    Amount of time before buff off of wdgps3.0




    I believe that the amount of time you must leave the wdgps on the car before you wipe it off is 45 minutes. Would there be any benefit to letting the product stay on the car for a longer period of time?

    Also after the sealant has cured for at least 12 hours per coat and you than want to top it with a couple of coats of Fuzion how long do you wait between coats of the Fuzion?

    Thanks

    I have always left the sealant on for longer than an hour before removing Stu. As far as seeing a difference , no I haven't. The rule of thumb is to let a nuba cure for 24 hours before adding a second coat.

    What about in the sun when the car is hot?

    Why would you apply anything in the sun?

    Some of us that operate mobile may not have access to a garage/car-port/shade tree on certain jobs. Sometimes all we have to work with is the area that the customer provides us.

    Regardless though, I have a 20x20 portable canopy, so the only thing I really do in the sun is wash (drying done under the canopy)

    I let it sit at least 45 mins and if passes the swipe test I buff it out.

    yep I as well do 45 minutes, then a minimum of 12 hours before 1-2 coats of wax.

    Thanks for your feedback Dana and everyone else who replied to the question.

    Dana or anyone else with a thought on this question,
    Is it better to apply the Fuzion by hand or with my Flex 3401? I know that you must use only a thin coat and I was wondering if using the Flex will enable you to apply a thin coat more evenly.

    I would apply by hand.. One panel at a time, then remove.
