Thread: Water beading - Ultima Paint Guard Plus

  1. #1

    Default Water beading - Ultima Paint Guard Plus

    I did a light two stage polish on the car, did a touch-up clay with ultra-fine clay and tried out some new sealant I am testing out.

    So here was the steps:

    1. Clay with Sonus Ultra-fine grade clay
    2. Optimum polish with CCS white pad at speed 6 on the PC
    3. Werkstatt Prime Acrylic with CCS grey finishing pad at speed 5 on PC
    4. Top with Ultima Paint Guard Plus - 2 layers

    I am really liking the Ultima Paint Guard Plus. The application is super easy and durability is incredible! It really takes only 10 minutes to apply a layer of it. Wipe on and walk away. The surface is also super slick and reflective. I applied to the wheels and after a week of driving, most of the brake dust just hoses off! I applied two layers to the car and waited 12 hours in between to allow proper curing of the sealant. It is rated up to 6 months of protection per application... but I would say 3-4 months tops if you drive every day.

    On to the pics:

    Here's me polishing with the Optimum... kinda a quickie job (applied kinda thick) but mainly wanted to properly prep the surface to accept the Ultima sealant.


    Water beading shots... this is after 3 weeks of daily driving, the surface is still super slick to the touch, glossy and sealant is holding up good in the recent storms we're getting.

    Hey ZK, I use the Jeff Werkstatt prime also, and love it. But why don't you use the Acrylic top coat they have? That stuff last forever.

    I have Acrylic Jett and have been using it for a while now. I like it but the Ultima Paint Guard Plus so far is more durable and takes much less time to apply. Otherwise, the Acrylic Jett has a very nice finish as well.

    Oh, another great thing about the Ultima sealant. It seals plastic too.. not just smooth stuff like your headlights - it works on textured plastic. I haven't tried it on the interior... but exterior plastics have been treated and they look great.

    They do have a separate plastic sealant product but I don't see why you'd need it as the Paint Guard Plus works on plastic as well.
