my_e36 43 Report post Posted August 4, 2010 - Gard X Paint protection Stage 1 Stage 2 Personally, I am not a believer of paint protection system. Many car dealer sell them as add-on and tell me how I don't have to wax the car again for 3 years. I would have save the money, buy some wax then wax the car over and over again. My parent got talked into it once but I reckon 1 year after, although it still has the shine and water still beads on the surface, it lack the depth on the shine that give the rich luster of a good wax has. Read on the internet couple of years back that some nut-case (a detailer by trade in UK) wax his own car like 3-4 times a week for 3 month straight to see what effect it has. Need to dig this out but it was a good read. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
