What he did state is that the last micron of paint is the last cure and due to the outgassing will be the softest for the longest time. He said what you don’t want use is any product that has chemical reaction with the surface of the paint and chemically attachs to the surface of the paint because it could penetrate the last micro of the surface and chemically mix and change the properties of the paint..... |
Now that actually makes sense. Thank you!

The “consensus” is irrelevant. The paint calls the shots, not the crowd.
If you want to put your faith in a random mob; It’s your paint, your call. If you want to follow the advice of the people who designed, developed and manufactured
your paint (not to mention oversee quality control and track life cycle performance); you’ll find out what
the manufacturer recommends.
