DP Poli-Coat Cure Time...

[Action Detail]

Boy... I've searched... I cannot seem to find what the cure time is for DP Poli-Coat sealant. Anybody know???

As with most sealants, likely 8-24 depending on your specific environment. (Likely why its not defined, every environment can indeed enhance/delay the curing process)

how long would it take down here in s. fl?

Give it a good 12hrs and you should be fine.

I always just wait till the next day. I know the standard reply is usually "12 hours", but if you actually apply exactly 12 hours apart, one of your applications will either be really early in the morning or really late in the evening. I don't know about you guys/girls, but I like to sleep in whenever possible and I have a lot of other things I'd rather do at night than wax my car!

So by cure time do you mean how long to let it sit on the car without buffing it out, or just time to wait before applying any wax if that was in your plans??

Before applying another layer of wax/sealant.

you can remove the sealant once it flashes and cures. To add another level or a wax topper allow full curing which can take an additional 8-24 hours.

I find in Florida, heat and humidity, no real loss of durability after 8-10 hours but really depends on time of day for first coat. I dont relish adding a coat of sealant late in the evening especially since wife might lock me out :props:
