    Lightbulb Quick detailer and paint sealant bonding?

    I recently washed, clayed, polished (some of the truck) and applied paint sealant. My issue was it took me so long i did not want to apply the sealant when i was done because evening dew would be setting in in about 4 hours. I had to finish it up the next morning. I have no garage and i live in an apartment, so i wiped the dust off that gathered on it overnight with WG QD, I didn't know what else to do. Will this cause the paint sealant to not bond properly? Please help this noob in need . P.S. anyone live in the indianapolis area.

    I think it may affect the bonding slightly, to the extent I don't know though. I hope Nick or someone could comment on this.

    If you read the product page it says it leaves a thin coating of protection, and that it needs to cure before you can apply another coat.

    About 12 hrs is a average time for sealant curing and that can be affected by humidity. Anything you place on it during that time might affect the sealant. As for applying the WG QD before the sealant I personally would do a wipedown before putting on the sealant. IPA,Eraser or similar product would work just fine IMO. You are finding that Indiana weather is not your friend this time of year lol.

    Good questions, actually a fairly common question... also a question I answered in 2004 on MOL...

    A question on wax bonding and the potential for interference by a quick detailer?
