    I can attest to this. You need to wait about 24 hours between coats, or at least over night.

    I take offense to that comment Sue! Mine has few to no streaks in it, I just used dawn dish soap to get all the armorall crap off it and then smeared it on with a brush from HF. I think those with streaks are having issues with repeated spray on products that are saturated into the plastic, preventing the etching of the dye.
    I think the real issue is to remember that it is a dye, not a paint. If you are doing multiple coats, you are using it like a paint, therefore it will scratch off, peel off etc...if it is dyed into the plastic, I can scratch mine and fairly deep it stays black. That means the dye soaked into the plastic. I have to wonder that if by diluting, you are minimizing the penetration of the chemical.

    Sorry Chris I was trying to be so tactful .
    gotta give me points for PCness in that line!
    You may be right about what's alredy in the cladding affecting the SN.
    My cladding was uber clean of all those products before I did the SN, maybe that's why I had good results.
