Why would it vent solvent when water based paint is used?

A solvent is a substance that dissolves another substance, therefore water is a solvent.

not to mention not all manufacturers use a complete water based paint system.

£399 to wax the car.
Sounds like a right deal .....

The car will be fine without it, buy some car wax and wax it every six months and it will stay just as shiny as the £399 option.

As far as I know its an acrylic enamel polish, or industrial floor tile polish to others thats buffed to a shine.

the same for VW and BMW who still use a clearcoat that's a conventional one because its full of hardner and notoriously HARD well known in the detailing world as being tough and durable water based clear is known to be soft.

Yes, but vehicle factories did not use acrylic based they used a eurethane based after cellulose was seen as a big Ozone eating monster.

If it provides such an improvement to the car, why did they not apply it on the forecourt.
The standard finish was good enough for people looking to inspect the cars.

So they're not an example then. You stated 'use'. Honda 'used' so it wouldn't apply to a new car.


I don't see any documentary evidence on a quick Google search of VW and BMW using conventional clear. Happy to stand corrected if you can show me something official from them.
