Desert sun and your clear coat

Arizona UV is relentless. Clear coat is the thin, transparent layer that takes the hit first — once it oxidizes, paint turns chalky and no wash will bring it back.

Park nose-away from the afternoon sun when you can. A covered spot buys years. Wash early in the morning, never on hot panels, where water spots etch in seconds.

A glass coating adds a sacrificial, slick layer that sheds dust and UV. On our Signature formula it comes standard; on Maintain or Restore it's a $40 extra.
