I have applied this to two cars now, and both times I felt I struggled with applying it thinly enough. I'm sure I used too much, but with that said, removal was still easy so maybe I used the right amount. I'm not letting it sit for an hour though, more like I do the whole vehicle, go in and get something to drink, then start removal. It has definitely "hazed" by that point, maybe 30-40 minutes from when I started.
It was tough to judge the shine as I put it on top of WG3.0 sealant (after 12 hours of course).
