    Personally I would say zero coats, although the solid-core door outfeed/assembly top is getting some finish over time from drips and rags used to wipe off finishes- it has relatively thin veneer. ...

    I got one job after the previous guys were fired. They installed siding with brad nails and it was coming off the walls after a few months in the sun.

    1/4" staples aren't much better.

    If you assemble the frame first, any inside profile will be rounded at the corners- a lesser look by most standards.

    Maybe more car washes are being built in response to the moronic fad of black cars, which along with their other shortcomings, require 3 or 4x the amount of cleaning to look OK.
