Yes. Also all he "shadows" in the crevasses and angled parts. I prefer it over actual wash products since the self leveling properties means it fades from darker to lighter as it moves out from the main density. I spread it over all the surfaces since I am looking for the overall blotchy effect but you can just apply it to the low points if you are just actuating depth. You can also get a different effect by putting it over a flat or gloss base. Over a gloss base you get less colour change overall and more emphasis on the low spots.
This is a good example of getting artificial shadows and bringing out detail on a gloss surface.
Gloss paint from the bottle.
Tinted polish with a flat overcoat. No other effects needed.
The real thing has no gloss and the dark sections are much more subtle than the picture makes it appear.
