Why the honest answer is 'it depends'
Coating longevity is a function of the specific product used, how thoroughly the paint was prepared, the cure conditions, where the vehicle lives, and how it is washed. Change any of those and the outcome changes.
What shortens coating life
- Harsh automatic car washes with stiff brushes
- Aggressive or high-pH cleaning products
- Contaminants left to sit — bird droppings, bug residue, sprinkler minerals
- Constant outdoor exposure with no maintenance washing
What extends it
Gentle, regular hand washing, prompt removal of contaminants, and periodic inspection. A coated vehicle that is washed properly every couple of weeks will outperform an identical one that is neglected, every time.
