Also let it dry in between light coat applications. You won't believe how well the water beads up the next time you wash your XF or it rains...PJ
Agreed on the prep work. I use old newspapers and use that as a lining between the top and where it meets with the car and glass. I put some on mine about 18 months ago and the top still looks great and beads up well when water hits it.
