How long do you fellas let the sealant haze for? Today was around 78 degrees and I let it properly haze (around 2-3 minutes) and it was a nightmare to buff out! I did this to 3 panels and for the rest of the car I let it sit for around 30 seconds and immediately buffed it out (carnauba style.) Am I completely forgoing a potentially critical stage by not letting it completely haze/dry? I hope I don`t have to re-do the car again. :wall :wall :mad: :mad: :sadwavey: :sadwavey:

I basically put it on 1 panel and wipe it off. like you, if you leave it haze too long it becomes difficult.

I haven`t really tested the durability on both methods, though, both sides of the car feel the same. Hoping anybody with firsthand durability issues can attest to which method they used.

I`ve found the AJ is a love or hate kind of thing. You need to spread it very very very thin and I usually am able to take it off with ease. But if you get a spot with too much, it is like you said a PITA.

yes I agree, I do not like it on 2 of my cars, but the other 2 it is just fine. just takes some trial and error of application style/method

If you apply it then lightly work it in until it nearly clears, then wipe off immediately or an hour later and it comes off with no problem.

Or just get AJT. :)
I apply AJ with a damp foam applicator... it makes it easy to apply when it is wet. Then I immediately buff it off while still wet on the paint. I find if I leave it on the paint to dry, the AJ is hard to buff off and leaves streaks.
