I use Future on all my models because it is safe and strips easily with ammonia if you do not like it. It is also great for making your headlight lens clearer and more see through. I wipe it it on. Especially with Tamiya's Decals which are nice and lay down smooth this gives a very nice overall shine. Some laquer finishes look good but some are way to thick and unrealistic. One thing I do is polish the decals with Tamiya compound or the treatment wax or Novus #2 before I apply the Future. If you spray it set your pressure pretty high to better atomize it. It's almost like spraying water it is so thin. It will also make your windows clearer. In the long run a laquer finish is more durable but future can be freshened renewed or repaired easily by just applying another coat. It has ammonia in it so it reflows the old coat when applying the new one.
