For sure, GC Trim Detailer is WATERBASED. Everytime I wash my car, it starts streaking (property of being a waterbased product).

I think UC is WATERBASED too, however, is has additional polymers to add durability.

Thanks, guys!

Re: UP and GC Trim Detailer, waterbased?

Yes, both are water based. Typically, water based products do tend to wash off in the rain or when the car is washed - that's just what happens with a typical water based product. But UP contains some specialized polymers that allow it to bond to a surface much the way a sealant bonds to paint, so it sticks around a lot longer.

The really important things to keep in mind when applying UP are:

• clean the surface thoroughly before application - M39 or even glass cleaner works well
• work the product thoroughly into the surface, sort like when applying a paint cleaner to paint, but use it very sparingly - a little goes a long, long way
  • you know how normally people say to apply a dressing, wait a bit, then wipe off the excess? If you apply UP correctly there is no excess to wipe off. If there is, you did it wrong.
