I thought I have seen it here before but a quick search did not come up with anything.
TIA

It’s recommended with most sealants that you wait 24 hours.
Personally, I’ve never noticed a difference.

I believe the optimal wait for best durability is 24 hours. I have noticed that AJ`s slickness increases noticably a few hours after application, that might be a good sign AJ is mostly cured and can be topped with minimal durability issues.

any silver examples out there?
I`m looking to ditch SG.
But my FX 100 and 425 is staying!

I remember reading it as well. IIRC, it was reply to a cure time question. AJ rep said that after you finish applying AJ, you can start again from the beginning.
In this thread http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=58023&page=3&highlight=jett there is a quote but I believe it is related to Prime. Maybe the same cure times apply to AJ.

Here is a silver GP (http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=69080&highlight=silver) I did with AJ.

I just did a blue RX8 yesterday, I applied CJ right after I finished with AJ (customer`s car so cannot wait 24 hours for the curing) and the result is excellent too. I should be posting this blue RX8 soon, stay tune ;) .

Thanks everyone! Maybe I should just try CJ right after the 2nd coat of AJ on the wifes car. That way I will be able to see for myself how it does in the long run.
Jeff has stated a few hours between AJ and CJ. He also states that a wait of 12 to 24 could be better but may be overkill.
