Apply a few drops of coating onto applicator, spread evenly in a cross hatch (#) motion and let sit for approximately 30 seconds to 3 minutes depending on the environment. Remove with a two towel method. First towel gets most of the coating residue off and leveled, second towel cleans up whatever is left over and evens everything out. DO NOT LEAVE RESIDUE ON PANELS, high spots will develop requiring machine polishing to remove and reapplied of coating.
