    XMT 360: how long before applying sealant?

    I'm going to be using XMT360 for the first time tomorrow and I was wondering how long I should wait before applying another sealant on-top of it since the XMT is basically and AIO. Should I wait the normal 12 hours like you would if you were doing a second coat of sealant or can I put a coat of sealant on right after I'm done with the XMT?

    I would wait the normal 12 hours. What sealant are you wanting to top it with..

    I use 360 all the time as a pre-clean light correction product all the time and I top it right away since it is not my primary protection product.

    I always pick it up when they go on BOGO, but it would be nice if they put the larger bottles (unlike the 12 oz.) on BOGO too.

    Re: XMT 360: how long before applying sealant?

    I have waited 12 hours to 24 hours after applying XMT360 until I apply a final LSP but I mostly just apply an LSP directly after applying 360 because I have found it makes no difference in terms of the durability of either 360 or the LSP of choice. I find that 360 actually has a reasonable amount of protection for an AIO, sometimes I have seen more than a month of standalone protection but it is not my protection product therefore I don't really mind if the LSP affects the base layer of 360 as it has already done its job of cleansing and prepping the paint.

    I would at least let it cure for a hour or so, it can't hurt. Either way, do a test spot first to be sure you get the results you are looking for, has the car already been polished before this step?
