i used max meyer for 4years its not wank ,but then you can use the 500quid stuff ,but if you carnt get good gun finish ther no point as you still polish anyway ,iv used standox ,ici few others ,still use max meyer even on my own cars
and i put a dry coat on then a nice coat on top flows out mint ,don't get runs ,but each to there own not a dig in anyway ,id never put two heavy coats on or youl be picking the paint off the floor everytime ,gun type ,air pressure ,paint mix .is also a factor
