BLACKFIRE LSP Cure Times???

[Todd@RUPES]

maybe its not recommended but i have used polymer spray as a drying aid as i dried off my vehicle and it did leave a noticeable gloss on the car.

It will work fine, BLACKFIRE Polymer Spray is water based so it can be used as a drying aid. The older version, Deep Gloss Spray, was a little less concentrated and played nicer in this regard. BLACKFIRE Polymer Spray is super concentrated and might be a little finicky (streak-prone) if over applied when drying.

A light mist is all that is really needed when using as a drying aid. I don`t recommend it ONLY because if somebody gets a little trigger happy, they may end up with streaks that could require some effort to remove. However, once you get the amount needed right (one light mist per one-to-two panels), it works well.

question on the cure time for bf wdafpp and bf carnuba wax

is there any performance benefit or otherwise on adding layers of bf wdafpp 12 hours after the first coat?

for the wax, since it is wiped off immediately, how long do I have to wait to put a second coat on?

Hey, I resemble that comment

From page 1:

BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba Wax
Dry Time: Not Applicable, remove wet
Cure Time: The polymers cure extremely fast, the wax may take 1-8 hours to fully harden depending on temperature and climate.
Recommendations: For maximum layering benefit wait 6-8 hours before topping with more wax.
In Use: The polymers and wax both cure/harden extremely fast, a second coat of wax can be applied almost immediately after the first has been removed with very little change in performance.

thx... thats the part I did not understand though

what does that mean "in use"? does that mean once applied and already been on for a period of time?

so basically, if I am putting on the wax fresh, I have to wait 6-8 hours?
