So How is your paint holding up?

I'm really pleased with mine. My car stays in a garage when I'm not driving it but about 5 days a week it sits in the Texas sun all day. Five years since I got the car this month and 8 since it was new and the clear coat looks terrific with just routine hand wash and Zaino. I see a lot of earlier 90's cars, usually Fords, must have had a bad paint formula that look really bad but I seem to have dodged that bullet.

I bet you would be amazed at the improvement with a semi-annual polishing (abrasive and/or cleaner).

Honestly, I don't see how it could look better. I clay bar it before the Zaino and always get some black stuff but the paint still looks like gray glass. What I was interested in was if anyone is having any problems and if so, how long it takes. I see some cars 2-3 years older than mine with signfigant problems but I don't know what kind of care they have had.

I guarantee that polishing the paint would help remove any oxidation and light surface imperfections. Claybars work really well, but every car needs a good polishing from time to time.

got my 94 and been outside up in Boston for the time I owned it, and my paint for living in the north east is holding up ok, even with the keyed marks and the spider webs on the front and rear bumper, colorcure car wax works great...the sun down here is doing a number on it though..its getting more cracks in the paint on the fenders and front... :( waxing it every weekend to try and keep the damage to a minimum...any help? or ideas??

Waht polish(abrasive) do you recommend i can use by hand?
