w a black car that’s a PITA to wash

Coating looks way different thatn a wax.

One of my forman at work has asked me mulitple times about how i keep the buick looking so good all the time even when its dirty. He asks if i wash it every day haha. I say nope just once a week. He says hes never seen a black car with paint that good, thats not all swirled out. Mind you this guy used to paint cars when he was younger.

He says "the paint looks so wet, and reflective, is that cuz of that ceramic coating stuff you use?"

I just laugh and say yes, that is part of it.
