Default Will Zaino Protect my Paint from the sun??

My car is in the body shop right gettting painted a Custom Hous Of Kolors Candy Oriental Blue. The shop told me that the paint will fade because of the harmful sun rays. Will Zaino help prevent this from happening?? - DarvinM

Yes, Zaino has UV protection.

but you need to protect the other parts too...
vinylex or 303 for the dash, top, and rubber parts.
how about a car cover?
if you dont have to worry about rain, the honda cover works well and is very soft (it is more like a dust cover).

don't get washed by what that shop told you. Zaino when applied in mulitple layers will most certainly NOT allow paint from fading while giving it UV protection.

Whatever you decide to use, especially if it is an acrylic sealant like Zaino, be sure to wait a few months for your paint to cure before you apply a wax. Usually 4-6 six months depending on what your paint manufacturer says.

When your car is painted by the manufacturer it is heat cured at a much higher temperature than that from a paint shop, so you don't have to worry so much about which or when to wax.
