Only used this product once, just got it. The instructions say to let it dry to a haze and buff off. So I let it dry, only a couple minutes, and it was very hard to get off. I ended up dampening it with a detail spray. Otherwise it took more pressure with a microfiber cloth than I wanted to put on my paint. Is this normal, I don't think I used too much. It almost seems like this should be a wipe on wipe off product.
 
It is a wipe on, wipe off. It hazes very quickly. Apply a thin layer to one section, then without adding more product, use your foam hand pad to knock down any thick spots, then wipe off with a microfiber towel. Should come off very easily.
 
Thanks for the info Scottwax, thats what I thought would work better, contrary to the instructions on the bottle.
 
I've found using a damp applicator to apply AJ does help make it easier to remove. But pretty much wipe on one panel and wipe it off immediately. The longer it sits, the harder it is to take off.
 
as recomended previously by others, I spray werkstatt sealant(s) directly onto the paint and then top that with a layer of Optimum Car Wax Spray, wait a few seconds and buff out. If I get any streaking I just spray some more OCW. BLING-O

Interesting method, I'll have to try that. How (if at all) does that method affect durability?

Yeah, I've gotten great results with AJT. I picked it over AJ solely because of it's method of application.
 
I've got the second generation Jett which came with a sprayer attachment. It was meant to be either hand applied as in the traditional, first generation Jett manner or sprayed like the new Trigger. It works just fine applied with the sprayer (even better with a rechargeable, reusable aerosol can). I have no idea why they introduced Trigger - they did not need it. I also have to assume (although I must say that I have not tried Trigger yet) that it has to be watered down with something to make it more "sprayable". Whatever, I know it can't be the same formula as the older stuff. I'll stick with Jett.

From Jeff:

"The AJ Trigger is closely related to AJ... it just uses a different polymer blend to achieve a reduced viscosity that is sprays more uniformly and spreads over the surface easier. It is still a purely protective formula with no cleaning agents and is a fully functional LSP that must be applied to a clean surface. In other words, both perform the same task in the detailing regime, they just approach it slightly differently. I've been wanting to take AJ in an even more sprayable direction but many people are very fond of the current version. This move should allow us to focus AJ as the traditionally applied sealant and to focus AJ-T as the spray sealant. (While AJ can still do both, AJ-T can do the spray sealant role more effectively.)
