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

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
