That looks like it may be something similar to the "poly" clear made by minwax, that I used original on both the mustang and the bronco and it peeled off. Believe me, it wasn't an application error either. Product was made for unfinished/stained wood, not to be applied over painted surfaces, but the can said it could be used on painted surfaces, so be careful. See if anyone sells Automotive clear in a can. But I love reranches clear the best, its glossy as hell.

ah ok, im happy with the auto clear i use..but in this country it takes ages to dry. and i was thinking poly may be quicker.
