Hi Gang

I finally ran out of my NXT and got some UPW . Just so I know does the the old swipe test work with the paste or is there another method i should use. Seems like theres been a ton of ult liquid talk . So i'm just making sure.

Thanks

The swipe test usually works with UPW. However, if after five minutes it still streaks, it is still ready to be taken off.
IME UPW acts like a normal wax and passes the swipe test when ready to be removed, but ULW does not dry the majority of the time.

Thanks for the reply. I have went to a 1hr dry time due to the humidity down here in Fla. Seems to be working

You can use a slightly dampe cloth if needed to help removal.

I use UPW all the time in a tropical climate. So long as you apply it very thinly, removing it shouldn't be a problem.

If you have an electric polisher using the aplicator pad and spreading it around a bit, then the machine to get it even on the spot you're working it with, the wax will get worked well like a nice lotion on your skin. Do the entire car and like you mentioned wait depending on the conditons to take it off. Seems your a paste user so you know what I'm talking about.

Ultimate Wax in paste form definitely behaves a bit differently on the paint than the liquid version does. It behaves in a more "traditional" way in that it will dry to a haze and the swipe test still works. But it does easily apply in a very thin coat and wipes off extremely easily. Keep in mind that even though the liquid version won't stain black plastic trim, but the ingredients that make the paste a paste will stain that trim, so use a bit of care when applying it.

Thanks for all the replys everyone. I love the gloss I have now but I think my color is one of those in between colors for nxt of upw . I'm down here in Fla so it will definitely be a torture test for it . I was getting 3-4mths out of nxt so I'm interested to see what happens .
