    I think that this is not that, only because they insist in 24-48 hr before getting it wet

    At least it was like that with the aerosol version. I have the new version on hand but have not used it yet.

    Was wondering how it was as a topper.

    Are you looking to use this on the vette that has the new Blackfire coating on it?

    I don`t know if it would work that well as a drying aid as mentioned. But after you dry the car it would be fine.

    Re: Can Coat as a Drying Aid..........

    I have not tried to use it as a drying aid but I am thinking that water won`t play well with it given the chemistry is different than say something like wet coat or hydro blue. Jeff from Gyeon would be the one to really know. Hopefully he sees this thread and chimes in.

    You could always just use a spray topper and call it a day as a last resort. If you were closer we could get a few of us to tackle a reapplication or put something new on it.

    There is someone we both know on the sister sight that uses either dp/mckees coating as a drying aid, so I was wondering.

    This is something that has never occurred to me and I would think it might not end well but who knows?

    I`m also not too surprised it *did* occur to you. The wheels are always turning, huh? Interesting thought for sure.

    Wow! I can’t even wrap my head around using a coating that flashes as a drying aid. Water and coatings usually don’t mix. I wonder if McKees is a water based coating (carrier)?
