This is true if you are very meticulous in waxing your car,etc.Most People that I have met don't have time to put on 5 or 6 coats of Zaino religiously. There are also lots of people not fortunate enough to have their car garaged.

and you can still "polish" it and restore the paint. The paint would have to be extremely damaged, which at that point makes no sense to remove the vinyl and not repaint anyway.
