So I discovered a few days ago that the "super white" paint color on my Toyota 4Runner is actually a single stage paint with a clear mixed in. The result of this means it's really susceptible to damage. I can attest to that because I've clayed the vehicle a couple times and I can already see extensive swirling, and the vehicle isn't even a year old yet.
I also have a few rock chips and scuffs that go right down to bare plastic or paint, resulting in minor rust.
After talking to Dan Wolf, I've decided to coat the vehicle. Originally I was against coatings because I felt it took away from my detailing experience, but it appears as if I may not have a choice.
So after I touch up my paint damage, I'll be installing a full trim and paint ceramic.
Any thoughts, experiences, or tips on coatings are extremely welcome as I'm a little nervous about the installation.
