So far I haven't noticed any effects from the sun. Here in the Northwest we have a lot of big trees, and therefore a lot of tree sap and bird poo winds up on your car. BMW paint seems more resistant to staining due to sap and bird poo than my wife's VW (although it could be because I always wash off bird poo and sap immediately and my wife is more laissez-faire about it ).
Do u have supa gard ie the film put on body paint to protect iit?
