That is a good point. But those coatings are definitely less expensive than having to re-clear your whole vehicle.

"How do you keep that black truck so clean?"

"I wash it."

"No, really, how do you keep it so clean?"

"I wax it before it needs to be waxed."

"No, relly tell me what you do."

"I have a force shield I invented to keep rain, bugs, and dirt from getting on it"

"Really? You ought to patent that! I'd buy it if I could afford it."

"I'm under conract with the government now, I can't tell you any more, or I'd have to kill you."

"OH! You can trust me!"

Sorry guys, I couldn't resist!

I was at a local car show last year. The majority of cars were late 1960-1970's muscle cars with a few occasional 1950's American cars mixed in. In the middle of this was a guy who brought his early 1960's Jaguar E -type convertible (right hand drive).

It was as if all the other cars did not even matter. His car was spotless and the paint was perfect( even better that it was on a British racing green E-type). So, I start a conversation about his detailing regimen and he is quite informed. He was a low key person who took passion in not only restoring the car but detailing it himself to an incredibly high standard. We talked shop about the car and different detailing products for about 20 minutes.

This ended when some a$$hat decided to peel out of the car show in his badly swirled up, poorly restored 1960's muscle car and almost wrecked it and came close to hitting some pedestrians. He and I exchanged the same look. Some people will never get it.........

A friend of mine (who is a car guy and I really thought he knew better) and I were looking at another friends car that had some hail damage when he reached over and started rubbing his finger on a dent that was covered in dirt. I said "don't scratch his paint all up" and he replied " it's clear coat I can't hurt it" so I said "so clear coat paint can't be scratched?" He said "well you just buff it out". I stopped talking at that point thinking "why buff if you don't have to?" This guy is very knowledgeable about cars and even used to work in a body shop, but I guess he under the same misconceptions as everyone else.

Not a fan of L4P. Too many arrogant jerks who think they're better than the world. Most of those idiots deserve whatever they get.

Year 2000: Wife buys a new car, got MORE than the original purchase price for her trade-in...'77 Toyota Celica 'Fastback'. Orginal red SS paint.

And 'people' say keeping a vehicle 'cleaned up' is a waste of time.
