^^ sucks when your car is white. I can barely see the wax/sealent on my GPW when its time to buff off. =(

Thanks for that picture akimel. As I was applying it, it looked like the left side if anything. The foam applicator I used came with the BFWD as a package (it had the BFWD, a BF spray, and a cpl terry clothes and a foam applicator), from the place I bought it online at. I might try a different foam applicator next time, as I literally couldn't spread it as thick as the right side of that picture, as the foam applicator would absorb a lot of it.

Regarding applying/removing.. I think the stupid applicator made it more difficult than it would have been would I have used something else. I'll use a microfiber cloth or something to apply it next time. You're right, the buffing off wasn't too hard, I've just never detailed a car before. The clay barring was what was really tedious, but looking back, I'm actually really glad I did it, as it removes those tiny pieces of crap that stick to the paint. I gotta say, after the BFWD is applied, the paint feels like sleek glass, and it's pretty damn cool. It basically feels like a windshield after rain-x has been applied, very slick/slippery. Thanks a lot for all the info/advice!

Yeah, BFWD leaves an exceptionally slick finish. It's hard not to touch it afterwards.
