All kinds of data out there, been many studies done and of all test they lasted 30 to 90 days max under normal use.
Have you ever seen a new car a kid gets and he waxes it every month, then two years latter he misses a beat and the paint job looks 10 years old, so he has to wax it again.
Paint must have air as not air tight or water proof.
For years I have said only use a carnuba wax on your paint job and I know a lot of people thought what an idiot, then finally 3 or 5 years a go the head of R&D of Basf was speaking at the custom hot rod show and the question was asked: How do we make out paint jobs last? His blunt answer? Don't wax it!
If you think your car paint is waterproof and don't need air, stick it under water for 5-9 months "WITHOUT bringing it up for air", it will start bubbling off the ecoat or epoxy.
