Cars are meant to be driven, that\u2019s my opinion, otherwise you better buy a painting or a sculpture.\"\r\n\r\nThis question comes up a lot for some reason, and there's a very logical answer that people don't seem to be able to figure out. \r\n\r\nCars like this are often owned by people who own multiple cars. It's not like anyone is daily-driving a Spyker; it many be one of many cars that are rotated for weekend pleasure drives.

My second question is on your IGL Kenzo treatment - I have gone to their website and read up on it and was wondering why you elected to use it. I have had brass, copper and aluminum highly polished over the years which ended up looking great for a short period of time but then air or moisture got under the coatings, dulled the surface which then required the removal of the parts and their complete stripping - both expensive and time consuming.

The car will remain in place, which is a climate controlled garage in Hudson.\nRegarding your second question:\nI entrusted all the decisions to my detailer. Essentially, I asked him to make the car as close to perfect and coated with whatever he thought was the best out there. He is a certified IGL coating installer, so he has obvious bias to that company and is probably what drove his decision to use Kenzo. I know that he ended up reaching out to a lot of metal people, particular those that restore houseware, to find out the best techniques to use when tackling all of it. He ended up putting in somewhere close to 40-50 hours just correcting the aluminum on the car. All in, he had the car for about 2.5 weeks. \nTouching on my experience with the product since application, I could not be more satisfied. Every photo in the gallery above was taken approx. a year and a half after the correction/coating was performed. In that time, the car has been cleaned only once (after being driven a couple hundred miles), and in the photos all I did was remove the car cover, wipe down a couple spots with a clean microfiber, and pull it out.
