Hey Guys,
New car coming. CX-5 or a Rav4. The wife and I have not decided just yet. I'm looking to coat the cladding and rims only. I would like to do the whole car but I do not have 24 hour access to a pristine garage to do the prep and coating over the course of a few days. I also enjoy doing my twice a year complete intense paint and interior detail sessions. I need advice for a long term coating for the trim and rims (year plus). I would love a one does both to keep the cost and waste down. My guess is that whatever I do not use will go to waste sitting for a year plus. If anyone has any ideas let me know. The only coating I know of that would do both is Opti-Gloss coat. Speed and ease of use would be bonus as well Since the coating would all need to be done in a weekend.

Thanks in advance.

Gyeon Rim and Gyeon Trim have worked well for me. Add Tuff Shine for the tires and you'll be good to go for long periods of time.
