I tested this method out last night on my Silverstone paint. It has about six coats of Zaino and a p21s topcoat (attempting to add depth, sort of muted the silver sparkle). I threw about 4 coats on using this method, as best I could figure it out... Today, in the overcast light, parked at the coffee shop, I swear I could SEE a difference between the door and rear quarter (did the door, not the rear quarter) - the reflection of the yellow lines and the pavement certainly SEEMED darker and deeper in the door... I'll have to do some other comparisons when I've got full sun and maybe a few more coats on other areas.

If nothing else, the p21s seems to live up to its reputation of "self-cleaning"... There was drizzle and the roads were wet, yet after about an hour of drying in the garage, there was no indication on the front fender or door that it'd even been on the road. A finger-wipe revealed no significant dirt or dust. Good stuff.
