Oh yeah, small caveat to that statement: I had to trim the rear bumper a little bit up by where it bolts to the quarter panel. It took 5 minutes with a cutoff wheel and a quick spray of primer/black paint and you'd never know it was trimmed.

I did my C4's winter solid turbo twists last year. Held up great, and all of the information is spot on. A few minor points and a pic of my car.
1) Definitely take the wheels off. I tried doing them vertically but got too much running, so I laid them flat and it seemed to work much better.
2) "Too many coats" is way better than "not quite enough coats".
3) It will look like crap at first. Keep at it and it dries beautifully.
4) It's actually pretty durable. You can take it through car washes and/or spray it with a pressure washer and it'll survive. Mine mostly made it through the whole winter, with the exception of one small area that I'll have to touch up this year. No big deal.
