I have never used the 3.0 and read the directions. I hear everyone say that you need to wait 45 min before you can remove it. Why doesn't it say that in the directions? Also I want to apply more than one layer, how long between coats should I wait? Finally will 3 coats be any different than 2 coats? Is anything over 2 coats worth it I guess is what I mean.

I think i read somewhere that you can benefit from 2 coat of wax/sealant but anything more is a waste of product.

I do wait an hour to remove the sealer, I also do 2 coats of sealer 24 hours apart from each other, and 2 coats of wax, also 24 hours part from each other... ( you wait at least 24 hours so the wax/sealer can cure) I only do my own cars.

If I remember correctly, one of the reason it is recommended to do 2 coats is in case you had applied too thin, or miss a small spot, then most likely you will get it on the next round, and it might also give you a bit more protection.

If you want to give it anything else other than the 2 coats of WDPS 3.0, then I will suggest a wax, since with the right combo, you can get a dipper shine, and or, wetter look depending on what color paint you are working on.

When your waiting 24 hour to cure, do you have to use QD to get any dust before applying another layer?

I have my car park outside 24/7 and I find that if I wait that long the car isn't 100% clean.

Well, it depends on how much dirt is in it, you could do a ONR, or a waterless wash, even a regular wash would be fine...

BTW, I see you are in Jersey, where at? I'm in White Plains NY. might not be that far away from you.

(BRB. Have to run and take a couple of shots of the eclipse... If I can't detail, I guess I'm taking pictures... Sad, I know!!! LOL)
