How Long Should I Wait Before Wiping Off VS721 Bottom Coat?

  Skipper

Andrew B ​asked:

I applied Algex, then Alumabrite CBX brightener, then the VS721 to my tritoon. When I went back to buff or wipe off the VS721, it did not appear that I can get any of it to come off. Is this normal? I applied with a wet sponge, pretty generously. I tried both a hand and power buffer, but very little product would come off except in places where I used more product

Hi Andrew,

When the VS721 begins to haze up, it’s an indication that the VS721 is beginning to bond and cure on the surface. When that happens, you have about 10 to 20 minutes to wipe away the haze and then over time the VS721 bonds tighter and tighter. This is one of the benefits of the product and one that gives it durability.

If you’ve left it on too long it will be difficult to wipe away and polish and it’s already bonding to the surface. The best way to remove the haze is by applying more polish and rubbing away the haze. Do a small, controllable section at a time.

Thanks for your question,
Captain Aurora
