Quik question about Mckee's Paint Coating

[Eldorado2k]

Is a 24hr. curing time absolutely necessary? What about morning dew? Is it critical to avoid morning dew as well?

You'll be fine. I've let mine cure for 5 or so hours and had it get wet with no issues.

Ok cool. I want to try it out on a panel on my car, but it's already 4pm. and the dew will be here tonight and I wasn't sure. I'm gonna clay, machine polish with Griots Perfecting Cream, IPA, then coat.

Gotcha. You'll like it. I usually do two coats to insure full coverage.

It's been holding up extremely well on my wife's van.

Here it is after a week of driving in the rain and fall muck as it sat in our driveway being rained on. Snapped these before I left the other day. Not bad for a dirty car.

Nice beading... Better yet, I'm gonna use Essence, then coat.

There you go. I did that on my S4 but the not yet on the van. I'll wait to hit the van with Essence and re coat it in the spring. The only thing left to do on the van is clean it up for winter and for the sake of it, top it with Essence Plus, necessary or not. It will fulfill my OCD Needs.

Essence and McKee's Paint Coating are my go-to for many of my details.

Ok, so I applied Mckee's paint coating to the left side of my hood.



And the sealant of my choice [which shall remain nameless] on the right.



It applied easy enough, no problems. I'll remove the tapeline tomorrow morning to avoid any possible dusting from it. I also applied the paint coating across all my trunklid.

It's just after 2pm. and as expected the rain started coming down a half hour ago...

I applied a second coat after 12 hours without any problems.

Not that I was really think about it, but what does the manufacturer recommend as far as a 2nd coat?
