Default I did 2 back-to-back on the allroad & 3 in a row on the A4. I figure if that's how...

Zaino goes on, it probably works for FMJ as well.

Default By the way, the second coat on the allroad made all the streaks on the matte parts disappear. I'd

definitely always do at least 2 coats in succession on the first application.

Default I don't have any matte parts!

I only did one coat on the front clip last night. Oh well...took the car out today, so I guess I'll add the second coat after the next wash, and do two coats on all the other sections when I get to them.

I'm beginning to think the first part anybody should wax when taking delivery of a new car is the rear bumper and trunklid. Felt like sandpaper, and I've only had the car 6 weeks. I didn't feel like breaking out the claybar last night, so it'll have to wait.

And the S was cursing me last night...as it sat outside (dirty) while the Acura was getting TLC.

Default I was just making the point that 2 coats will save you from any possible streaking or

other imperfections in the first coat.

And yes, I agree, the dirtiest part of most cars is the buttocks, sir!
