Thank you Ride92 for a very detailed view in your research on products, appreciate. I can agree and identify with almost everything said with the only exception that I have not yet tried Armourall......been also looking into a coating on the paint and plastics, but a bit pricey here in SA, R10,000.00 or $750.00 for the whole CX-5, inside & outside......sticking with good old waxing and washing regime in the meantime though.
That $750 price probably included the polishing steps needed before apply a coating. It's not in common to see prices around a $1000 for a coating because the car needs to be polished to scratch free perfection before hand and that takes time.
