With the heat & humidity yesterday I ended up with a few high spots that I couldn't level. I should have ordered some regular CQ but I risked it.
Do high spots ever cure or bake out in the sun? I am trying to avoid polishing these spots out and redoing them. Any suggestions are appreciated.
I will reserve CQUK for cooler weather, worked awesome over the winter. But the 88 deg and 80%+ humidity yesterday bit me in the ass.

Fixing High Spots
The longer it cures the harder it gets but right now those high spots will come off pretty easy with some Reflect finishing polish even by hand with a wipe or two. The bad side is it is easy to damage the smoothness of the coating when it's still so soft which means it might not sheet in that area as well unless you add another coat over the panel. SO if you had a smear on ever panel it would be very time consuming. If its just a tiny little high spot then take a dot of reflect and apply directly to paint, then with a hand foam applicator just wipe once and check, then again if needed, remove completely with soft mf and your good. If its large areas or you over do it then its add another coat to that panel time. Alternately it might wipe off with a non abrasive pre-wax cleanser.
Alternately if it's your car you could wait till it hardens a few weeks and then do a faint wipe with the reflect.

Thanks Corey!
It's just a few spots here and there. I will wait for a cooler day (LoL) and for it to harden and hit them with Reflect then recoat them. Can I recoat with regular CQ since it is easier to work with in the Florida heat?
