I love this stuff, absolutely my favorite sealant. The only drawback is the long cure time, which does not allow me to apply more than one coat when detailing somebody else's car. How about developing a cure accelerator such as the one used with Zaino? This would make it a lot more convenient to apply. Most people agree that 3 layers is the magic number, but to accomplish this, I have to leave my car parked in the garage for 2 days without taking it out; otherwise, I have to rinse it in between. Having a faster cure time would take care of these issues.

I have found that the longer PGP cures (up until maybe 24 hours), the better. Also 3x coats is a must. Also thin coats.
