Time between layers
Good evening peeps, I had a question for those of you following the BF polish -> wet diamond -> crystal seal approach. How long do you usually wait before moving on to the next step, and how do you prep before starting the next step?

I found this on a Corvette forum. It appears to be true based upon my experience using crystal seal.
BLACKFIRE Crystal Seal Dry Time: 1-15 minutes Cure Time: 15 minutes-4 hours Recommendations: Wait 4-5 hours for additional layers, particularly in cool or damp climates. In Use: Crystal Seal begins cross linking on contact and in most cases is fully cured with in 1 hour unless you live in an extremely cool or wet climate. By the way, Blackfire Wet Diamond Polymer Spray, when used as a spray detailer over crystal seal, really brings out the depth and shine.

How about the wait between polish and seal? I think I read 8 to overnight somewhere. If you wait that long, I'm guessing just the water and alcohol solution to prep for the seal? |

Here is a quote from the same Corvette forum:
BLACKFIRE Total Polish & Seal Dry Time: N/A, work into the paint until nearly clear and remove immediately. Cure Time: 15 minutes-2 hours Recommendations: Wait 2 hours for additional topping, particularly in cool or damp climates. In Use: If applying Total Polish & Seal by machine, the machine agitation of the product (or vigorous hand application) greatly accelerates the cure time. You can remove Total Polish & Seal with Wet Diamond Polymer Spray to increase protection instantly.
