Planning to do some kind of paint protection for my new car, and am very interested in Sierra Glow as it seems low in maintenance. Anyone has got any long term experience with it? Anything more than 8 months would be good. 1 year would be perfect haha. I've read many forums and articles about it, but still can't find long term effects of it.

From what I gather (read many pages of forum threads and articles LOL), they will touch up portions for you if needed but it is not covered under warranty. Anyway, my main concern is, I have not much time to wash my car. I can afford 20 mins to rinse and dry my car every few days though. If Sierra Glow can keep my car in a condition where the majority of it is easy to clean for a year or more, I'll be more than happy to spend that few hundred already. By the way, I rarely get caught in jams and city traffic  Parking can be scary sometimes though. Some people just don't use brains when they open their doors.

QUOTE(rhaizo @ Dec 15 2010, 08:31 AM) If u read the sierra glow website ull fibd that it still need a little maintenance. Have to use type 1 claybar to remove those nasty tar near wheel. Since u have 20mins to spare, why dont u get ONR (optimum no rinse) for quick wash. However if u are still going for sierra glow pls share us the results. Yes, they recommend washing using the 2 bucket method, especially within 24hours if there's stuff like bird droppings, and need to visit once a year for inspection, which is not too bad (http://sierraglow.com/after.htm). Nothing about claying, unless you mean I will still need to do that myself, which I guess I probably will not. ONR looks interesting, I'll take that into consideration. Where can I purchase bottles of ONR? Still leaning towards glowing the car though, as the hydrophobic layer is supposed to last about 1 year, and shine for 5 years >.< I'll wager it's an exageration, so I'm still looking for long term user reviews.

Ah, I've been reading' KC's blog. Very interesting, wiosh I had the time, but I guess I'm just not a pure auto enthusiast haha.
@azmirkhalid If that's true, that's really awesome. Anyway, if the whole car costs about 500-600, then changing and redoing bumper should cost less, which is manageable IMO.
