I'm coming home for X-mas break next Saturday, and looking ahead, I see some good weather that will hopefully allow me to wash my car, and re-protect it. I've been using KSG for a while, and just bought Liquid Soverean to top. Ill number my questions so they can be answered without confusion, and thanks in advance.
My first application of KSG, I used too much, and waited to do the whole car to buff off. That was a huge pain, and forced me to look to the W.O.W.O. directions as seen on this website. This is how I've used KSG the next two layers. My first SG application happened after my deep polishing detail in August, then the car sat in the garage for a month. Two months later, I came home and added another layer of KSG, and then took my car up to school where she sat for a month outside. After that month, and on Thanksgiving break, I added a third layer of KSG to my car, and it came out perfect - no buildup, and no excess SG everywhere when I brought the car in the sun. Anyways, onto my question: I plan on adding on another application of KSG or two, and then topping with two layers of LS wax (at least, maybe 3 if time permits). The problem: I can't have my car out of commission that long, and the opportunities to wash my car with above freezing temps are starting to grow seldom.
SO, I would like to get this all done in as little time as possible. On autogeek's website, they recommend KSG be applied, sit for 8-12 hours, and then buffed. You are then able to apply another layer. (1) Does anyone recomend this way? I've always heard 24 hours to cure before layering, but to cut that down in half would mean a lot. (2) If I do follow the 8-12 hours of cure time autogeek recommends, then can I use the WOWO application method without compromising anything?
Ideally, I would like to wash my car in the morning, dry, and then put another coat of KSG on using WOWO technique. After 8-12 hours goes by, I would then apply KSG again using WOWO. The next morning Liquid Soverean would be applied and buffed, and then after another 8-12 hours goes by, I would then apply another layer of LS and then buff. However, I will revise my technique depending on the suggestions of this forum.
Sorry to bring up a topic that never seems to be discussed enough, but your feedback is greatly appreciated.

) with a pretty short interval between them, and it still seemed to work out OK. Maybe not as well as letting it cure for a day or more, but still better than just doing one coat.
