What Customers Are Saying
The product appears to be a generally well-received clear protective finish, with most customers finding it easy to apply, fast-drying, and providing a smooth, clear finish.

However, some customers reported issues with streaking, foaming, or an uneven finish, and a few felt the product was ineffective or did not meet their expectations.

Must lightly sand between coats but it’s worth it!
