Disapointed after poilishing and winter weatherr

[Annahra]

Make sure you use a Sno Brum or something that doesn't have hard bristles. I had one this winter and had very little marring.

For info on coatings, I would recommend doing a Google search for "Autogeek forum" and "coatings." There's a TON of info to be had. A coating is a more permanent paint protection, almost like a second clear coat.

Tks all for your responses. Many who replied suggested coatings and I really know nothing about or ever considered. Can any suggest a product that perhaps I should be looking at? I really don't know where to start. tks

Take a look at the new Blackfire coating. A couple people have tried it as their first coating and had really good success with it. Make sure to get the pre-coating spray. Another one that seems real user friendly from my reading is the DP coating. I think that one has a prep "polish" so would take a little more time than just the wipedown with the Blackfire.

I'm a Blackfire fan so now that they have a coating, I may do that on my personal car so it will require less hours on an annual basis, so I can spend time on the vehicles that make me $$.

IMHO, I have seen ZERO evidence than any coating does anything to prevent marring. The only coating manufacturer I have really seen acknowledge anything close to this is Nanolex. Can you point me to a few sources of "installed a coating - it fixed my marring issue"?

Can't recall a single thread like this....

IME, the only way you can scratch a car is if you touch it. Since it becomes necessary to touch a car's paint at some point to clean it, it comes down to: how you touch it. Something touched this paint to scratch it.

Until you figure out what that was and how to improve it, you'll be chasing your tail regardless what LSP you use.
