In my case, after the lens sealing wipe stage, it's not drying out totally even after 24 hours - is that normal and supposed to be wiped off with a cloth or something later? Some areas (close to the perimeters and curves) seem to be absolutely wet even after 24 hours

@JohnEngel 3 ай бұрын

Thank you for the question. It should not be wet after 24 hours at all. It should self level as well. I would contact the company and see if there is an issue with the sealant.

@autolife2785 3 ай бұрын

@JohnEngel no, I'm thinking what it could be is something on them interfering with it. I had already put on the Turtle Wax ceramic acrylic wipe prior to the lens sealing wipe (just for some more protection). I might just have to wash it off. I feel pretty bad though, it's not too noticeable, but a small part of my headlight I tried to spray Meguiars headlight coating sealant over top, but it left some streaks. It's not noticeable of you aren't looking for it, but I just know about it, and see it every time
