Thanks for the compliments.

Just a quick comment on UPGP. If you're considering using it, it may look expensive to you. (12 oz. bottle about $70; 4 oz about $35) But that is not the case. You use so little this will last a long long time. I have the 12oz size and have put on many many coats on my ES and my wife's Pilot. I would guess close to 20 applications and have used, maybe, 20%. I would guess you can get around 100 applications, so it is less than $1/application.

Having said that, as raymondp said, it is very quick and easy to apply (literally 10 minutes - not counting the wash time). You will want to put it on as thin as possible - and I mean thin, thin, thin. IMO, it looks best with about 3 layers. It is so easy and so little cost/application, I don't wait for it to wear away, I just keep putting on coats from time to time.

The only downside is that you have to wait 12 hrs for it to cure, before you can put another layer on.
