least cure time?, DG101

Hey, I just used use my foam gun for the first time. It was fun, it will take some getting used to. I started to get the 'lead the mitt' technique. My shmitt did not get very dirty at all on the lower panels. I think that the constant foam helped draw the dirt away from the mitt. I will try it with a mitt that hold more water next time. Maybe, a micro-chenile mitt.
It has been raining like crazy in Orlando, I decided to re-wax.

< What is the least amount of cure time on DG101?
I was thinking about giving it 6 hours.
I dont have alot of time, I plan on getting up around 3am and applying liquid souveran. Hopefully I can dodge the rain by not going anywhere after 12 tommorow. haha...

You can leave the 101 on by its self since its a all in one product. Wait till this weekend and the rewash and hit it with the wax. I have left 101 on by its self for up to 2 weeks at a time. you maybe surprised.

6 hrs, though not enough, should give you some decent durability

I guess a 12h cure time this is one of those rules you just cant break.
I will have to let the 101 stay on for at least a day.
Thanks for the advice.

Mike
