Why have you "stopped" if you dont mind me asking?
Thanks! I never really stopped (in my mind :-)), the most trivial reason really - work, family, etc. For the last two years I was trying to change my career a little bit - so I went back to school full time, etc.

What brand of clear do you use?
I use Dupont Chromaclear, but my trick is to use almost twice as much hardener AND thinner than required. More hardener means clear cures MUCH faster and more thinner means it is still flowing like it should, and levels beautifully. I literally start polishing it in less than two hours after painting, and its hard as rock. The only disadvantage is that it is much harder to polish since it is much harder coating.

Thank you all!
