Wipe-ons are only temporary. The only way is a hard laquer coating with UV inhibitors.

That's a much more sensible price (£8.49), but what still puzzles me is that I would expect all vehicles lacquers would need to be UV proof anyway?


They need to prevent the UV getting through to fade the paint they are protecting, remain perfectly clear, present a hard surface and not yellow..
