I'm sure I'll get a gallon around Christmas time, along with a couple items

If you used as a stand alone LSP you where recommended to apply heavy. And when used as a drying aid or topper the 1-2 spray per panel. Or are you needed to heavy application even if you have a LSP on the paint the first use?

Apparently apply heavy the first time regardless of what is underneath. Matt Moreman from Obsessed Garage showed how and applied heavy on top of an Audi R8 that was recently coated with Gtechniq CSL.

Still can’t picture using 6-8oz for an application without 2/3 of it dripping off.

When i applied it for the first time, it was on top of CSL on my truck. All i did was mist the entire panel to ensure it was covered. It wasn't to the point of product running off the panel. To me, you're wasting product if it's that saturated to the point of run-off. But i let the product sit on whichever panel i was working on for about a minute. Then i wiped the panel off with a microfiber. I went around the entire truck using this method and then when all was done, i went back through with a clean, dry microfiber and buffed off the little bit of streaking that was left behind. My philosophy was to let the product "bond" to the surface a little bit before wiping it right off. I'm only about 2 weeks with this product being applied but it's holding up to PA's nasty salt-covered roads so far.

So how many ounces did you use?

I'd say 3. Maybe 4 at the most. 2017 crew cab f150 regular bed.

Me neither!

I’m wondering then:
Is “thin”...no longer “in”?!?!

If so:
Then I’m going to wager that a person could
utilize most any other Spray-On/Wipe-Off paint
Sealant in a similar: ‘heavily-applied-manner’...
and come up with results that are nearly
indistinguishable from those of the “Bead Maker”.

I agree about NEVER oversaturation of a panel to where it's running off the panel, common sense here

For the first application, you just want to saturate the panel enough before getting to the point of it running off. It actually "sticks" to the panel quite well. I applied is using an IK Multi 1.5 pump sprayer. You use a slightly damp microfiber towel (damp with Bead Maker) for the initial wipe, and then come in with a second clean and dry microfiber towel to buff off.

If you work in more humid environments, apply more product to the towel, less on the paint (as per P&S directions when I spoke with Dave Phillips, the chemist).
