    How long to wait before applying 2nd coat of DGPS?

    How long do I need to wait before applying a 2nd coat of Wolfgang DGPS? Do I need to wait until after it has had time to cure? Or can I apply the 2nd coat after removing the 1st coat but before it has fully cured?

    Does the cure time vary based upon the relative humidity? I.e., if I live in arid Arizona, is the cure time faster than 12 hours?

    Thanks in advance!

    I’ve always waited at least 12hrs
    before “touching” an application
    of WDGPS with anything.

    Say you coat one day, let it cure for 12 hours and leave your vehicle outside overnight while it is curing. Should i wash again before applying second coat or just do a quick wipe down with a clean microfiber ?

    Moisture will diminish the bonding so I'd highly recommend you keep it as dry as possible. That also means dew can be a problem.

    so, while I have not used DGPS with other sealants, ive applied let it cure for hrs or overnight outside (remember I live in the middle of the desert) wiped it off and saw no ill issues. I actually just did this with a coating as well and it still came out great with no issues
