Hey Rotorhead,

Where in TX are you? I'm up in Lubbock.

Possibly the best panel line wash technique for you to start with is one called the 'sludge-wash'. This is made by mixing powdered pastel chalk with a small quantity of water and a drop or two of liquid dish-washing soap. Apply over a glossy finish and allow to dry about 75%. Don't worry about being neat - you'll wipe the excess off with a damp rag. Once the stuff has dried sufficiently (judgement call) wipe it off with a damp rag; work in the direction of airflow on the horizontal surfaces, and up/down on vertical surfaces. If there is a big foul-up, you ca just wash it all off and start over.
