been at it hard, going around my truck one panel a day at a time. Geez seems like by the time I get it done. it'll be time to do it again.
anyways after all my claying, compounding and polishing, I applied the DG PBA and let it haze, then put a coat of DG 105 over it. I want to put another coat of the 105 on it, how long should I wait??? then how long should I wait to put my Natty's Blue Wax over it??
Is a couple of hours between each good enough, I have no garage, it rains twice a day, so I'm trying to finish up the last steps quickly.....

You should wait 12-24 hours between applications to let it fully cure.

And it shouldnt be exposed to the elements.

Wow!
that's long time to wait for the 2nd coat of DG105.. I guess I can put my cover over it tonight. I also have to wait another 12 hours before the wax..
How do you guys handle a detail for a customer like that?
here's a couple more pics

Thats a good question. I think the majority only put on one coat. I dont use DG though. The sealant I use is ready for another coat within 20 minutes.

Which sealant would that be?

The information I received from Jerry at DG is that if you use the 610 (PBA) then you can immediately apply either another coat over the 601/105 duo or top it with AW immediately. The only time you need to wait is if you DO NOT use the 601..that's exactly why I use it, it saves a lot of time.

ok if you use the 601 with the 105 you can apply another coat right away but can you top it with another product?like a nuba or spray wax?

Yup..but Jerry did say that applying most Carnubas will eliminate a %'age of 105. Collinite is the best choice for not doing that, according to him. A 2nd coat of 105 or periodic applications of AW will give all the protection you need.

so a spray sealnt or a polymer based spray wax would probably be best to top it being similar to AW.
