    Has anyone ever waxed the car (nice and thick) and left the wax on without rubbing it off?
    Just wondering if this would work. Might be hard to get it off after its been on all day, and would want to make sure there was NO dirt on it when rubbing it off.

      Here's the thing. The Prado is a 4x4, designed to go bush. You take it to the bush and sure it gets scratches. If it bothers you, just give it a bit of polish every year or so.

      The only time to fix it properly is before you sell or trade it. Get it buffed and polished (and full detail) and you're good to go.

      This is not a show car. In fact, I prefer to see scratches on a 4x4. It shows that the vehicle is being used for what it was made for.

        As I am the proud owner of a few bush pin stripes, I could not agree more with comment above by photoprado. I would much rather have bush pin striping than dings from the inconsiderate, lazy and stupid people (or you can use a more descriptive word here) in car parks.

              A first world problem ... seriously ... by the way some people put a vinyl cover over their leather briefcase and then a plastic cover over it to protect the vinyl cover? Up to you how much time you want to spend doing something to the car rather than out and about?

                What would you rather buy a 2nd hand car with no paint left? or the one with hardly a scratch on it? Id like to keep mine clean so i can resell it after 4 years.
                Just because we want to protect our cars dosn't mean you can ruin this thread with your negative comments

                  Apologies for the tone. Everybody is free to spend their spare time as they like.

                    Hi there,

                    If you are going to cover your Vehicle with anything, make sure no moisture gets between the covering & the paint.

                    On a hot day the moisture can turn to steam & bleach the paint & dark coloured material increases the risk.

                      Hi all
                      I have returned from a 4 day trip in the Vic High country, travelled speeds up to 110KM, river crossing and plenty of deep mud tracks. Thanks to Pradojim for the magnet idea. The magnets took the full force of scratches. Some lessons learnt.
                      The body panels must be clean before you apply the magnets. Because the magnet cannot follow some panels and stay flat I used masking tape to hold these edges down. Pressure clean before removing magnet sheet from car body panels. Ensure magnet sheets are clean both sides before storing. Store magnet sheets flat. Masking tape the edges to stop water getting into the magents
                      Thanks again to pradjim
                      Regards SAFTGT
