It can be intimidating, but it's like baking. Just follow the directions and its pretty hard to screw up. Also, you can get the full instructions on their website.

Trust me; it's worth the effort. When having several coats on, even highway bugsplat will hose off, and it lasts way longer than Turdle wax, or Mequires.
