Since it take a long time to dry, can I drive the car right after it's applied? I am afraid dust will stick to it while driving

Indeed, dust will adhere to it if you drive. But it all depends. The more dust in the air, the greater the accumulation. But like anything else, don't start what you can't finish. If you can't afford about 15 minutes or so for drying, then I would like to suggest that you simply postpone to another time.

I would recommend do so. It will allow the front of the car to completely dry and remove any small rocks that might sneak under it scratching the paint.

Stick well to mine. After several times of removing it and leaving it on the car seat, it became dusty and it reduced its stickiness. Just wipe it with a damp and it is good as new. Hope that helps.

I think if in a garage and not bitter cold, but it will take longer to dry. U might run car heater on high for a while. Maybe try just one seat that can be a test to time how long it takes to set. Just do it when u dont need to use the car for a couple of hours. And this stuff really repels dirt. My seats are very light gray and still look new. Good luck!

It's a very strong clear once it dries, however I would not recommend using it on a car.....

Never. And I've used a California Duster for over 20 years on 2 cars. You might see a bit of a waxy line when a duster is new if you rub harder. It's a great way to prepare to wash your car...follow with a damp Mystic Maid and you're done, all in the garage using little water. I never go to a car wash!!!

once this is applied and rubbed in good, it will not be sticky. you can use a hair dryer after applying to get it to melt in faster. this is basically just bee's wax. great product if used properly

Just drop it in. It only needs to be cleaned and re-oiled after 50,000 miles of normal driving conditions, i.e., not dusty.

Are you asking if you can mix it with paint, or with some kind of wax for use after you wash the car? Either way, I can't see it hurting anything but I don't think it would benefit anything either. The dust is too fine and too small of portions to be visible in any capacity on a vehicle.

It will dry within 24 hrs. I am not satisfied with the results of this product actually. Very mediocre protection. Good luck!

Yes it has to be wet first. Gets hard as a rock when dry. Doesn't smear as badly as a chamois. Would work fine on any vehicle, but of course you have to wring it out from time to time, so the size of the SUV doesn't matter. Easily cut into smaller pieces if you want someone to help you in the drying process.

Its actually better than rain X. As long as the windshield is very clean before the application it will last a very long time.

Yes and, yes.you need to clean your car with a degreeser to make sure it is not covered with any residue. I usually clean the cars I opti-coat twice. Once with soap and once with a degreaser, usually like zep. Mix with water rinse thoroughly. Dry thoroughly. Then get into the most dust free area you can. And do exactly what the directions tell you to do.

I would wait for the carpet to dry completely. The carpet might be 'crunchy' if you apply while it's wet.

I haven't used liquid glass before, but your best bet for preparation is to fully wash and dry your car, then clay it. For best results I would polish or compound if needed then apply the Jet Seal.

I normally don't remove it when it gets wet from a rain storm or traveling down the highway. However, I would remove it if I am taking a car through a carwash. It is also a good idea to remove it when you aren't towing for a period of time. There are two reasons why you want to occasionally remove it and clean it. (1) If it gets wet and stays on for a long time (months) it will probably discolor the paint. (2) Dirt collects underneath the nose mask and could possibly scratch the paint. You will find that with practice the install gets easier.

not for drying the car. but the other day i used it to blow off the tree blossoms/droppings, etc. i noticed that the blowing did not get off all the pollen clinging to the surface, so i doubt the drying power of the blower (and the capacity of the battery)
