I have recently purchased a new car and wish to keep the
shine/paint in primo condition. It would seem the average car
"wax" (i.e., Turtle, Simonize, etc.) only lasts about a month to
six weeks before the effects (e.g., water repellency) wear off.
So:
1) Has anybody had any experiences with long-term coatings. For
example, locally in Southern California there is a company
called Ming with advertises a process that lasts for 3 years
(subject to paint conditions). Is this a ripoff?
2) What's the best over-the-counter car "wax" for the "do-it-
yourselfer"?
