Quick finishing question.

How long should you wait after the last coat of wipe on poly before buffing? I haven't got too many coats to go.

In Boise right now I'd suspect you'd want to wait a little bit. If it's curing in the warm house, maybe a week. When I was using the wipe on stuff, if the surface was smooth, I'd only buff with a fine machine compound like Finesse-It or Meguires #3. The wipe on is generally smooth and doesn't require blocking, but if you have to, wet 600 won't hurt. I only waiting a couple days to finish, but that was mid-summer.
