When I first got my new CX-5, I was looking for a coating product that could protect the car paint, reduce car wash frequency, lowest maintenance (of the coat) ever required and ultimately the car will fetch higher resale value with show room condition after X years when I upgrade to another. In short, I just want my car to look clean and great all time. I do understand maintaining a car especially a dark color like black or dark blue is not an easy task. In contrary, I am a lazy butt and dislike waiting, wash car every week and sending it for wax and polish are time wasting efforts in my opinion. It should be minimized as much as possible, the time could be spent on something more meaningful.
I had a sealant product applied on my ex-lovely Civic FD2. The car looked great even after 8 years. See the photo after the break...
