Nearing the completion of my car has gotten me to thinking about how I am going to protect the finish of that very expensive paint job. The car has sat inside for the past year and a half since the paint was aplied. The rear clip will have to go back as I found some runs on the underside of the top portion, just above the widow area. So I will probably have a coat or two of clear added to the entire car just for good measure. But what to do after it leaves the shop. Do I use waxes or some kind of finish that is hyped on the infomercials? This has gotten me to thinking about it. Just today I was searching for information on the Toyota shifters. I have two right now, and am struggling a little to figurre out which is the best for my purposes. What I stumbled onto was a finish that is suposed to last 5 years and makes the water sheet off the car. Suposed to be better than the waxes. Is it for real or is it mumbo jumbo?

I have heard a lot of commericals about sheeting and how it is suposed to be better than the waxes and their beading of the water and the spots they leave behind. I don't want to get into arguments about using softened water etc. which is expensive and not worth it, or the theorectical stuff. What is the best answer here, real world. What will really protect the finish. Do I need to settle for waxing every couple of months to protect that rich finish? Or do I go with some of the high tech stuff with its sealing the pores of the paint? I am not in a salt environment, and I wouldn't drive if the weather was such that the government was laying it on the roads.
