My experience with this stuff has been mixed. to apply it, make sure your 
car is extra clean (as in, wash it, dry it, then apply). take a soft terrycloth 
towel or a cloth diaper and put a moderate amount on the cloth. apply it to 
the stainless with the grain in one direction only. spread it pretty thin and 
work it in. after it is applied over, say, the whole hood, take a new fresh 
towel and buff it clean to remove the streaks. turn the buffer towel over many 
times - it will get black and won't do a good job if it has cleaner on it. 
to do the whole car, it takes a long time and you have to do a good job or the 
car looks spotty and streaked. but if you do a good job you will be amazed at 
the results.

i usually apply the sealer for big car shows and that's it. if your car gets 
wet from rain or anything it tends to streak the cleaner and it looks 
TERRIBLE. for this reason i avoid using the sealer except for extra special 
occasions. otherwise, a simple DMC shampoo wash and towel dry is almost as good.
