0 mc2hill Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Most folks look at the beading on the paint after a rain or after wetting the car. That is not very scientific, but is a decent indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Tim Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Yeah, what they said. PS. Love the Married with Children avatar. I know it is an old show, when did you guys get it in France? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jbjones85 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I monitor the beading. It's not 100% but a good indication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Water behavior on the surface is a good (but not flawless) way to tell. You can use that method as a way to evaluate along with the paints appearance, feel, and just generally how long its been since the last application.

0 IrishCurse Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 My trouble is I seal and Patriot wax the Camaro, then it never comes out of the garage, and when it does it never sees rain, doesn't store in the sun long at all (work day at most), and doesn't see many miles (maybe 2500 per year). Knowing this, will the sealant simply degrade to the point of needing reapplication in a year? Whats a good rule of thumb in this case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Major Lubricity Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 My rule of thumb is if I even start to think it needs a wax job, then it needs a wax job. Confidence is a good indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 IrishCurse Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 With LPS, Patriot, and topped with Polymer Net Shield (excessive overkill, but its therapy as much as anything else), I'm more than confident protection remains, I just wonder the longevity with a vehicle that almost never comes out of the garage. At what point would I strip/reapply due to exceeding protection longevity in these conditions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Major Lubricity Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 If your Camaro isn't exposed to the elements then there is no point to strip a perfectly good wax job just to reapply. Now its different if you just want to do it to satisfy your detail fix rather than necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Black out - Anthony Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Well, for the hydrophobic, two days after, land on the side and once washed with Adam's car wash there is more hydrophobic. and for Al Bundy. i'm a fan lol this is an old tv show for us too but it's too awesome. in France, we love your tv show and hate tv show French. actors are zero, the dialogues are zero, etc ... and I have two t-shirt Bundy 33 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
