Tim, it was a struggle with the 3M to get a good glaze. It took a very long time to haze over to the point it could be removed and the removal left a streaky finish. It almost looked like when you run your hand over suede in a few different directions. Some was shiny, some was not. It was like I kept missing spots. I could not get a uniform shine. I tried a few coats but had the same result.

I think I may not have let it set up enough, even though it was about 75 degrees in the garage with the heat on. I think I waited about 20 minutes which I think is a long time.

I found the application of the Mother's which is decidely more liquid than the 3M Paste much more friendly to use. It was easier to apply, faster drying, easily removed and left a streak free uniform shine. Will it last as long as the 3M had I left it? I don't know. We will have to see. My boat is small so its not hard to reapply more often which may be necessary with an auto wax, but its worth it to me based on the factors above.
