It does not look so good up close Chris, but I have clay barred it and polished it and cared for it as much as possible.

The difference here is we never get the real burning sunshine that you do in SoCal, so there is less blistering and oxidation going on.

The two silvers are very good on paintwork, but the black roofs have some sun damage when you look close. They are still quite OK and acceptable though.

I'm convinced it's the quality and the UV opacity and the number of coats of top-coat [clearcoat] that keeps a car looking young.
