antone Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 who ever advised you this dose not know anything about car paint is not like water paint that will fade off that easily if that was the case the no one would ever polish their car ever.

207_gti Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I wash my car at least once a week, and completely polish and claybar the car every 2 months. Polishing the paintwork will protect it from the UAE's harsh climate. I actually had a sticker on my car since the day I picked it up from the dealership. 18 months after I pulled the sticker off, and there was absolutely NO DIFFERENCE between the colour of the paint that was underneath the sticker. So, polishing helps a massive amount to protect the paint ADAPT Performance - Power Unleashed SOFTWARE TUNING & PERFORMANCE PARTS www.adaptperformance.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antone Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 i agree. polishing and waxing is a part of car maintenance too and should not be ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
207_gti Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I strongly suggest that you invest in some quality products for paint protection. Below is a list of products I use. Meguiar's gold class wash Meguiar's clay bar kit Meguiar's ultimate compound Meguiar's swirl x Meguiar's scratch x 2.0 Meguiar's supreme shine protectant Meguiar's mist&wipe quick detailer Meguiar's cleaner wax Sonax polish & wax color nano pro Sonax xtreme wheel cleaner full effect Meguiar's endurance tire spray Zap synthetic chamois Terry cloth towels Terry cloth wash mitt Demon shine Dual action polisher A good clean and wax job could easily take you about 6 hours to do, but if you love your car like a true enthusiast, the paint will last for a very long time to come Here are a few pics of my car after a full 6 hour detail, which included restoring the headlights and all black trim. The paint still looks just as good as the day I bought the car. Keep in mind that modern cars that have single colour paint (i.e white, red, black, blue etc...any paint which is NOT metallic) does not have a clear coat of paint over the base colour coat. So in these pics, what you see is just the base paint shining, no clear coat ADAPT Performance - Power Unleashed SOFTWARE TUNING & PERFORMANCE PARTS www.adaptperformance.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
