    Ok I have seen a few people post on it. But I dont get it.....Future floor wax? Why? What's the advantage over a standard top coat? Can anyone show the difference?

    From the article:

    This is the greatest advantage for me, since much of my work is nearly exclusively with brushes. If applied well, this stuff is nearly magical for this type of work.

    One thing Ive noticed lately, and maybe its just me, but it leaves a yellow tint especially noticeable on white paint even when its not in direct sunlight for an extended period of time.

    I think the key is to not apply a lot of it. I tend to mix it in with my paint, and after I've done this I've noticed much less of what you're talking about.

    I've noticed this as well, but I think that has more to do with how much you apply. On customs where white is prevalent, it's much more noticeable. So you can either use less of the stuff or switch to a more conventional clear coat or spray-on sealant.

    It's still not a bad thing to have in your stash.

    Now that I have tried it, I will probably never go without it for customs again.

    This stuff is great, tried it and use it to tighten joints and as a final coat, plus its more redaly available.
