Hey guys
So after I do my compound/polish and wash the car again...should I be claying again before applying the sealant?
I have some Menzerna Power lock. Once applied, are you suppose to just leave it on the car like that for 12 hours (that's what I read)?
I also read this:
Am I suppose to wipe the sealant off after like 30 minutes and then let it sit like that before applying the wax? Or really leave the haze product on the whole car for the 12 hours?
The problem is that I live in a humid area and dew falls at night...
Thanks,
Elliott

As far as cure times go just know that the the "cure" is just the cross-linking of the molecuels to give the protection. That's the difference in sealant and wax, sealant has the chemical reaction of cross-linking with the paint. Now with that being said 75-80% of that cross-linking takes place in the first 30 minutes. The remaining 25% or so cross links over the next 12-24 hours. If you only have a 30 minute cure time before topping it with something else don't worry you still got 3/4 of the car cross-linked. And don't worry about doing it outside either as once removed the cross-linking is a chemical reaction that isn't going to be bothered by debris getting on the paint.
I think "cure" times are a little overrated. After the 30 minute window you are pretty much covered it just takes a longer time to get that final 25%, and if you are topping it with a wax then you have added more protection on top of the 75% that has already cross-linked.
