    UPP dry time and wax?

    Hey guys, i was wondering with the UPP, it says to put a small layer on, so it will dry faster. After this first layer they say not to put on another layer for 24hrs... i guess my question is how durable is this first layer? is it ok to drive the car normally with this one layer on? how does 1 layer of this stuff compare with a layer of wax, anyone have any ideas? heh
    Also is it worth putting a layer of wax on top of the UPP? or is UPP strong enough on it`s own? how many layers of UPP would you recommend? thanks a lot for reponses guys! i know i`m a detailing noob D:

    Unofficial opinions based on my experience.
    1. Probably about average for a sealant, maybe 90 to 120 days.
    2. Definitely. Just be sure to wash the car before adding another coat.
    3. Looks better and lasts longer than most.
    4. It isn`t for me.
    5. Yes.
    6. Two, with 24 hours between them. Then add another coat every 4 to 6 weeks.

    Be sure to use a good cleaner such as the Platinum Paint Cleaner or Klasse AIO before your first application. After the first coat, the cleaner isn`t necessary when adding more UPP.
    Also, be sure to let the UPP dry 30 to 45 minutes before you remove it. Apply thin coats.

    Charles, your word is as good as mine as far as I`m concerned. I couldn`t have said it better myself.
