On the Wolfganf web sight, they say to apply over entire vehicle,
remove residue after 30-40 minutes.

On the bottle it say's, work in small areas at a time. Then remove residue.

What is the right way to use this product ?

Thank you for your help.Feed back please
 
The way I understand it and use it, is like this:
Work in small areas when applying sealant. Do the entire vehicle and wait 45 minutes and then remove.
 
Work in small areas, WG is particular, work it in 3" by 3" sections as crazy as that sounds.





























:D , you can basically go panel to panel until your done and then wait to haze and buff off.
 
:whs: wolfgang dgps is a nice product how i do it it apply it 2X2 or 3X3 to the whole vehicle then take a break for 40-50 mins then come back to buff it off.
 
how long after do you ahve to wait till you cna top it with a wax? like pinnacle
 
I apply it to the whole vehicle, let it haze for 30 minutes or so, the buff off.
 
right on, so there is no cure time, after done buffing you cna move right to wax?

You really should wait 24 hours to let any sealant cure before topping with a wax. There may be a few exceptions but it would be beneficial to let the sealant cure and bond before a wax.

:whs: Best to give it at least 12 hours if you can before topping it.
 
Do you guys/gals usually put 1 or 2 coats of Wlofgang DGPS?
 
Two coats of a sealant for best durability and coverage. Allow at least 12 hours prior to topping Wolfgang with a wax. And you should allow the sealant to cure (crosslink) to paint for a while prior to buffing, while with the Pinnacle waxes they can be buffed off immediately.
 
I used the Wolfgang TSR and Menzerna 85RD yesterday. Applied the DGPS lastnite. I'll apply another of DGPS coat later today, then apply the souveran paste tomorrow.
 
My order for WDGPS is coming soon. So as I understand this:
- apply to small sections at a time, but do the entire vehicle before buffing
- wait 30-45 minutes (have a beer or two), then buff off
- wait at least 12 hours before applying another layer (of either another WDGPS or wax)

After 12 hours, do you guys re-wash the vehicle before applying the next layer? Or just layer it on? (the vehicle will be garaged during the whole 12 hours)
 
Just layer it. As the text for DGPS says" it's a water based, oxygen activated paint sealant". If it hasn't fully cured in 12 hours, and you wash it, it will break down the polymers. Usually sealants take between 12-24 hours to cure. The key words in the directions is "let stand AT LEAST 12 hours". Meaning more if possible.
 
If it's garaged I would just layer it, if you want you could take a micro fiber towel and just wipe the car down real quick to remove dust then layer it again.

I have never applied two coats of Wolfgang DGPS.
1. Now do you apply one coat wait 30-40mins then buff off then let it cure for 12-24 hours to apply the second coat of Wolfgang DGPS?
2. Or do you apply one coat of DGPS wait 30-40 mins. Buff off the first coat. After the first coat is completely buff off apply the second coat of DGPS and wait again for 30-40 mins. To buff off the second coat. Then let it cure for 12-24 hours.
Which one is right? Or can someone just beak it down for me I’m having a brain fart

Just curious.....what is the benefit of applying DGPS to small sections at a time, (2X2 or 3X3), when you're not wiping it right off as soon as you've applied it? I always thought the only two purposes of applying ANYTHING to small sections at a time were either to work in abrasives-if it's an abrasive paint correcting product-or to minimize the degree to which the product has a chance to dry out before you get to wipe it off, if it happens to be a product that wipes off better wet than dry. But seeing as DGPS is a product that is neither abrasive nor WOWO......I don't see the benefit of limiting your working space to 2X2 or 3X3 sections. Are you working the product in like a polish, and if so why?
