How long after Opti-Seal can you wax?

Hi all,



After a long Autopia hiatus :nixweiss , I've recently been reading the site again -- man a lot can happen product-wise in a couple of years!



Anyway, I've decided to give the Optimum product line a go, and have ordered a UDM, Poli-Seal, Opti-Seal, and Natty's Red.



I've seen posts where carnauba is layered on after Opti-Seal, and Opti-Seal after carnauba, but I haven't been able to find a post stating how long you should let Opti-Seal dry for before applying carnauba.



The closest I could come was this thread http://autopia.org/forum/detailing-product-discussion/93864-streaking-opti-seal-best-method-get-rid.html, where Scottwax says that you should let Opti-Seal dry for about half an hour before putting on another coat of Opti-Seal.



I'm not sure whether this timing holds true for carnauba as well, though. Anyone know?



Thanks :)
 
I've gone over the top of optiseal within 2 hours of application with no ill effects... for what its worth. You probably could go over it sooner, but I haven't tried.
 
I remember reading that Opti-Seal cures fairly fast, like in a few hours so i think it is fine to layer a carnauba on top and even quicker to do a layer of OS after the first OS application.
 
I agree with the others, a few hours should be fine. However, I'd wait a full 24 hours and wash the car before applying Opti-Seal over a carnauba.
