Kiddetailer Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I know this forum and many other places throughout the web have spoken about proper Curing times for the various protection products from Optimum. I was hoping for a sticky thread where it will state proper curing times like for Gloss Coat, Opti Seal, Optimum Car Wax, Opti Lens, Opti Glass etc. For Gloss Coat I know that it can touch water in 1 hour, can be wash after 7 days with car soap, and no chemicals touching the gloss coat until at least 30 days. What about things like opti seal after gloss coat to protect it after application? I read many of Gus's posts where he says put opti seal 1 hour after gloss coat has been applied. Is this the official word from optimum? Or how long after Opti seal can Optimum Car Wax be applied? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowejackson Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Ron has spoken a few times about using Optiseal after Gloss Coat so I would take this as officially safe. As for OCW after Optiseal, you can do this anytime you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guz Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 What I have found it is the following Gloss Coat - allow 1 hour in between coats. Wait one hour to top it with opti-seal Opti Seal - Allow 90 minutes before topping it with Instant Detailer. OCW topped with Opti-seal or vice versa can be applied right away as Lowejackson mentioned. Opti Lens - Allow 1 hour before topping it with opti-seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Different installers recommend different wait times, but my standard suggestions are - All Coatings may be topped 1 hour after application In either order - OCW and OS are fine immediately Opti-Seal - layering I've seen anywhere from 1 hour to 24 hours, not sure about Instant Detailer but would think anywhere after 1 hour.
