I thought the whole reason anyone got paint protection was that it doesn’t require any further coating maintenance? On my old 2006 Prado, water still beads and paint still shines with the Ming protection I had applied back then. No maintenance apart from washing, removing tar, bird droppings and tree sap.

Annual top ups are recommended. Read your warranty.

How much are annual top ups?

Thanks

I've been really happy with the Bowdens Carnauba Body wax on my Arteon. Easy to apply and not too much elbow grease to wipe off.
For added depth and shine the Fully Slick is very nice. Needs a little extra buffing to get rid of the smears but love how the car looks afterwards.
