looking after the paint is more then just a layer of wax, although it helps. to look after it you need to use a ph neutral car wash, 2 bucket method, microfibre wash mitt for paint and another seperate one for wheels, a good microfibre drying towel and a spray wax for lubrication when drying. using all these properly will minimise the amount of wash induced swirls which will help keep the paint in tip top condition.
now for protecting the paint id say ditch the armor all and get some duragloss total performance polish to use as a sealant. it will look great on silver and give good protection, and best of all its easy to use.
check out car care product's how to guide for a great rundown on looking after your car. they also sell all the gear needed at great prices.
Very true, I'm pretty meticulous when it comes to my cars. I was surprised actually, for what was just a fleet car, the paint is not bad - not great, but I was expecting worse. It will need a respray on the front and rear bumpers (normal car park stuff), otherwise, it's pretty decent
Cheers mate, I'll give Duragloss a go.
