Dwell Time

A dwell time is the time a product needs to be left on a car. Some paint cleaners have a chemical element to them which needs time to work, while some sealants need time to harden and bond to the paintwork after they flash off. This is especially the case with ceramic coatings, which if left to dwell too long can spoil. This gives us a 'window' of time in which to operate. This window can be greatly effected by humidity, temperature and air movement, so on a hot dry day the window is fairly short.
