What happens is it goes sort of milky white which soon dries back out. No you don't need to reapply. The only reason I gave it another coat was to help the coating last, Paint Shield says a maximum life of 18mths!
I have not had issues with it peeling off in wet weather, you may get some "blisters" where the water has got under the coating but I normally pop them with a pin and squeeze the water out to dry again.
I'm heading up to channel country in July and will most definitely have it on.
2) did it provide good protection from sticks, etc scratching the sides when driving down over-grown tracks?
Most definitely, in 2012 we ventured to the geographic centre of the Simpson, cross country through very scratchy shrubbery. Plus many a 4wd trip without a worry of scratching. :) it's a nice feeling.
3) does the product have a shelf life or can it last a year or two if you keep the container sealed?
No shelf life written on the tub, it's going to last me years and years.
Appreciate your response. Thank you
Mario
