been at it hard, going around my truck one panel a day at a time. Geez seems like by the time I get it done. it'll be time to do it again.
anyways after all my claying, compounding and polishing, I applied the DG PBA and let it haze, then put a coat of DG 105 over it. I want to put another coat of the 105 on it, how long should I wait??? then how long should I wait to put my Natty's Blue Wax over it??
Is a couple of hours between each good enough, I have no garage, it rains twice a day, so I'm trying to finish up the last steps quickly.....Feed back please

You should wait 12-24 hours between applications to let it fully cure.
 
And it shouldnt be exposed to the elements.
 
Wow!
that's long time to wait for the 2nd coat of DG105.. I guess I can put my cover over it tonight. I also have to wait another 12 hours before the wax..
How do you guys handle a detail for a customer like that?
here's a couple more pics
 
Thats a good question. I think the majority only put on one coat. I dont use DG though. The sealant I use is ready for another coat within 20 minutes.
 
The information I received from Jerry at DG is that if you use the 610 (PBA) then you can immediately apply either another coat over the 601/105 duo or top it with AW immediately. The only time you need to wait is if you DO NOT use the 601..that's exactly why I use it, it saves a lot of time.
 
ok if you use the 601 with the 105 you can apply another coat right away but can you top it with another product?like a nuba or spray wax?

Yup..but Jerry did say that applying most Carnubas will eliminate a %'age of 105. Collinite is the best choice for not doing that, according to him. A 2nd coat of 105 or periodic applications of AW will give all the protection you need.
 
so a spray sealnt or a polymer based spray wax would probably be best to top it being similar to AW.

Any idea if this goes for an acrylic glaze, like chem-guys ez-creme?

Don't know about the ez creme..I follow it up with DG 105 and then AW and get fantastic results. I tried TOL's trade secret and wasn't impressed..AW looked better, IMO

 
FWIW, on my PU, I did 601/105, waited a week and did another 105, and now AW once per month. Seems to be a good system.
 
After a while, I will throw on some Liquid Souveran just for grins. It doesn't last long but looks great and feels like butter--just glides on. On silver paint its terrific but the durability definitely lacks. To me, its more of a time killer when I just want to play with the paint.

Seems like the DG 521 leaves the paint nearly as slick, is easier to apply, and cleans the paint too.

Once a month I'll pop on the AW which combines well with the 521. Seems like the whole DG line meshes well which works for me 'cause I'm a fan of many DG products.
