Clear coat, new laws???
wanted to see if anyone knows or has experience with the following?
this past weekend, we took our mini for a car wash at the dealership we bought it at. Since our new mini is going to be sitting outside (third car) we felt like we should go ahead and put a good wax on it. We also got new sports stripes installed.
so while we were waiting at the dealership during the wash, our contact at the dealership basically said we didn't have to wax the car for 7+ years. He said that a new law passed in 2007 where paint had to be a higher quality and better clear coat. If anything, he said we could potentially be hurting the paint and taking off the beautiful clear coat.
we went ahead and washed, clayed and waxed the car and stripes.
have you guys heard anything about some law on "better paint" and not needing to wax for 7+ years? he said to not wax the stripes for at least 2+ years, but i told him protection now is better than later.
btw, we bought a 2008 (may 2008 production) mini cooper s, pw/pw. . .
