I was applying 22PL glass coating today and about 3 hours application I noticed it was getting very humid outside and before I could get the car inside I noticed a very fine mist on the car. How bad is that? Anything I should do? I was going to be applying a second coat in the morning.... any advice is apprecated

I have no experience with this coating, but I have a couple questions?
How long did you have to wait for the initial cure?
Did you do a wipe down in the morning?
Was there a haziness to the paint when you inspected it?

Whether it's 22ple VX1 Signature or Pro Glass Coating...

Their application instructions include these "steps" (my bolding):

6. Tact time (do not wash car or expose the car to open weather elements...rain, snow etc) is around 8~12 hours.

7. After this initial curing time, the car can be washed or driven per normal.

8. The full curing time is about 5 days, at which time the full layer of the coat will be hardened and the surface will look its best.
