It says to not let it dry on the surface....1 panel at a time then remove or what?

I do one two pannels, then remove in the order i applied it....so apply to the front fender and door, then remove from fender then door....works well for me

how long should it sit before removal? I have the Titanium Estate Glaze.

as lon as it takes to apply and remove, i think 30 seconds is recomended but i find the two pannel system works well

Im applying it on top of a sealant...that seems like a short time for it to bond! But i havent used it and ur analysis is consistent with the directions..i will try this out and report back this weekend..thanks!

Um..I once made the mistake on applying the wax to the entire vehicle and left it on for a bit too long lets just say I'll never do that again.

With Vintage on the other hand you can apply it and leave it on over night and no issues what's so ever.

Any who, the moral of the story is that don't let Carbon sit for too long, it's not like Vintage so like Calgarydetail said apply panel per panel or two panels but it's really climate/ambient dependent and wipe off. If you can do it with two people that works best, one applies and another removes/buff's off.

Any who just my opinion.

Yea, I live by term "trial and error" I just love learning the hard way I tell ya

I don't mind though, some experiences are really good wile others..well not so good

just used carbon yesterday, zymol recommends to work 12 x 12 sections - apply then immediately wipe off. but i've found i can apply to a surface area that is half the size of a bmw 3 series hood w/o a problem.

another tip is to apply by hand; gently dig your finger into the wax and place some into your palm. rub it between your hands until it breaks down then apply it to the paint surface. you can put enough on your hands to do an entire section w/o having to go back to your tub - a great time saver. i use a 'cheap' MF to remove the excess from my hands b4 reaching for the uber MF that i use to remove it from the paint, this prevents the excess from my hands getting onto my uber MF.

What were your impressions haper? The smell, color, and consistency remind me of natty's blue.....what kind of look did you get?
