this is from amazon's website. does yours say this?

I have a picture of mine above and yes it says the exact same thing to just apply a second coat, does not mention 24 hours.

Look at the NOTES section. It does say wait 24 hours in this photo. Yours probably has it in the same area but your picture is cut off.

Yeah the coats need to cure (harden) between applications. Not supposed to get it wet during curing according to youtube videos i've watched.

Applied coat #1 today. I really like this stuff so far. Slide the backside of my fingernail across the surface and it is silky slick.

It really does leave a silky smooth finish. Tomorrow I'll see how it repels nasty winter weather here in the NE!

Nice. After you're done with the second coat and its cured, to get best results, finish the paint with a microfiber and detailer spray of your choice. Cause the hybrid solutions smears slightly even with buffing. You'll notice it at certain angles--understandably so, it's not meant as a finishing product.

I use Meguiar's waterless wash spray. It finishes beautifully.

CG Hybrid V7 is another great finisher.

only two finishers i'll use. very picky with marks and smears. plus they'll add another layer of slickness and depth

I was thinking of using the CG Ceramic Quick Detailer as a topper

I like Adams polishes detail spray but I think they’re all good products that were mentioned here.
