a friend did his few years back and still looks good.

Sorry, I have to disagree with you. The original paint is always far more better than repaint and I
will opt original as much as possible, therefore I will try all ways to protect it. That's my 2 cts worth.

Yes, original paint from the factory is the best. A factory equivalent paintjob is actually expensive but then over here, corners were cut to be able to offer the 'cheap' price.

Have anyone tried this as cheaper DIY solution??

This is no substitute. Any paint protection product, even the likes of C-Quartz and Gtechniq cannot protect against stone chips & scratches.

Can those sealant protect our paint from swirls and lines should our car are hand washed by condo carwash staff?

AS, nope to your questions.... those sealant or coating is acting as sacrificial coating....

Thank you Gamenoob! You are 100% perfect! There is no Coating or Sealant that can do the work of a Protection Film! Those Sealant or Coating is acting as sacrificial coating.

Means we have to reapply every month?

Personally i apply Sealant every two days depending on when am free, but i dont apply sealant to protect my Car against swirls and lines(But it helps reduce it) because i already have the Paint Protection Film on my Car so if those condo carwash staff or Indian Car wash are privileged to wash my car (WHICH I WILL NEVER GIVE MY CAR TO THEM) it wont affect my paint as my car is already covered with 3M VentureShield Paint Protection Film.

Has anyone tried Tribos? It's the one used on all Mazda cars in Malaysia (as advertised).
