| | | Do you guys think it is a good idea to drive a freashly waxed car?
What do you guys think about taking a freashly waxed car out for a drive, is it bad? Do most of you guys wait 12hr for all of the solvent to outgass? |

| | | Unless it is bad weather or you are going mudding or something, I don't see that anything could do any harm.

| | | I tend to do my personal detailing when I know I can let it sit...
Inevitably something gets on the finish and comprimises my cure... Whether it be an unexpected shower, windshield wiper fluid from the car in front on me, bird dropping etc.
Obviously waiting for products to cure prior to driving is not always possible BUT in a perfect world I would wait |

| | Don't worry about it. Just drive it. You will be hitting it with another coat or switching lsp before this coat of wax wears out anyway.  |

| | | For wax, I just go drive the car. Now sealant, you have to let that cure of course, and make sure no water touches freshly sealed paint. |
