It's not that you can't use it on sedans but it's all about using the 
right stuff for the job. You see, station wagons are faster than sedans 
due to the improved aerodynamics of the long roof (if you don't believe 
me, why else would they put luggage racks that generate down force on 
the big V8 wagons) and you need stronger adhesive to keep the woodgrain 
on at speed (just think how embarrassing it would be to have the 
woodgrain vinyl flapping while you lap a Corvette or Viper). The 3M 
stuff just happens to be strong enough to dissolve the mighty station 
wagon woodgrain glue.

Seriously, I should have put an "among other applications" at the end of 
my last sentence.
