In hot weather, a little. It's self leveling - it's thinners also evaporate quickly. If you lay it on too thick, it will run and set. Too thin and you'll get ridges. Moral of the story: Lay it on thin and the second coat smooths it out.
In the pictures above, it's the first coat. I'm waiting cor cooler weather for the second.
When laying a coat, make a single pass and don't go over the area again, you'll only muck it up. You want a second coat anyway.
When I speak of setting, it does set, but remains tacky for 2 - 4 hours. As for application, in my case, it was simply wipe on. I understand it can be sprayed. I have no experience with that.
As with all things paint or polish, the prep is the worse part.
I spent a portion of the past weekend doing the majority of the drivers side above the rub rail. 800 and 1500 grit only at 600 RPM. I went through 5 discs of each and I still have spots that will be revisited.

What will you do to prep between coats of Everbrite?

thank you. I've read and seen some applications that look good and some that went bad. Still need to finish what we are doing with the McGuires. where we have done still looks great. But there seems to be a lot of dirt streaks that run down the sides after rains. It just wipes off with a soft cloth, I think it's that fine desert dust caught in the rub railing and awning rail.

On the curb side, Wash with simple green and rinse with distilled water and wipe dry.
The rest that has been done has two coats on it. Drivers side top half isn't finished yet.
