I have a 20 year old car and for the last 10 years, the Florida sun has beat the heck out of it sitting in the driveway, so much so that the paint has deteriorated.
I don't have any shade available, I don't want to use a cover.

Soon enough, I'll be moving that car and replacing it with my newer 10 year old car when I buy a new one. The 10 year old car is in great shape and I'll like to do better preserving the finish. A DIY ceramic auto finish seems reasonable. So, what do you thing?

1) Brands used , with pro and con.
2) Results, short term and long term?

Thanks, ~peace~
Try this stuff

Amazon.com

I just got my second gallon. A little goes a long way. Provides a super slick finish and keeps the paint looking great. I usually have a detailer give the truck a good wash and wax then apply two coats of this stuff. Makes bug splatters easier to clean off too. Brake dust cleans off chrome wheels with ease.
We even use it on our shower glass enclosure and mirrors making them easier to clean streak free.
A professional ceramic coating is very expensive if done properly. My detailer actually advised against it for a daily driver vehicle.
Good luck.
