Meguiars 3-step

Just wondering if there is any "cure" time between the 3 step that need to be taken into consideration?

It's my understanding that I can use the cleaner wax, follow that up right away with the gloss, and then follow that right away with the Carnuba.

Also what is the curing time for the Carnuba if I were to apply 2 coats?

Should I not drive the car at all if I want to apply a second coat of wax the next day, or will a quick wipe of with a MF towel allow me to apply a second coat after a day or two of driving?

Thanks
 
First,I would not drive it between steps.I just finished the process on my Red 99 F150.I just bought it and man what a difference it made.I used the cleaner the n the polish and then the carnuba immediatly after one another.I used an orbital buffer.It took about 1.5 hours.
 
I didnt think you could layer the Carnuba with it, not sure. I loved what the 3 step did for me (and having a dark car) it helped a whole lot, but still had some swirls. Doing the 3 steps also woked wonders on my wheels too.

I would not drive it at all until both coats are on. You might want to go with a better wax cause Mequiars 3 step seems to always leave smears behind.
