Great tips. I still find it odd that paint supposedly gets better and better, but we need to be more and more careful washing and caring for it.

Paint does not get “better and better.” Why do we assume that thru the passage of time all things improve and technology advances? Enviromental issues have set back paint technology as it has numberous others. Eventually, thru innovation it may catch up to where it once was, but how could it ever catch up to where it could be?
