If easily removable by QD or car wash, then the protection is doing it's job ie sacrificing instead of paint.
If only removable by polish, terrible lah means etching into the polish/paint??
Seems like only removable by polish/paint cleaner. Washing it alone won't remove it.
I read in this thread:
http://forum.autowor...showtopic=95485"On white cars, you tend to see those black streaks coming out from the door handles and side mirrors after rain. These streaks can tend to get themselves stuck on the paint easily if not washed away. Sometimes, even if the vehicle has some sealant or wax on it, it still manages to stain the paint that can only be removed by polishing."
Seems like exactly what I need(?).
The PermaGlass sealant also something like a 'glass' protection, isn't it?

Nope.

Nope.
Reminds me asking this before
zhongy85, Permaglass is just a sealant. Quite clever marketing putting the glass name in hindsight
Usual LSP actually makes contaminant removal easier with just a carwash or plain water or QD. If needs polishing I hope it's weeks old bake in contaminants.

If car is polished and sealed, washed weekly, and a topper is added, these black line/steaks are not of any issues....

I do try to wash weekly. But sometimes I skip a week due to work. No topper at the moment, only wax. What do you recommend? Looking at Meg QD or it's DG equivalent for my next purchase... which will be some time from now.
Oh money!

A topper should have a little protection and not just purely a QD. If Meg's you would be looking at UQD or UQW, and for DG would be Aquawax. It makes a difference if you top up every week after washing. The car will look like it's freshly waxed again, although the actual protection would not last as long as a real wax layer (which would still remain below the topper).

I am on DG521 QD mixed with DG105 as a topper. So far so good.......

I wash my 3 cars weekly, but sometimes due to rain, do the 2 under the porch as 1 is in the rain. The one not washed will be washed the next week, means in 2 weeks time. I find that the dirt sticks and are harder to wash off. Wash cloth also more dirty, therefore I rather try washing them weekly......
