+1 to what Dan says. But I've been using a much cheaper alternative to the Glamour products that cost $100/gallon. The product I use is sold by Rosco (the theatrical gel & stage products company) and is called Clear Acrylic Gloss Transparent Glaze #5580. Available through theatrical supply companies. List price last I knew, was under $50/gallon. Also, it is quite thin, and is meant to be diluted 50-50 with water. I use two light coats, sprayed within about 5 minutes of each. This ensures a nice semi-gloss sheen, without a plastic look to the coating. Yes, it is more work than using a spray can, but . . . I have been using the product for over 5 years now with no problems what so ever. Water beads up on the treated surface and just runs off.
