    Applying top coat

    Is it okay to apply a top coat on a car right after applying the wax? Or is there a waiting period between applying the wax and top coat?

    What do you mean by "top coat"?

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

      If you just mean two coats of wax, it is nice to wait 15 minutes if possible, 24 hours for best looks.

        The longer you wait the better. Try for a minimum of 15-20 minutes.

          By top coat, do you mean a second coat of wax or something like final touch.

          I usually wax one day and put on another layer (Gold class over NXT2) sometime the next day

              You want the wax on top, not the polish.
