[Coco] Retrobright - anyone used it on a coco 2/3?

[Michael Graham]

  I used the gel, I didn't get enough chemicals to make a tubful.  I 
went out and re-applied it about every half hour, although occasionally 
I'd skip and leave it an hour.  With me it took less than a day, but I 
live in Oklahoma and the sun is super strong here in the summer.  I left 
it out a total of 4 or 5 hours I think, but you should use your own 
judgment.
