Curing time for AJ?

Anyone know if I need to wait a certain amount of time for AJ to bond before applying another coat? It doesn't specify on the bottle, thanks.
 
by the time you apply to the car and buff it off you can apply the next layer

wait 12-24 hours before topping with a wax
 
Thanks for the help guys!



atticdog,



I checked out the link you provided and found exactly what I was looking for. :2thumbs:
 
One more question for you guys...



I have already applied 2 coats of AJ and was thinking of doing 3 then maybe picking up some S100 wax from the Harley dealership to top it off. Do you guys think 3 coats is unnecessary?



I also went over the whole car ('99 Silver M3) with Blackfire SRC finishing polish on a white 4' LC pad before applying AP and AJ. There was virtually no marring prior to the polish (used a 1000 watt halogen), but I just wanted to give the paint that extra "pop". Blackfire is awesome!



I'll try and post pics in the click and brag section.

I am topping AJT with CG 5050 wax; I love it.

This CG 5050 wax is new to me. This is only the second time that I can recall seeing it mentioned. What does the CG stand for and where can this be purchased? Thanks.
 
Personally, I think two coats for full coverage is more than adequate, one single application is going strong at the 8 month point on my brother's Odyssey that is tunnel washed 2-3 times a month. I really have never noticed an improvement in appearance layering AJ and I prefer to leave it untopped...well, on my own black car, I used a carnauba over it since my paint is more bright black than deep, dark black.
 
I kinda figured 3 coats was overkill, but I went ahead and did it anyways. I also plan on using the AG spray after each wash also. I still have quite a bit of FK425 too so I may just alternate the two from time to time. Would it be okay to do this?



Scottwax,



What would be your reasoning for not topping with a carnauba? I know that the carnauba is supposed to bring out the depth of darker colors, but you don't think that there would be any benefit to a silver car whatsoever? If not for an appearance standpoint, how about in terms of added protection in addition to that of the sealant?

I have AG but think it is easy to use ONR and then use AJt or 5050 wax over it.
