if i may, the paint protect does not prevent water marks. what prevents water marks is preventing water from drying on your paint. another reason why you probably didn't have water marks way back then 'coz it wasn't the rainy season yet and you didn't have to drive thru rain and having to leave those droplets dry on the paint.

B2Bomber: thanks for the comments. I go your point. So it really means that the paint protect does not prevent from getting my car a water mark. However, it contradicts from what i read before.

Anyway, it was rainy season since June or July and i have been doing the my detailing process before and it was water mark free. I have left my car with water rains on it for several times. Besides, you can't always keep your car dry, do you? Like if you parked your car in the office garage after a rainy day, i dont have time to dry it off. Or just even after you parked your car in your garage and your too tired, right?

If that is the case, i should have not been too confident with the paint protect and just stick with the process that i have been doing. I was in a assumption that the paint protect can deal with those water marks with no problem, but i was wrong.

Out of curiosity, what changed in your paint care routine after you availed of their system. Say, frequency of washing, etc.

I guess, to a certaint extent, it could prevent, by virtue of the surface being so slick water won't collect. But paint protect is paint protect. What it could do is protect your paint from getting etched by the dried water (or bird poop) to a certain extent (by means of the sacrificial layer -- the LSP). And to a certain extent means that you have to do your part too. It doesn't mean that because you have paint protect, you don't need to do anything any more. For example, you need not really wash it everytime you arrive at home or park in the office garage, a simple sheeting method would do every time you arrive at home from work too. Not cleaning the car after several days of being rained on and letting the water spots bake out is not going to help the paint protect system too.

In actuality, if you like you could even augment your "paint protect sealant" by... doing the same routine you've been doing before, but do not use any wax removers or anything that'd strip the LSP that was applied. wash, clay, (booster) wax would help.

Don't get me wrong, their system works for what it is meant to do... protect.

I had my car paint protected at BB yesterday. The car is shiny and has a slippery coat to it. They recommended that I go visit every three months. Question in, how do I maintain it in between the months? Car wash lang, or car wash and bi-weekly application of wax? How about using what the other detailers are using, nanosliq, collinite, etc.? Thanks.
