Hi guys I'm new to the world of detailing but have learned a lot reading through this thread. Hope you detailing gurus can help me out with a few questions. TIA

1. Our garage is not fully covered so at times my car is exposed to the elements so I opted to buy an ELEVO waterproof car cover. Any comments about this?

2. I had my bnew car paint protected courtesy of BIG BERTS but coz I don't always have the time to do a quick wash in the morning after nightly rains, my car exhibited a couple of water marks in just 2 weeks. I tried having it washed and waxed but there was still a few marks left. What do you guys suggest?

3. I went to VIVID and they offered me the SOFT99 Dark & Black Wax with waterproofing qualities which minimizes water marks. They applied a small amount to a portion of my car and after wiping it off, they sprayed water over it and to my amazement the water beads slid right off the car while the other parts of the car still had water on it. They said the wax was silicone-based so I sort of hesitated coz the chemical might be bad for the paint. Can you guys clarify?

4. For the glass protection they offered the SOFT99 Glaco Roll-on water repellent which also moves water away from the surrounding glass of the car. They even claim that you wouldn't even need to use your wipers when its raining! What do you guys think?
