I'm a volunteer EMT. For years I've used one of my weekly duty nights to get car work done at the station. This includes oil changes, repairs, swapping wheels, and washing. Since buying my new car I've been using time to wash and then leaf blower the car dry. Snuck a wax in a few weeks back. But I got lucky. No calls went off when I was applying it or else it would have sat in the garage covered in wax for 1-2 hours and if it was a fire call, could have been 3hrs+.
Now once my order arrives from Chemical Guys I plan on stripping off the wax I put on with the citrus wash, blowing it dry, sealing on top of the clear coat, and then waxing on top of that. I estimate that'll take me 4-6 hours accounting for interruptions. I've seen people say to work panel by panel, but I've never had much luck limiting water/wax to just one panel. There's always been over spray. With any of the CG products, is there going to be any damage done if they are left on the car for an hour or two?
The products in question are...
Citrus Wash
Jet Seal
Quick Detailer
TVD
Inner Clean
and then Collinite 845 for wax.
EDIT: I should add that I'd have between 30 seconds and 1 minute to do whatever before having to drop everything and get in the truck. Not sure if that helps.
Any other advice for leaving flexibility to pause the job other than trying to go panel by panel?
Thanks
