When my PF was new (3 years ago), I had it power-washed and a coat of Rolite (aircraft stuff) applied. It is more slippery that wax (door edge guards kept falling off).
I think it has lasted most of the 3 years. I wash and wax (brushless car wash, plus hose, mitt, etc.) regularly and I figure it pays off. The car looks great. I'm sure that it would have been more dull than it is now (after 60,000 miles) had I not kept it clean and waxed.
This weekend I'm polishing it for the first time (and vacuuming and all that: shiny tired, ArmorAll dash, blah, blah)... car for sale, Pathfinder 2001...
I can see the oxidation effect where I have not yet polished. Nice difference. Somebody will be buying a very shiny Pathfinder! |

That's pretty cool. The ultimate paint-sealant. Better than clear coat! It's... Rolite. ;)
I wish there were places that would do this for you. It seems to make sense, no? I imagine everyone would want an EXTRA "clear coat"... |

I would like to know more about Rolite. Today I saw a truck (Rolite distributor). I took the phone # so I can find out more about it.
It's supposed to reduce wind drag (better gas mileage?), but it sure is slippery!
Does anyone here know whether it's a good idea to use it on a car?
It was not expensive to have it done. About $25 with the power wash. |

| I thought Rolite was a polish for oxidation? There were a couple others, for use on gel coat and metals? |
