Collinite 845 is one product

WGDPS - Wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant is another product.

The title of the thread is Wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant, so I would say yes he's talking about the wolfgang sealant (the only one they have).

You should wait 45 minutes for the sealant to cure before removing the excess. It makes a big difference in the looks and the longevity.

Can anyone address this statement made some time ago? I was under the impression WGDGPS 3.0 is a wipe on-wipe off product that did not need to haze or be left on for a period of time prior to removal? Is there any truth to Blackthorn's comment? I use this product regularly and would like to ensure I'm doing all I can to maximize it's efficiency.

First:
There's a difference between
"cure" time, and "drying" time.

Secondly:
(Not so Technically speaking), WDGPS is
not a wipe-on and then turn around and
(almost) immediately wipe-(it)-off product.

Rather:
•Once it's applied...
-You need to wait and let it "dry"
for ~30-45 minutes before buffing.
-Then it needs to remain moisture
free for the proceeding 12 hour
"cure"-time.

This has been the recommended
procedure, in order to achieve the
best results, for as long as I've been
using the 3.0 version of WDGPS.

Thanks Bob, after your input matches that of what the AG product page has for WGDGPS...but I swear I read the instructions on the bottle itself and they were vastly different. I need to check on that this evening when I get home. Though I'm 99% sure I got my product instructions mixed up in my head...

The directions on my bottle say to just let it dry to a haze, the directions on the product page say to let it dry 30-45 minutes.

I wonder why the difference?

Ignore both instructions and perform a Swipe Test instead. That's the true way to tell if a "SEALANT" is ready to wipe off or not.

Perform a brisk swipe on the panel, if the area you swiped is smudgy then its not ready. If the area you swipe is crystal clear and you can see the paint below - its ready to buff off.

Menzerna powerlock for me is ready in 15 mins or so. Recently I applied Collinite 845 and it took more than 45 mins...all comes down to the swipe.

Thanks! I've seen that video but forgotten all about it, information overload.

I hope I'll be able to tell the difference on white paint.

•I don't see there being a difference.
-In 30-45 minutes the WDGPS should be
"dry" enough to form that "haze".

-When this particular Sealant "hazes",
it will, most assuredly, pass the swipe test.

Ignore both instructions and
perform a Swipe Test instead.

That's the true way to tell if a "SEALANT"
is ready to wipe off or not.

^^^Not really, IMO.^^^

•Note:
-Being that there are WO/WA Sealants; as
well as "WO(n)/WO(ff)-right away" Sealants...
-The act of: "passing the swipe test"
can't always be the metric to use for
Sealants and their being "ready".
