My 94 300ZX is white, slightly toward cream, with an obvious clear coat. I say that because it always looks great with just a soap wash. Waxing or glazing seemed pointless. You folks set a much higher standard. My ignorance WAS bliss..................;)

My Subaru Forester 1999 may also have a clearcoat but thinner? There are some small 1/16" dia. chips that are on the side and do not appear to have been caused by rocks or sand. Perhaps IP? Few times after parking at the airport for a week or two this car was covered with gritty dust from jet exhaust? Worst looking stuff I ever saw. Just washed it off but if it rained before returning, even night dew, one can imagine serious damage.

With AG standards in mind perhaps there are times when you do not take your car out of the garage? Are there products that protect enough excepting sand storms. If you achieve that 95% plus finish would you take your car out of the garage when the wind blows?.........when it rains?..........when it snows?...........especially if they sand the roads?

Are clearcoat finishes universal? When do you leave your car in the garage? What products protect from worst conditions when you have use the car? Ignorance was bliss...............:confused:

i dont drive my bmw in the winter, i have a bonneville for that. i dont want the car to be exposed to salt and the possibility of crashing it in icy conditions.

just keep a nice layer of sealant or wax on your paint to protect it.
 
the best (or worst) part of taking your car out in these nasty weather moments, is you get to clean them all over again, thus the hobby and ability to try additional products.
