Look at the paint from different angles to make sure none of the coating is missed. Spot light will \"wash out\" the high spots visually. Think of it like this: when you wipe off a sealant you have hours to go and check it again outside or in other lighting.  In this case you need to pay attention as you go rather than wait an hour. Thorough removal of residue and streaks is necessary to avoid the need to polish off high spots later.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWait between 2 ~ 15 minutes depending on temperature, humidity, and air movement, and find the right window to wipe when you’re doing your test panel.
