THANKS FOR THE HELP FELLAS!

I think it worked great, I could make a case that this was better but there's one major drawback. I diluted (about 20 to 1) the Tamiya XF with isopropyl, so the drying time was pretty much instant. That makes the wipe a bit harder, so if you try this, start out light and add darkness gradually. not that it cannot be wiped down, just that it cannot be done while the wash is still wet.

But, I think they way the wash flows when an alcohol solution hits cured Testors gloss enamel is better than Tamiya panel liner or AK washes in the way it applies to a gloss varnish.
