Even though the ignition doesn't occur all that quickly and the flame doesn't travel all that slowly it still seems like people are covering their cars in something is equivalent to placing a wick in wax, if you get the analogy.

And thank you for doing that for me. You responded faster than the folks at Dipyourcar.com (they have yet to respond).

Grrr.
Yeah, I agree with you -- dunno how much better a vinyl wrap is though. It and PlastiDip are somewhat comparable.

The DYC guys need to hire many more people. I placed (another) order with them on June 30th and it still hasn't shipped. I guess I'll have to start looking elsewhere. AWarehouseFull.com offers it in 5 gallon pails at a pretty decent price. You have to buy your thinner locally but that's not a big deal.
