Actually, BULLSH**T works great. Usually just takes a little longer. And maybe a little residual staining. You have to work it in good, is all. Matt knows the many, many ways of the wily Rambler restorationists... (come on, it's a compliment... :)

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.
