Thanks guys

Let it cure for 30 minutes before buffing off.  Then do not layer it or anything on top for 24 hours as if there are any high spots, they will become hazy.

dont let it cure over night then? ive had the sealant on a few parts for over like 8 hours now without buffing it out

You're SUPPOSED to let it cure for 12-24 hours, so the answer to your question is yes. (Actually, I'm not sure I see a way around it...)

lol my bad I always thought I was suppose to let it cure for 30 mins or something idk why I thought I saw that on the back lol

can I let this cure over night without having any problems? 

Thanks for all kind words and advice. I might just need to do a few more coats on it. And I didn't have tar lol I had scrubed it down with the all purpose cleaner and a hose. But yes it does smell amazing!

Just what I wanted to hear! Thanks guys

So I sprayed this on a 2010 Honda civic fender wheel, I wiped it and spread it evenly. It look amazing at first and not even 5 mins later it slowly started to go back to its original look. I did clean it before hand with all purpose cleaner. What's wrong? More product or what?

So is the quick sealant better then the machine super sealant then?

Lol yeah I've done a few subies and alot of other cars just didn't have enough room to upload. Thanks though!

I used revive glaze and polish with a micro, a lot of scrubbing and pressure then sealed it

Revive glaze and polish! Sorry I was busy!

Guess the picture link didn't work.

Before and after.

idk why everyone hates CG I use both Adams and Chemical Guys both very great products

how long does it stay like that for? does brake dust stick to it? id like to know more about it

yeah i didnt do the 2x2, im deff gonna be doing that tomorrow

Try the proper sequence and you should get better results. Feel free to ask any more questions and don't forget to post some photos

just posted some pics of the work I did today, im gonna go back over it tomorrow and take my time more and do the ssh first then swirl remover, then polish, then machine wax. thanks guys!

You should always step down the aggressiveness when polishing. If you are using SSR and SHR, SSR is more aggressive and should be used first, followed by SHR, and then FMP.

 

Make a line either on your backing plate or on the top of your pads so you can see how fast they are rotating. This is helpful in determining how much pressure you are applying while you work. The pads should be rotating once every 5-6 seconds. Make sure you move slowly over the panel so the polish and pad can do its job. Check out

for proper technique.

 

What kind of vehicle are you working on?

 

 

Thanks for the advice, yeah I was doing it the other way around. Its an 08 Evo X, rally red metallic

looks really good!

So im using the pc with the 2 step paint correction system, swirl remover, severe swirl remover, then polish, then machine wax. I have a lot of swirls in my hood and I used the swirl remover first at speed 5 then severe swirl remover at speed 5 also. Im not getting the results I want and I can still see some swirl marks. I have repeated these steps and im sure ive been using the right amount of pressure, any ideas on what I could do? Any help would be great, thanks. Ill post pictures up in a little bit. 

Thanks guys

It's definitely a great start for sure. I only have one suggestion. You mentioned this is to maintain your daily driver and I see you have the Mini Premium Shine Kit which includes Americana Paste Wax. I would recommend adding some kind of a sealant such as Quick Sealant with an Americana Hex Grip Applicator to get lasting protection for your vehicle. Wax will work but will not provide lasting results like a sealant would give you.

 

You can pick up MSS with the gray pad but QS is the easiest to apply to more parts of your vehicle (wheels and tight areas the pads can't reach) and has a much less curing time than MSS after applied. So you can top it off with Glaze and Americana from there for the "Face Melt" method we all know and love.

 

Oh, and lots and lots of various microfiber towels from Adam's as the are the best you can get.

Thanks for the input, yeah I think they're out of order of the quick sealant wrote now back thanks for the advice! I'm gonna plan on doing that
