dunno if there are products out there, but r there treatments that can make our paint stronger, more resistant to chips, fading, etc.?? my Meguiar's Gold Class paste brings out a deep red on my baby to the extent that i can see the tiny black spotted dots if i look close enough, but does there exist anything that can make the paint a better quality??

Not sure about anything that will make it "stronger", but Zaino will definitely make it brighter. Take a look at my pics below.

Accept mediocrity and that's all you'll ever get!

 

The Zaino will help with bug hits and hits from tiny bits of debris at speed.

Yup, a repaint. Actually, other than the clear or black bras I think a lot of wax is your only defense. Wish we had BMW quality paint.

I'd be happy with Kia quality paint.

Believe it or not, Kia uses the Mercedes paint "method".

 

lemme tell ya something, when i look at the Steel Blue metallic finish really close on a 3-series convertible, it looks like i can go swimming in it. it looks like the finish is 5 feet deep. mercedes too. i look at my San Marino Red finish, and i think about jumping on a puddle my Meguiar's Gold Class does some justice, but who's kiddin whom here??
