New car. DD lives outside 24/7. I'm in AZ. Dusty, Dry, 110 degrees. UV index HIGH.

Can I win? Fast forward 10 years. Wax 3 times a year, with Turtle Wax (cheap green one). Clay once every 3 years.

Will there be oxidation on the top surfaces, like many older cars? What's your prediction?

And what would be your recommended game plan?

 

what brand car is it? Some paints weather better than others but chances are as long as a coat of wax was kept on it its probably pretty decent

 

Car cover? Possibly..?

 

im stationed in 29 palms CA and I know exactly how you feel, but DO NOT use a car cover, the sand and dirt will get between that and your car and just act as sand paper against your paint.

 

Build a garage?

 

Chevrolet. The color is Sports Tint Coat Red which is a $300 option, and same color as used on the Corvette.

As for car cover, no as mentioned, it'll be like sand paper in real world use for me.

The car just have to live outside, no options.

 

If a car stays outside that long I'd much rather use a nice polymer sealant than a wax. Its not expensive and it works great, I live in NE Texas and although my car stays in a garage the sealant will last me around a month or so and is incredibly easy to put on.

 

uhh i wax my daily about once every two weeks with meguirs gold class, and its garaged.

 

You need to find a really good car cover because I bought one for like 50 bucks on ebay and after like 3 months it dried out really bad and ripped apart.
