I've read the directions on the container and looked for previous post but can't find how to apply. Do you wipe off right after applying or wait for a haze. Is it better to apply with a 7424 or by hand. Is it better to get product off with a 7424 or by hand.

The longer you wait to wipe it off the more durability you're supposed to get from it.

With that said I can't really get any durability out of it.

I have this product, but I don't consider myself an authority on this product.

I used it to clean up my white 6x12 Cargo Trailer a couple months back, with the PC7424XP, and a White LC Pad. It worked pretty nicely, and I was satisfied with the final results.

They state that this product does contain an abrasive polish, so one should get better paint correction by application with a DA, or Rotary Machine. The removal I don't think is critical, I removed it by hand, and it comes off fairly easy, yet has a bit of a "Glazy" quality when removing. I machine applied, then after complete application to the trailer, then removed it, just like a wax.

I further topped this product with Optimum Opti-Seal, and again, the results seemed quite nice. Mark

You don't have to wait to wipe it off. Just work it on a panel then remove the residue. Sometimes I will do half a car then remove...but that's more about me and my time than the product.

You may try letting it stay on the paint a little longer before wiping off the residue...or you can always top it with OptiSeal in about 10 minutes.

The 2nd quote was your answer to me when I asked about lack of durability. So is what I stated above correct (about waiting before wipe off) or has that changed? I just don't want to give out false information.
