Hi, I'm trying to get into to detailing and deciding what products to try since I just purchased my first car (it's used).
I've seen people mention that car paint/clear coat dries out so applying polishing is beneficial because it "nourishes" or "moisturizes" the paint and prevents drying out. But coatings, such as Duragloss 111, require not having polishing oils on the paint so the coating can bond.
So does paint actually dry out and if so, is regular polishing and waxing or a coating gonna be my best bet to prevent clear coat failure? My previous 12 year old car had severe clear coat failure where the sun hit it hardest while parked and preventing that is my goal as well as just having a great looking car.
