With Varathane, YES.
With 3 coats of auto clear, NO.

Do you wait 30 days to drive around after you get your car painted?
Seriously, this thing dries HARD !

I don't agree with this statement 100%.  If the autoclear method dried as hard as you claim why do the pro clearcoat guys (PR, Bill D. & Chris H.) all wait 2 weeks between shooting the initial "touch-up" clear and the "final finish" clear?  It dries hard enough but it still takes 3-6 months for total cure time, hence the reason you shouldn't wax an auto CC's PF for 3-6 months too as the wax traps in the vapour and usually causes hazing.  I've had plenty of paint work done on cars over the last 5 years and all shops stress not washing a freshly painted/CC'd car for AT LEAST a week.  (They also say the longer the better)  Now the only difference between CC'ing a car and a PF is the car CC hardens quicker becasue it's out in the sun all day.  How many people here would leave a freshly CC'd (and precious) PF laying out in the sun for a few weeks let alone a few minutes?

So I stick by my original post that you should start re-assembly of a CC'd PF not long after the final clear is complete (1-2 wks).  This way you're less likely to create any cracks or hazing in the clear when tightening posts etc.  Once finished don't play on it for 90 days and don't wax for another few months.

- because PR and Bill shot way too much clear. ( 6-8 coats )

boys, I understand your point and I'm sure (well... I hope!) your understand mine. search google for endless reading on this same subject ...

Either way, if you're thinking about trying to clearcoat your pf, don't be intimidated and just do it ! it's easy and it's worth every effort you put in it.
