Car shopping the last 3 weeks. Couldn't decide between a Fusion and a Focus. Decided to buy one of each.

'14 Fusion Titanium with 21k miles. Completed it last weekend.
Gonna do the '14 Focus with 12k miles next weekend. I'll update the thread

How long does the finish last before you have to re-apply it?

Proper up keep is key.
Wash car with a PH Balanced soap like Chemical Guys Citrus gloss soap
Foam cannon
2 bucket wash
leaf blower dry, touch up some areas with micro fiber
Wipe with V7 Detail spray
12 months easily has been my past experience

that is a 100% outside/daily driver car

NOTE: IMHO If you ever use a leaf blower on leaves...never use it on a car.
