    bfcs is really great stuff and probably the easiest to use. wipe on and walk away. Create WHIPLASH on paint, plastics, and metal!

    Re: BFWD 2 coats?

    One coat of BFWD should be sufficient. The advantage to two coats is primarily to ensure complete coverage in case you missed something with the first. Considering the low miles your car sees I don`t see it being an issue. I know I`m a little late so this is more for anyone else reading: you should be good to top BFWD within about an hour. Todd said that most of the curing is done in that time.

    BFMS can be removed immediately and should not be allowed to dry. I start by applying to two panels, remove from the first, apply to third, remove from second, etc. Don`t forget to allow that to cure between coats. The wax will need 12-24 hours (should be fine by 12 in summer) to cure otherwise the second coat is likely to simply remove the first. Keep that in mind and use light pressure both when applying and removing subsequent layers so you aren`t wasting effort. I know that 2 coats is recommended for best results but I have had more depth with a third coat on some colors. Anything more than that is diminishing return IME.

    Thanks for the advice everyone. Here a few pics from the car show. It was sad to see so many nice classic cars at the show with terrible wax jobs and swirl marks. The Cobra`s paint looked one of the best.

    I love bfms but I find the more I layer it the more it gives a honey shine, I like to have the glassy look so this year ive used cs more than I normally would but feel it fails on a depth factor to the paint.
