How long to wait between wax coats?

Hi I have 2009 Red Honda Civic Si. I'm gonna use Wolfgangs Paint sealant. I also have Pinnacle Souveran Paste and Liquid. How long should I wait before I use Pinnacle Souveran on top of Wolfgangs? Is there any advantage to using the Paste Souveran wax over the Liquid Souveran? Thanks

Usually you would give the sealant 12-24 hours to cure before applying the wax over it. Souveran liquid and paste are 2 totally different waxes. The liquid will last longer than the paste. I know the liquid was polycharged, but I don't know if it still is. The paste will last you a couple weeks only. The paste will look better on red, black and yellow.

At least 12 hrs

Is Wolfgang's Paint Sealant a good product to use or should I stay with Pinnacle waxes?

I always use wolfgang DGPS. I used it with fuzion, RBOE, souveran, P21S 100% and right now with supernatural as a topper.

Would it be okay to use Wolfgang's first then follow with Liquid Souveran 12 hours later then a final coat of Souveran Paste 12 after the liquid? Would this combo. make a red car shine!

It will if you preped it right, but I think that's overkill. Put 2 coats of 3.0 12 hrs. apart and 12 hrs. latter use one or the other.

Hey loud, which nuba did you like best over 3.0? I don't have RBOE. Thanks

Cure the sealant for 12 hours after buffing it off? Then do you wash the car and then top with another layer of sealant? Then wait 12 more hours then wash again and top with a wax? or can you just do a quick detailer after each curing session? All depending on the environment of course. I am in MA, but my car isn't garaged and I don't have a cover.

Yes, let the sealant cure for 12 hrs. after removing. You can't have moisture touch your paint for 12hrs. while curing. Might be hard to do with no garage, but I guess if the weather forecast is no rain then start early and by the time the sun sets you'll be ok. If no rain that night you could QD or do an ONR wash. Start the process all over and then 12 hrs. later you can wax.
