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.

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.

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??
