| | | Rain and WDGS?
I spent all day yesterday using the PC polishing the car to get it ready to apply Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant today. The drought in Dallas is getting a much needed rain today.
Can I still apply the WDGS with the car in the garage? I had planed on leaving the car in the garage until tomorrow to allow the sealant to cure. But is the humidity (currently 97%) going to cause me a problem? Am I better of waiting for another day?

| | | I'd apply it in the garage whenever possible. I don't know about the humidity but I don't think it would be a factor since it's used in Florida alot.
You better have taken sum pics bro! |

| | | The garage should be adequate. Humidity just slows the curing process somewhat. We deal with it consistently in Fl. |

Last week the humidity was bad i had a hard time with products streaking,let me know if this is a problem with WG. I suspect it might be but if it does dont worry about the streaks wait until the WG cures then hit it with a QD that is comparable with WG sealants.. |

| | | Thanks everyone. I worked on it this afternoon. Everyone always comments how easy it is to remove WDGS. Now I understand why they say that. Just amazing! I applied it with a faom applicator to the entire car and let it sit for a half hour before I started removing it. It is in the garage now. Good thing too as it is raining still. Tomorow I hope to apply another coat.
I'll post pictures when it stops raining!

| | | after the intial 12 hours to cure, a damp towel or qd'er will remove any streaking from most sealants. |

I do not see any real streaking with Wolfgang or UPP. But some sealants get a little finicky with humidity. PB and Werkstatt had some minor ... but both easily removed with a little qd'er. |

| | | Reviving this thread to ask this:
I just finished removing some swirls from my car with the two-stage Menzerna polishes. As I was finishing, it looked like it was going to rain, so I put on the Klasse AIO and held off on the WDGS. The forecast calls for rain tonight (and I don't have a garage).
I assume it was correct not to apply the WDGS since it needs at least 12 rain-free hours to cure.
Question: If it rains tonight but is dry and clear tomorrow, what should I do? A Quick Detailer and then the Wolfgang? | | |
