Not really, using the supplied sponge applicators (moist), getting a minimal even coat over the whole car, doing the whole acr rather than panel by panel. No direct sunlight etc.
I know this time of year is a bit cold but I found it the same in summer, just a bugger to get off. However today with wash, AG deep polish, AG paint seal and then the HD wax the finish was astounding on my Mk6 GTI, just bloody hard work!!
