Hi Tom,
I'm glad you liked the product, I like it too!
As far as instruction go, If we could write instructions for Autopia members, they would read much different than those we currently write.
The reason it says to work one panel at a time, is to insure the average "Joe Consumer", doesn't get into trouble. Typical user thinks like this,
"If a little is good... more must be better!
Agree?
That's where you can get into problems letting Joe Consumer apply any product to the entire car. Chances are good they will apply to thick of a coating, it will then dry and become difficult to remove. Instead of blaming himself, he will blame the product/company.
If Joe Consumer applies to one panel at a time, at least you can limit him to a small area to apply thick coats to and then remove.
It's called, "Bubba Proofing".
On a side note, #20 is only intended for finishes in pretty good condition, not neglected, and probably not even, "good condition".
It does contain a mile chemical cleaner, but it is a very small percentage of the total volume, something like less than 10%
This is in there because this is a one-step product, (most people only want to apply one product).
This being the case, the small amount of cleaning action this provides insures the surface is cleaned so that the polymer can properly bond/bite to the paint.
This then insures the product will last.
How long a wax will last depends upon a quite number of factors, one of which is,
How well is the surface prepared to accept a wax
