Does that make sense?

I just think trying to manage your towels will be more difficult trying to wipe twice with one pass around the boat.

OK got Ya! Use a 3 shelf cart for a simple technique for going around the boat just one time for two cleaning applications.

Have my 2 different colored microfiber towels separated (for my technique and plane so as not too get confused and make sure everything is done right with 2 wipe downs and seperate microfibers) 1 color on top shelf other color middle shelf. Use top towel for 1st wipe down and when finished with a section place used towel on bottom shelf. Next get other colored towel from middle shelf for 2nd wiped down for same section previously done and then discard that towel on bottom shelf as well.

Last couple questions, I haven't used the Lake Country Coating applicators before so would I do them the same as appling tire dressing on a tire swipe. Spray product/Detailer Paint Coating directly into the foam and then wipe of Gel Coat, specially since it's going to be windy and alot of product would be going all over the place.

And I have been doing as much reading and searching for applying a topper to this coating as well as others for getting as much gloss, shine, depth and richness for a spray wax or a spray detail for just trying to get that WOW factory for the boat owner as well as the others boat owners at the marina so they will have to have this done to their boat as well.

I seen where in one post you or Nick mentioned that to top with Pinnacle &/or optimum's spray something? Forgot what the name of each product was. Instead of having to reorder more stuff at this time, what would be your thoughts on applying marine31 Gel Coat Wax & Shine Detail Spray over the Detailers Paint Coating! Would be a 1st and I will take before and afters of applying the DPC and then with the spray added to see if I can get the wow factor.

Thanks for all your and Nick's help greatly appreciate it, should be applying the coating to the boat next week sometime so I will be posting my outcome and procedures up on here with pics.
