jonboy Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 A slightly newbie here but I have had a forester for eleven years...never been anything to ask about really .... but...a load of cars here in Sunny Portugal suffer from a scabby deterioration of the clear 'varnish' on top of the base car colour, all makes, Bmws, opels renaults... (interestingly no mercs and there' s more mercs per capita than Germany Taxis in Lisbon often have 6-700 thou kms and thats already round the clock once....!). the old forester, always parked outside in sometimes full-on sun, 40ºC , 55-60º inside, .... had just started to get this peely effect ,, as its the clear coat that is affected , the average paintshop simply cuts right back and resprays, and clearcoats again... Anybody got any recommendations for a car polish that has to work like factor 50 sunblock.? My new forester, actually six months older and with half the Kms at 175000, and most importantly LPG, has been a one-owner always in the garage and is pretty well perfect, but is just starting to get the peely scabby on its forehead above the windscreen after a couple of months in low - mid thrties ºC and it ain't summer yet...

Jay762 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Is it teh heat that does it or the UV rays? A lot of the modern detailing coatings have a UV protection in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
