Ok over the course of about the last week, I put about 6 very thin coats on the mustang which is orange, and about the same on the expedition which is red, both stayed in the garage this whole time and under cover. The stuff is on the money like I said before. I would do a panel and then go and take it off, paper thin coats, takes about 20 minutes to do the suv and 15 for the car. And just for the heck of it I put a coat of BSG on the suv only. There is more shine with the BSG over the top, I have both car and truck side by side, easy to tell the difference in shine with BSG and without BSG. The Americana adds big time depth with shine, perfectly fine by itself. Or do both, can not loose either way. Like I said, I am no detailer, just a guy learning as you teach me.
