1). Initial cure when exterior surface hardens and car becomes safe to drive. DIY and other vendors say that takes 1-4 hours. Your vendor (Feynlab) claims their product takes 24-48 hours.
2). Full cure with chemical cross linking between coating and paint. Feynlab claims this take "several days to a few weeks". Other coatings disclose 6-24 cure times.
Finally, the punchline message from Feynlab site is very apropos:
"Follow the manufacturer’s recommended curing times and application instructions."
I totally agree with the above, and nothing on Feynlab's web site would make me want to go against the earlier cited cure times from DIY, Adams, Gyeon and McKeys (6-24 hours before road ready).
