Volvos rock Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Finally used up my stash of grey machine sealer that required 24 hour cure in between that and wax. Looking at the new bottle, no cure time is mentioned, so my question is: can I machine seal it and go right to Americana? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 red94chev Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) The website claims that it sets up in 3-5 minutes. I usually make my way around the car and wait a few minutes and then start removing it in the order you applied. If I'm doing a wax topcoat, I'll go for it right after sealant removal.

Looking at the new bottle, no cure time is mentioned, so my question is: can I machine seal it and go right to Americana? thanks My process is very similar to @red94chev but I let the vehicle sit for about an hour after I have removed it, usually over lunch, before applying the wax. I have found that by giving it about an hour, any spots I have missed are more easily seen and corrected. The missed spots are pretty easy to find with a double-soft wipe down. I found the towel into quarters and give over the vehicle. It should glide easily, but if you missed a spot either during application or removal, the towel will still a little, letting you look it and it and taking the appropriate corrective action.

0 falcaineer Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I work my way around the entire car then remove when I'm done. And for what it's worth, Americana may not be your best option. Here's more on layering. Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
