Default protecting paint job

Im looking in to getting a cut and polish done to bring back my cars dull paint, but i dont have a garage to protect and preserve it when i get it done. My car is always parked in the driveway, Will i be wasting my time and money getting the cut and polish if its just gonna be in the weather?. ive been told car covers are trouble, so what would be my best option?

Perox,

Definitely not a waste IMO.

Once you have it polished apply a sealant or wax to provide protection (a sealant is probably a better option if parked outside). You would need to re-apply the sealant every 3 -6 months (depending on the sealant used).

Forum sponsor Waxit are great to deal with and would provide excellent expert advice.
