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.
