My buddy Butch, who owns a show winning black 1968 SS396 Chevelle has often never put anything on his paint, other than maybe Meg's #7 or #9 years ago. That was before he went through the entire car at least a 3rd time that I know of, and again another complete repaint recently.
Now the car sits covered, never driven, only trailered to shows, and the paint at this point wears basically zero, nothing. Except at the World of Wheels Show last month in Milwaukee, I seen him spritz a little Mother's Detailer Spray here and there as a touch up.
(Sort of irked me, when I gave him a brand new Bottle of Pinnacle Crystal Mist Spray, figuring such would be superior to many bog box products)
BTW, he did take a best in show, 1st place restored class in Milwaukee. Not the first time for this full rotisserie restoration.
Looking closely at his car at the show, I did see what appeared to be just a minor sleek or two on the passenger fender, and what appeared to be just a slight loss of gloss on this single stage paint. I'd guess it was from once wiping with a less than stellar MF Towel, and wiping on the dry side, or?
I stepped back and thought that perhaps on certain areas of the car, something like Black Hole might rid, or should I say "hide" such very miniscule microscopic imperfections, amp up gloss, feed-enrich the paint and really make it pop and come to life.
The only downsides I would guess with a car like this, which I know is in the vicinity of value-appraisement of about 6 figures, is then getting product around and trapped by emblems, as a nasty telltale caking, and yet more slight damage from rubbing.
That even with the decent background and experience I have, and even perfect conditions to do such, like the heated garages this and his other mint cars of his reside in, that if he asked "me" do help him with such, I'd be doubting my expertise with dealing with such a concours quality ride, and would likely decline the opportunity.
