OK here is a simple question that I think I know the answer to but just want to confirm.

Will QD sprays like FK 425 effect the durability of sealants like DP poli-seal or WG Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 if applied before the recommended cure time? Wouldn't it have the same effects of exposing it to moisture?

Thanks for your thoughts ~~ Yale:bowdown:

I have seen no appreciable difference in a sealants longevity when using detail sprays over them. From time to time I have noticed a shift from beading/sheeting of water based upon the spray however.

During the cure exposing the polymers to liquid (inlcuding QD sprays) will most likely drown them and compromise the cure.

The following are some of the variables that will affect the level of compromise:
What Sealant
What QD
How many hours into the cure
The temperature and humidity
