I'd always intended to followup with maintenance coats but never got around to it....yet anyway...although mine is probably too far gone now.
A few more light coats will likely take care of those streaks, mcpandt. I want to say I did about 4-5 coats...it's been a few years. My prep was a bit more aggressive....scrub with barkeeper's friend followed by a good wash using TSP...then wiped on the floor polish with a rag dampened with the stuff.
More recently I tried Penetrol from the paint store. I'd read it was good for faded glass. It did look almost as good but didn't last as long.

I was very impressed by the Zep. I could use another coat, maybe this weekend, but it looks so much better. Also we had a long scratch from a tree branch, probably 10 feet long, just under the awning and after two coats I couldn't even find it. It also restored the fading on the decals.
