I detailed this 2001 Volvo S80 for the first time on August 22nd, 2009: 2001 Volvo S80 - Engine,interior,and exterior cleanup .
Part of the detail included the application of M20 Polymer Sealant. Just recently I was asked to detail the car again, and I was in fact curious to see how that application of M20 Polymer Sealant was holding up.
I asked the owner about the car and he said it has sat outside 24/7 for the nine years he has owned it. He also uses it as a daily driver, it does have 130,000 miles on it. He also said he has driven i through the touchless car wash a couple times and thats about it.
After washing the wheels, tires, and wheelwells I rinsed down the paint and it actually beaded up quite nicely. It beaded up even nicer after washing it when it came time for the final rinse.
Heres a few pictures:





Obviously there is still some protection on the paint but it could definitly benefit from another claying, cleaning, and a fresh coat of wax.
