In Response To: Other: Automobile finish (Matthew)

How does it hold up?

Better than you will need

How does it resist scratches compared to varnish?

Much better

How many coats applied the first time?

Depends on the brand used, usually 3-6 (can be done within a day due to very short cure times)

When it needs touch up does it have to go back to the shop, or can you touch up yourself?

usually, you can do small repairs with little sticks, cans etc.
