Various BF product layering and cure times

**dd1101** · 04-24-2012, 12:33 PM

Hi all so I picked up TPnS, BFWD, BFcs, and Polymer spray.

On Thursday afternoon I plan to do the TPnS, I believe I do not need to wait to any before applying BFWD all paint protect sealant right.

Then on Thursday night apply another layer after five hours of letting the first layer cure. Do I have to keep the car in the garage at night?

Also then on Friday morning I will apply BF CS. Will I be wasting the BFCS? Since I will already have the BFWD on the car or is

It depends on how OCD you are - I also have tried all the layering and found for a daily driver, the BFWD and CS are more than enuf after using the TPNS once. If you can keep it in the garage while curing, naturally it will be better, but by how much? The only thing you have left out is how you wash it after layering...Ultima wash and the BF wash work well for me, with a poly spray every 3rd wash or so...

Don`t count out the wolfgang spritz sealant either - it is amazing layering over the BF products....

You could wait a couple of minutes, but more-or-less you can go straight to BFWD.

I would keep it in the garage to avoid dust or moisture from settling on the paint. You don`t have to but its highly recommended.

You won`t be wasting CS at all! All BF sealants and waxes feature the Wet Diamond polymer system, so they will all work together. Is it overkill? Perhaps slightly, because you have such a strong foundation of protection on the paint already. However you may really enjoy the (slightly) brighter shine you get.

Hey Todd Is there any advantage using the midnight sun detailer over polymer spray for up keep.

When I mean advantage I am talking about a deep shine.

Looks will always be personal preference. Midnight Sun Instant Detailer has some carnauba wax in it so you will get a slightly warmer (deeper) shine, but it doesn`t have the longevity of Polymer Spray.

Thanks man will it give the look of wet ice over fire?
Anyways last week I got all my stuff, I applied one layer of TPnS, 2 layers on BFWD(5 hours apart).

Then in the morning I applied the Crystal Seal in the morning... Looks great.. But the crystal seal did leave some streaks on some parts of the car. I followed the directions, primed the blue cobra pad with one mist, I did total of two mist on the hood and spread it out in a uniform fashion on the hood and fenders.After this the car sat out of the sun for one hour, then started my drive, then when I looked at the car later on I saw streaks. I ended up spraying Polymer spray and took those out.

Is this normal?

Also in a 2 oz spray bottle could I mix 1.8oz of polymer spray and 0.2oz of Crystal seal? reason for this would be to spray 3 to 4 mist per panel and buff out with microfiber.
