Tomorrow, hopefully, I'm going to detail the max again. I've done it once before, but wasn't sure if I had the right technique. I use Meguiars Step 1, followed by their yellow #26. I was wondering after applying it on the car, how long I sh ould wait to remove it for each product, or if they're just a wipe on, wipeoff product. Thanks.

They're not wipe on / wipe off. It'll depand on the weather conditions, hot/cold/ humid, etc.....But let it dry for + or - 15/30 minutes and then remove. It should be ready to buff when you can rub your finger on it and it removes easily without streaking. Apply in very "thin" coats. "Less is more" when it comes to waxing.

I would think the directions would be on the bottle as to how long to let the product dry. In most cases with wax, you can remove them too early, but not too late. Last year when I was using Meg's NXT, I applied it at like 8:00PM, and removed it when I woke up in the morning. It still came off pretty easily, and it was very slick. You can be sure it had enough time to dry!
If you don't know how long to let it dry, I'd just say to wax the whole car, then wait 20 minutes and remove it.
As far as polishes, you don't need to wait at all. In fact you should only do one section at a time with a polish. Do a door or half of a door and remove right away.

 

You will want to use Step 2, then #7, THEN #26 for a much better job. Also, dont forget to clay out the rough spots....

 

Yes, #7 produces a beautiful look. #26 is a pure wax so it won't remove any of the #7.

 

Yeah this wasn't a full detail, just a quickie in case this was the last warm weekend for a while. i'll post pics when i have time to take them, turned out pretty good.

Car domain sucks, they condense all the pics, but they're there nonetheless.
