    Beautiful car!

    I didn't know UPGP worked that well. I almost figured it as an optically clear sealant that adds gloss but doesn't add the warmth/glow/etc of a paste wax, but it turned out excellent.

    First time using it, was really impressed. I wanted to put 3 coats on, as I heard 3 is the magic number but ran out of time. When I got up to PA the car was covered in bugs, some Ultima Waterless Wash and Adams towels and the bugs and dirt came right off. I used 22 oz of UWW to wipe the car down and about 10 Adams towels.
