Do you have to wait 24 hours before applying additional coats of EX? And how do apply Vanilla Moose, I heard its very thin. TIA

For best durability, wait 24 hours and keep the coat out of the elements. I have used Vanilla Moose and it isn`t extremely runny, but liquidy. You should just watch where your drop the product. I usually just dab at certain spots.

I use a yellow foam applicator to apply VM and I wait 24 hours before adding an additional coat of EX.

Durability is not a factor, cause I would do a full concours every weekend if time and weather allowed. I would park it in a carport overnight as far as keeping it out of the elements goes, would I need to use some megs quick detail spray before I put another coat of EX on? And I`ll use a polshing pad on my PC for the VM, how much should I apply? And what speed, how big a section? Thanks.

I use a polishing pad at about 5k w/ VM . I apply a liberal amount at first to load the pad up and then about a dime size on top and bottom or 12 & 6 on my pad.

In between ex coats you could use a wterless car wash like PB`s s&w or a detail spray if not dirty at all.Aloha

Use any QD to make sure the EX coat is clean. I would wait 24 hours between EX caots to make sure they bond. Apply enough so you think its covering. No need to use lots and lots of product. Do panel by panel

If I only use one coat of EX can I go straight to my lsp, or should I wait 24hrs?

Anything more than 1-2 layers is just going to remove the existing layer. I`d do 2 to ensure complete and even coverage. :bigups

Certainly. I would however suggest at least two coats of the sealant to ensure complete coverage.
