ht-69 long dry time?

[3wide]

hey new guy here



any one have trouble with a long dry time with ht-69? humidiy was normal for iowa summer but after 2 hours still not dry! ran out of time/patience and removed it any way and left a haze, removed that with a qd so it looks good now. wasn`t fully dry so i doubt if it bonded. was appling and removing by hand on a 6 month old black car.

The only suggestion I can make is to apply it very thin and fully work it in. I have found HT-69 to be a very user-friendly product.

I have never used it by hand



but I am almost sure that you applied it too thick or you did not work if long enough

it has a polish in it that I am not sure if it can be broken down by hand

it might cause more harm than good if you can`t break down the polish!

i figured miss-application might be my problem, i`m new to sealants, exspecially ht-69. i started out working it in more but it seem like most of the product was gone, didn`t think anything would be left to dry and seal the paint. i`ll try it again with that method.



does any one have any experience appling ht-69 by hand? might i be better off with some other sealant since i`m not using a power tool?

I`ve used HT-69 by hand to get at those locations where I could`t get a machine to work due to space or shape constraints.



I used a terry-wrapped foam applicator, and used very little product. Work it by hand until it just about disappears into the paint. Wipe off any remaining residue with a quality MF. Used this way removal is a breeze.



Good luck.

did you wipe if off imediately? would the poduct have enought time to stick and protect, doing it this way?

Yes, I work it until it just about disappears and then I wipe off immediately. Here is the description from the TOL site:



Paint Perfection Glaze may applied by orbital or rotary polisher, or by hand. PPG`s formula is idiot proof, even on black! All you need is a small amount worked over the surface until it disappears. Follow with a light wipe of a terry towel or terry polisher bonnets. Any of our Carnauba paste waxes may be applied over PPG for added depth of color.

I believe it`s more of a 1-step product than cherry wax, as it can remove minor swirls and oxidation as well as leave some protection. Works very well via PC.
