I know allow ample curing time between products and usually adhere ot those time, but onc eina while I simply can't. What are the negatives of doing such and are there any pluses?
Menaing I like to at least let EX-P cure overnight before applying NB, but what about when you can only allow say EX or EXP to cure for a few hours, then apply carnuba topper? In this case would it be wiser to say do EXP, wait a few hours and layer EX on top, so you woudl get that carnuba depth a little bit?
 
It's a violation of commandment #1 of the detailing laws. The sealant gods will not look favorably upon you and they will fight with the wax gods, consequently, they will not peacefully coexist. Resulting in a gooy and yucky mess.

Just kidding. I have no idea, as I have always been too anal not to let sealants sit and cure for a lonnnngg time.
 
Imagine seeing you here! :>)
It just come sinto play when doing someone else's car. I am at the conclusion, topping is better than not topping if on a time restraint.
 
I think it might have a slight negative effect on the sealant's longevity. Personally, I think it's a bit overplayed, like pertoleum distallates, Simple Green usage, using glazes before a sealant, etc. Seems like some of those topics and words get thrown around because they sound "technical." A lot of it turns out to be more trouble worrying about it than should really be done....

In any case, if you want to top it, go ahead. I don't see any adverse effects like the paint peeling off or a portal to Hades opening up, despite what you might hear.
 
Do It! Do It!, Yea I have done it before, paint looks just as good, and I'm usally putting somthing else on before the other stuff has a chance to wear off anyway.
 
Skip the EX and just layer on the NB. Unless you are prepping for an off-detail season (taking a few months off), what's the problem?
