Good job indeed, looks clean and no clumping evident - spray from a gallon can or spray bottles with good nozzle?

the problem there appears to be that he took a pressure washer to his car (doh!).

Read the thread on that one. It was the power washer he used and look how close to the car he was with it. It'll do that on any car.

Not sure how long I'm going to keep it on there. Gun, dip, and everything was about $350

I didn't tape it off. The thicker you put it on, the easier it comes off. Here's what it looked like before removing it off the tails/headlights/foglights/badges/etc. It took me about 10 minutes to remove all of it, if that...

No need to apologize! It is very cool to see a Mustang plast-dipped, for a change. ;-)
