Sorry sir, you are wrong.
I have worked my whole life in the industry, been trained by the paint manufacturers, and worked with product developers.
We offer a lifetime guarantee on our finishes, which is backed by the manufacturers of the paint. They, (the paint manufacturers), tell us the finishes do not require any wax, and they, (the paint manufacturers), tell us, to tell the customers, that waxing them is unnecessary.
If you would like, I will tell them first thing Monday, they need to talk to you, so you can straighten them out. :thumbsup:
Cars were originally waxed for 2 reasons.
1. To seal the finish against moisture.
Finishes used to be very porous, they benefited from having wax applied because it sealed the surface to help protect the base material. This problem has been eliminated by producing better undercoats, (that means primers, and sealers), and top coats, which do not allow moisture penetration.
2. To remove oxidation.
Finishes used to oxidize rapidly. Waxes years ago, generally had significant amounts of polishing compound in them to remove the oxidation. Modern urethane finishes don't break down quickly, like the old time finishes. On top of that, almost all vehicles are coated with uv protected clear coats. This clear coat effectively eliminates oxidation.
Since both reasons have been eliminated, there is no reason to wax your car.
As far as cars you may have owned, or seen, with defective paint, I repair them all the time, those problems cannot be attributed to the lack of a coat of wax, no matter how badly you want to believe that.
However, I understand that some do not realize it's 2010, and will still insist on waxing their cars. Just like some insist on changing their oil at 3,000 miles, writing checks, and using snail mail.
Old traditions die hard.
