it is a nice system and has many advantages .

I agree,I don't even know why tree huggers are trying to push this ,because most shops are still using solvent based clear, but I don't see many advantages with it other than better coverage, atleast with solvent based system if you have trapped solvents, you'll get a little die-back that can be buffed out, but if this waterborne mess did not release all the water, be prepared to strip everything down and start from scratch.
