    Advice please

    How are you guys applying coatings to vehicles outside with now garage access for the cure time? I would like to coat my truck but have no access to a garage for the cure time to ensure that no rain/water would get on the vehicle in the first 24 hours. Id like to use the cquk and the dlux on everything else just not sure how to go about it.

    IMO coatings really aren`t made for outdoor application. The success or failure of them IMO is the prep and application. But you need the correct settings to accomplish this as well.

    You basically need to make sure that you can get everything polished & prepped other than the wipe-down the day before and then on the following day do your Eraser wipe-down and coat. Just need to make sure you do the coating early so the sun and heat doesn`t mess up the coating process and also make sure its not going to rain.

    Yeah I`d say apply early morning before the sun comes up too high (consider dew as well as that would interfere with it), keep an eye on the weather forecast, and hope a bird doesn`t bomb it. All that aside, once the coating is applied and leveled out, taking it out in the direct sunlight will help speed up the curing time.
