No glossifier was used.

ok bigger question now

as I said earlier I had just put on my 1st coat. well I had 4 good coats on then I pe3eled the tape off and the plastidip stuck to the tape in places and ruined the whole thing

what is a good way to peel the tape so the plastidip stays on the car and does not stick to the tape?

A lot of people recommend taking the tape off while the dip is still wet and this will give you a clean line.

but then you would need to retape it for each coat right?

No, Just don't let the coats dry fully. When I did mine I went over it light at first and then just got heavier until everything was covered. Overall it was probably 2-3 coats but in a short amount of time so it was still wet when I pulled the tape off.

how durable has it been? since I had to pull mine off I realized how easy it does come off and I am wondering how it would hold up to washing the car, rainy weather, etc...
