Would be a great one step product for vinyl graphics that include a lot of exposed body paint.

No, a UV stabilizer is an ingredient in certain protectants that prevents the penetration of UV rays.

Yeah, maybe but I've never used it. Someone told me that it is not possible to make a QD with UV inhibitors.

Hydro is not a QD. some folks use it as a QD but it's a polymer spray type wax. so that's why im recommending it.

FWIW
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_degradation

"UV Stabilizers in plastics usually act by absorbing the UV radiation preferentially, and dissipating the energy as low level heat. The chemicals used are similar to those used in sunscreen cosmetic products, which protect skin from UV attack."
