atlas 0 Posted August 23, 2007 Hi there. I recently picked up some OCW and must pass on my congratulations on a pretty awesome product. The ease of use is what really gets me. Have some questions though: 1. Does OCW have a 'drying' time? When would OCW be fully 'cured'? 2. Related to the first questions, how fast can OCW be layered? Immediately? After 30 mins? Overnight? Is there a limit to how many layers can be applied in a single session? Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony Orosco 39 Posted August 23, 2007 Hello and welcome to the Optimum Forums. OCW is fully cured in 15 to 24 hours but one can layer it at least twice in that time and have no issues, at least in my experience. 3 layers seems to be pushing it. I wait about an hour between my first layer and the second layer. It can be used though weekly, such as I do, after each wash and I get great results with it when used like this. Plus, as you noted, it's so easy to use, so fast, that it takes no more than a few extra minutes to do the whole car. Glad you like the product and hope you enjoy your stay here.

atlas 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Cheers for the response. Does that mean OCW is an air cure? Drier conditions yielding faster curing and vice versa? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony Orosco 39 Posted September 5, 2007 Yep, pretty much Anthony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damian@FI 0 Posted October 11, 2007 I find a little smearing occuring when layering within 24 hours, esp in low temp weather. I find 3 days minimum the best time to wait. This coudl be due to conditions in Melbourne, Australia though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No Soap 10 Posted July 30, 2017 It is so easy so using the buffer would be more than overkill! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
