Biggest issue this time of year round here is mud coming off the fields with tractors etc.

Mud flaps lad, mud flaps

Dads V50 doesnt have them, the lower sections get Manky far faster than mine With mud flaps


for me its the finished car, All done,, "oh THANK YOU " as some bird flys past and uses the car as target practice,,

C1 ? every year?,, or do you mean C2V3 ,, C1 will last a Lot longer than 12months when applied properly, and Usually needs a Machine polish to remove it Before the 2-3 year mark,,
hand polishing doesnt touch it,,

C2V3 will do 6months with ease,, and as long as the paintworks in Good condition no need to put anything "under it" ,, as whatever it is Under it defines the length of time the c2v3 will last,

mine gets wax in the summer,, a Full clean/decon/etc/etc then c2v3 on its own for the winter,, goes on about october(ish) , lasts till march (ish)
*regular use of snowfoam and contact washes through out the winter as needed.
