Tkitch92 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Hi guys. I'm trying to seal my Chevy Cruze before winter hits. It's about 45 degrees in the garage. When is it too cold to apply paint sealant? It seems to be working. Also how long do I need to let the sealant cure before wiping off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to know how long I have to wait before I apply H2O G&G. No, you can apply HGG right after. Then about once a month, or every 3-4 washes.

0 shane@detailedreflections Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Paint sealant is pretty flexible in temperature and time. Apply to the entire car. Then remove the entire car in the same order. You want it to bond and giving it time as you do the car gives it times to do so. If applying by machine, use a no cut pad and low speed with light pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tkitch92 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Is ten minutes long enoy to cure? Because I prefer to do like two sections at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 shane@detailedreflections Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 The longer the better. With the sealant work the whole car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 falcaineer Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 +1 for doing the whole car then removing. Make sure to do a thin, even layer to make removal easier, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Tkitch92 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Thanks guys I applied it after doing a quick waterless wash. I hope there was a good bond. I just didn't have time to wash strip clay etc. Though I did clay it about two weeks before I sealed it. Hand applied paint sealant and we got some rain today and man did it bead up pretty good. So I'm sure the sealant worked well. mc2hill, stalebreadjr and Nickfire20 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you prefer the older version of h2o or the new one? As I have both and have not tried the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tkitch92 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 I plan on using the old up first unless the new h2o is significantly better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't used the new one yet, but the honey dew smell is not a personal favorite. The formula was completely redone to include acrylic, carnauba and silica, and it can be used as either a wet or dry application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tkitch92 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 What I can already tell about the new is very little separation which is nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I meant completely dry, as in no water needed. The old needed water, or at least a wet towel, to be applied correctly. The new Hybrid version can be sprayed on and wiped off without the need for water being introduced in the process. Tkitch92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Nickfire20 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I really like the new, works great, got a gallon of it this summer. Still have 3 bottles of the old, like both fragrances, so I alternate them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After buffing the Paint Sealant residue off of the vehicle, we like to recommend waiting at least 30 minutes to 1 hour of cure time afterward before you would apply any product like H2O Guard on top of it 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This goes back all the way to our Machine Super Wax and Machine Super Sealant, the predecessors of Paint Sealant 🙂 falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
