drying time
 

What is a good rule of thumb for drying/curing times of car wax. My product being used right now is nxt 2.0. is there something i'm looking for in its appearence on the car, or to the touch?? I used one mf towl on the hood to take it off but I still got a little streaking(looked like lack of wax removal). I kept tuning my mf when taking off and buffing so I don't know what my problem was, and thats where my question comes from on drying/curing time.

thanks,

I don't think its your drying time .. it sounds like your applying too much .. NXT should be applied very thin. Use a yellow sponge applicator.

1 oz should do your car.

OMG!! 1 oz, crap I totally did too much....is there anything I should do at this point?? just let the car be for a few months and try the right approach next time?? Yellow Sponge Applicator, where do I buy one of these...

Put it out in the sun for several minutes. That will thin the oils out, and allow for a more thorough re-wipe. No problem. Next time just the little yellow 4" apps
Also try a little quick detailer when removing this time.

thankyou...I did go over it the next day with some qd, but havn't driven it to see if it helped, hopefully tomarrow i'll get it out in the sun and check again...thankyou guys

NXT comes with a purple applicator which is the same as the yellow ones.

If all else fails just redo it in a day or 2. It will clean everything up.

NXT is a lot like Megs #21 and I get 30+ cars out of the same sized bottle.

so when you say re-do it, just apply (a very thin layer) wax on the car again...I have a read a few things about a swipe test?? with running your finger over the wax..anything on this subject

just remember when using synthetic sealant, thin to win....the thinner the better.....less is more approach...

Swipe might apply to wax .. this is a sealant.
