I did it on my old Studebaker that was quite faded. It took 3 or 4 applications to look good. The first 1 or 2 had streaks, after that it filled in really well.

Wrong website for me, Charles. I run dldesignstore.com. I would be happy
to talk to you about the wet look application, though. Mine is holding
up good, so far. You can call me at five one oh - three nine three -
one oh seven three.

I might bounce the call to voice mail if I am on a customer conference
call (the story of my life), but I WILL call you back.

Charles,
I did the roof on my SOB almost a year ago. Three very thin coats. It
still looks fantastic. I did the endcap on a coach at last fall's GMCWS
rally in Amado, AZ. and am awaiting Les Watson's feedback on the longevity
of the results. It looked REALLY good when I finished it.
Steve F.
Just remember, NO runs, very thin coats on a well scrubbed surface.

I am at about 6 months since I did my coach and it still looks good. I
also did my Tracker, which
had some pretty bad paint and it still looks good, too.

I made an offer to do Rob's Double Trouble but he wasn't interested in a
clean look. I think the man enjoys the shabby look better.

If you want a concrete floor to shine and grip at the same time, put on
three coats. The first coat goes to the wall but the next two only go within
four inches or so. It's a great surface for a garage floor. Shiny, too.

I was dreading doing the wet sanding (did some), compounding, buffing, cleaning, waxing/etc...
Easier to wet sand it.. then just wipe on, again, again..done.
Make sure you use the non-porous gloves, else you have pretty clear and shiny fingernails... Rolling Eyes

Ist go round approx. 40% done

I don't know what you guys are talking about? I searched GMCMOTORHOMEINFO for "Wet Look" and couldn't find anything? Is this the "MopNGlow" thing?

Yes, it is basically liquid floor wax. Home Depot has a fancy name for it.

it's essentially an acrylic finish (Clear coat) that you can wipe on. NOT a wax..

Are you saying that Rob looks shabby <vbg>

I found that I REALLY did need 5 coats on the coach, but it
really
did make a difference, even my wife noted that the brown areas
were "sparkly" (she never noticed before that they were
metallic).

Anyone in attendance here at the GMCWS Coos Bay Fall rally is more than
welcome to stop by space 26 and check out what this looks like after one
year. My roof indeed, was shot. Rain was washing off particles of paint
it was so chalky. A thorough cleaning with a mild scotch brite pad and
drying before application has resulted in a zero maintenance finish on the
roof and an "new look" shine. I have washed it twice and nothing more
since application of three coats of the ZEP Wet Look Floor finish.
