Plastic dip hood?

I now use ceramic coating as it lasts even longer and is much more durable than any wax. The prep takes longer but it is well worth it.

I am not sure if it will help on already peeling clear coat, but it will definitely help protect the clear coat that is still intact

Thanks tmontague,

Do you think that ceramic coating (or synthetic wax) will protect underlying paint even if the clear coat has peeled off? Is there a particular brand of ceramic coating (or synthetic wax) that you (or others) prefer? (Some ceramic coatings are pretty expensive.)

My time is limited, so I may use ceramic coating or some other wipe on product for the time being, (like, e.g., a highly rated Consumer Reports wax like Nu-Finish or Meguiar's, the CR rating hopefully includes synthetic waxes) and then look into spray bombs for the base coat and a catalyzed 2K clear coat as recommended by 06YarisRS below for later.

It will definitely help protect what is under it but I don't know what it will look like in the end.

I have used CQuarts UK and I am a big fan of it

Thanks tmontague,

I have included photos in another post in this thread. For the time being, I may just want to protect the paint as much as possible over the upcoming winter and not worry about appearance for now. And then try for a more long term solution, like the one advocated by others, like DIY painting/DIY clear coating or DIY plasti-dipping. I really don't have the money, nor the inclination to spend on a professional paint or clear coat job.

Thanks again,
