It takes me a while to clay (20-30mins), takes me longer to go over the car with #80 (30-90minutes), then glaze or Nxt (30-50 mins), then top it off with a wax/sealant (30-40 mins). I cant imagine how long it will take to aplly 12 coats of any product.

also another tip, when applying and removing the sealant, do not move in a circular motion, always go form front to back with the contour of the cars lines. it prevents swirls and i think makes the surface slicker, TKO52 can back me up on this.
My 94 (currently for sale) looks brand new thanks to Zaino. Yeah, you need to clay it to make it look this good. Especially if the car is more than a couple years old, and has been driven.

1998ta, you are right about the back and forth, I actually switch it up and go 50/50(circular/back to front) depending on what coat it is. The reason also i had heard was since your car is painted back to front in straight lines, so it should be polished/waxed the same
