how soon can you wet sand and buff universal clear

[doghouse]

Lately I have been clearing some motorcycle parts....tanks, fenders, fairings ect. and been wet sanding and buffing the next day, like 12 hours later. it's been in the upper 80s on average...sometimes 90+ degrees, I'm using a slow activator putting down between 2 and 4 coats depending on the paint and grafics ect.. but usually 3 coats on average with approx. 30 min in between each coat. I use either an LPH400 or my favorite...a SATA mini3b with a 1.4 tip. I tend to lay down pretty wet, but my runs or sags usually come out with 1500 or 2000 grit. I don't like even the slightest orange peel so I wet sand almost everything to be glass like, usually with 2000 followed with 3000, and I buff with 3M 3 stage compound. everything seems to be ok, I'm curious if there are or may be unforeseen issues by working this clear to soon. I love this clear and I abuse the hell out of it. wondering if any one had any advice on this, thanks, Joe

It's better to wait longer if you want best results. You can hurry up the process during this time of year by wetsanding with your coarser grit then putting them out into the sun for the day. Then bring them in and sand with your finer grit and buff. The more time the better of course, but if you are buffing the next day it sounds like you want to get them in and out. Putting them out in the sun for at least half a day will improve the way the parts look over the long haul.
