Never Use Laquer

I would have to read the label and see if it contained wax. The claims that it has a UV protectant are fine, but if it seals your paint it will cause the same problems as Turtle Wax or a like product. Add to this the fact that if you have already painted your car with a base clear to the specified thickness you already have UV protectants in the clear. Peeling paint is often the result of UV damage, but is happening because the company tried to get cheap and not put a decent number of coats on their cars. I am sure you have seen a number of Dodges with this problem. I am passing on what I have been told DuPont and House of Colors. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to answer those I can.

I understand what you are saying about the base/clear systems, but what if it's a single stage urethane paint like some of the older finishes? Wouldnt you need that extra layer of UV protection and some way to "seal" the paint? Just curious since most of the stock VW paints are all standard paint AKA no clear coat. And yeah, I know exactly what you mean about the dodge clear peeling. I have a 98 ram that this has just started with on the roof and hood.

If the car has original paint (laquer) use a wax, it takes the place of clear as a protectant. On urethane single stages I would still use a glaze when the paint starts to look a little dull. Being an activated or catalyzed single stage it will continue to breath through out its life.
