So I rebuffed everything... I'm getting pretty good at that part... LOL Because I drive my car daily, after buffing I had to drive it. So when it got back home, before doing the paint cleaner, glaze, wax dance, I decided to give the brush a try since I had to wash anyway. Brush directly on...

I had a great conversation with Dwayne! It seems that maybe I did it to myself thru lack of understanding how to best use the brush. After I finish getting the webs out, I'm going to try 1 panel again, using the methods Dwayne suggested. As I unfortunately have to work for a living it will take...
