Care and feeding of a urethane aerowing
So, I was at the wreckers (parts recycler to be more politically correct) to find parts for my GTA (suffered a major engine fire).
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I looked over at this '87 Trans Am, felt the aerowing and did the various exclamatories as there were no splits, etc - FACTORY ORIGINAL URETHANE!!!!!!! (GM Canada price - $2300, if it was available).
So, the question is, what level SPF sunscreen do I use, etc to preserve it?
Seriously, this car is going through a total gound-up and so, how do I maintain what I've got.
Thanks,

The only three numbers you need to know:

This stuff is the "sunscreen" you would probably want to protect the urethane and keep it from being damaged from exposure. It's pretty tough stuff. Also works great on underhood rubber to keep it looking new without that super shiny look that the cheap silicone based things give you.
On top of that, the best thing I would recommend is keeping it out of the weather and sun as much as possible. If it's parked outside, get yourself a good quality outdoor car cover from Covercraft or Coverking.
