I was simply saying, if a good coating is added to the paint, when the paint has cured, the need for any sort of maintenance on the paint would be much less.
I have, however, enjoyed waxing my car "often" in the past as it yields good results and adds good repellency to the surface. That, too, is not needed with the CQuartz coating that has been applied to my Z.
So, my intentions above were to say the investment of a good coating is worth it in the long run, as the need for any sort of maintenance on the paint is much slimmer.

And there is where I strongly disagree.
That's the same mentality of people who order the triple-quarter cheeseburger and chili cheese fries, and then try to counter it with a diet soda. As if the diet soda will make up for that 500,000 calorie meal that they are about to inhale. If a person doesn't know how to care for their paint, all the coatings on earth are NOT going to solve their paint issues. This is the myth surrounding coatings. As if these coatings are some sort of secret weapon to bad paint maintenance practices.
They are NOT. You still have to properly care for your paint or in time, it will look like crap. I find it funny that all I do is properly wash my car and protect it with wax and I don't experience a fraction of the issues that I read about on various forums. Coatings can be damaged just like clear coat and paint. They are not the end all to paint damage if the owner of the car practices a bad paint maintenance regimen.
If you give a man with bad money management skills a million dollars, you are not going to solve his debt issues. He will just create more debt. However, if you teach a man with bad money management skills how to properly manage money, he will have the ability to make his own millions. Education is the secret to keeping one's paint looking flawless. The only other answer is to park the car in a bubble and never driving it.
