Well, I'm by no means an authority(perry, neil, john!)but from what I understand its very easy to apply/remove and lasts quite a long time. Considering that winter is coming is the PERFECT reason to put on two or three coats. Remember, its relatively cheap to just put some more wax...but putting some more paint on because it looks like crap is a whole 'nother story. Not too mentions a lot more expensive...preventive maintenance is the name of the game. wink
