I'm a huge fan - but it is dumb finger sensitive. Have you found a way to seal it?
Thanks,
John

I’ve been trained to use Spazstil gloss sealer for chrome ..

Key is letting it fully dry which unfortunately can take days.

I’ve always Gloss oat first before getting involved with any BMF/Molotow chrome pen treatments. You’re doing great, Lyle. Is it done yet? :bored: :giggles: :giggles: :giggles:

Put some Testors Glosscote/Capa de Lustre (I like that more betterer) on the body this morning. Got some on the car, too...I am happy with it and will let it dry / cure for several days. Then, I guess a bit of the old polish is in order.

And, it just dawned on me...don't forget the hood. Duh.
