    Upgp

    How long do you guys let UPGP cure before you hit it with some detail spray? The bottle really doesn't say much about it. I have been letting it cure for 30-45 minutes depending on how hot it is. Is that sufficient for max results?

    I'd wait 24 hours. Not sure why you would want to use a detail spray on it after 45 min anyway.

    Or at least 12 hours.

    hot it is.

    •Whether it's after the first 45 minutes;
    or, even after the recommended 12 hrs.
    (so the "full" cure-time can be reached):

    1.) Unless there are any noticeable
    "streak(s)"; then:
    2.) There should be no need to hit the
    UPGP with a Detail Spray to remove
    said "streak(s)".


    •How goes that ol' saying?
    WOWA products are the best
    When they are touched less.

    No harm in leveling with a dry microfiber after completing a panel. Just a light swipe, as the product will have already flashed, aside from any High spots.

    Thanks for the link so the next question is if I did use too much and have a little streaking and do not have 12 hours to allow further curing, if I can apply a second coat in 45 minutes than a small spritz with a detail spray should not remove the product, right?

    See if just a soft MF without a detail spray will take the streaking off first tho. U want to try to avoid water based products as that may alter the curing of product. The 45 min window is for a second coat as the product bonds to itself.
