Good to know, especially because you're in the same climate as I am. Is your car outside 24x7 (mine is)?

From what I've read, it does seem the 2k clear is the best way. So you buy a spray can of that for $25, use 10% of it, and the rest is trash, right? I know that still may be the most efficient and best solution, but I may need to get all my cars lined up on the same day to make it less wasteful. LOL.

Do you remember the brand you used?

This one: https://www.amazon.com/U-S-Chemical-...s%2C227&sr=8-6

Yes, unfortunately, you waste most of the can since it's a 2 part product with a 48 hour pot life, you can't hang on to it and use it later.

My truck is outside 24/7 and always has been.
