This is a great glossy top coat. Since I mostly do planes, I've mostly used it for decal prep (if you spray down a coat of gloss before applying the decals it helps them adhere and cuts down on silvering). However, I did do a fun American flag P-40 that I wanted to be glossy, and this stuff did the trick. I have also used it on small areas to give a wet look, like for oil spills, etc. I would definitely use this to shine up cars too!

Tamiya makes the hobby paint on the planet. Its so easy to work with. The coverage is awesome. At first, coming from Testors, I was hesitant because Testors is so thin and barely covers. Once I used it, it was a game changer. I will be switching all my paints to Tamiya.

The X22 is an excellent shiny varnish. I use it for car painting with great results.
