Hello again from a long adsence.....
A short background on the car in question - The car was hit a couple of years ago and half repainted about a year later, about 2 years ago that I'm guessing. Since then it has always been garaged and only really taken out on odd weekends etc. It was also covered with a soft car cover when "stored".
Recently I have been driving it daily (due to my daily driver Fairlane dying) When I get my daily driver back on the road the Fairlane will go back to weekend duty. What else can I do to protect the paint and/or improve on what I'm already currently doing? Not much was required as it was rarely taken out, only water/bucket washed 4 times since being repainted, just Quick Detailed and covered up.
I'm worried that I'm not doing enough now that it's getting driven daily.
At present it gets waxed once a year, clay bar first only if needed, and Quick Detailed every 1 - 3 days depending on dust. Car is garaged overnight but undercover outside during the day.
Since it's winter I wont touch it if it has rained and going to rain 3 days later. I'll wait for a week clearing and wash it then even though I don't like water washing it.
I use Gold Class car wash
NXT Gen Tech 2.0 Wax
Quick Detailer (I just picked up a bottle of UQD to try)
Are there other products that would be better suited? I should mention the car is a greenish/grey blue and really seems to pop with the NXT gen wax, quite deep rich and wet appearing. I've never been a fan of constantly building up wax layers. It isn't a show car but I do get stopped quite a bit to talk about it.
