Thread: Crystal Glaze Paint Protection?

Most modern passenger car paints are already very well protected against the environment (in contrast to, say, 25 years ago), so IMO the answer is, no, it isn't worth it. The dealers try and push this sort of stuff as they get some fat commissions, but if your car is a modern model from a reputable manufacturer, just use some decent wax from time to time.

I have an Audi (the fifth successive instance from that manufacturer), and each time I've bought the car I've been asked if I wanted that "service". I have never taken the option, and not the slightest bit of fade or weather/environment related tarnish has occurred. Then again, most european makers are very good these days with this sort of thing - even, dare I say it, the Italians...

eh.
Clear coats on cars along with the pigments in the colour coat are very very resistant to fabing and damage.

oxidization?? well.. erm... that really shouldn't happen on clear coated cars that are well looked after.
Yeah they get contamination from fallout (it feels ruff if you gently rub your nail over the paintwork) however that can be removed with claying with a clay compound and Lubricant.

Get a cleaning kit from www.waxit.com.au and if you wash your car at minimum monthly wax it every two months then you should keep your car in tip top condition.

(There is more work to keeping a car looking like new however you should be able to keep it in at least good condition with regular careful washing and a wax every two months)
