NXT: Is it Durable?

I did a double coat of MPPP on the wifemobile in late November. It was pretty obviously almost all gone in mid-January. We had a pretty rough winter up here, meaning not a lot of TOTAL snow, but a lot of snowfalls. If you get 3" of snow, the salt trucks are out and there isn't a lot of snow to dilute the concentration. A lot of 3" snowfalls are WAAAAY harder on a car than one 30" snowfall.

On the other hand, the intense summer sun down here in the hot belt is worse on a cars finish than our winters are...IMO.

A Follow Up to My Earlier Post

True to from, it rained Saturday after my Friday car wash. Rain was not in the forecast but that's a whole different subject. Since my car was not extremely dirty from the rain, I decided to QD it. After the QD session I noticed a ver light film on my hood, similar to rail dust but not as severe. That's why I did not notice it as I was drying my car off. This road film, or fallout, whatever it is, was definitely enough to affect the way water sheets/beads during a car wash.

So I retract my earlier statement that there may be durability issues with the Tech Wax. I can't tell that from what happened this week. No paint sealant can prevent fallout from landing on the paint and the same applies to rail dust. What I would like to know is where I got it from so I can avoid it. Even with MPPP, I had to have some un planned claying, but not as often as I did with Gold Class.

I clayed with Clay Magic, applied more #81, then applied Tech Wax to part of the hood and MPPP to the other part. It should be interesting to see what happens.

Hopefully the fallout will be a rare occurrence, you just never know. I wasn't really planning on claying my new car every two weeks.
