Steelblue Neutral Newbie August 22, 2004 Share August 22, 2004 If I read correctly, for most sealants , it is recommended 24 hrs curing time so that it can bond properly to the paint. That is, only put a layer of wax or sealant after that time or else the bonding gets disrupted. .Even exposure to water will affect the durability of sealent..I learnt this the hard way it rained after I applied the sealant and it didn't last as long as before ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is, only put a layer of wax or sealant after that time or else the bonding gets disrupted. .Even exposure to water will affect the durability of sealent..I learnt this the hard way it rained after I applied the sealant and it didn't last as long as before Thats an interesting point. I also wondered if the Fusso needed one day to cure but in most detailing forums they layer on the wax after applying the sealant in one day so thats why i decided to go that way. Another point that helped in my judgement was the wax had no cleaning power whatsoever and should basically sit on top of the sealant and thus both would cure together. But all basically is still trial and error so we can only wait and see.. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leech Clutched August 25, 2004 Share August 25, 2004 Hi, you mentioned you have tried Zaino, Glare etc before. Are they that bad (not good enuff compared to your manual labor)? Would like to find out more as I do not have time/patience to do that on my car. Would rather spend more time with my baby... But again, the car is also another "baby"... Am thinking now of using Glare (50% off till end Sept). So would like to find out more... Can I go back to normal wax and polish even after using Glare? Thanks.

Leech Clutched August 25, 2004 Share August 25, 2004 What car you driving? Medium sized car charged only small sized category? You meant $194 + 5% GST right? Dun tell me they absorbed GST for you also? Where did you do your Glare? Any contacts? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
