Ceramic spray-ons do only last a few months, but that's better than days or a week or two for a typical carnauba paste or synthetic wax.

You sound like the perfect candidate for an EV. No, really. You can charge for pennies at home, don't need a charger on base, and there's virtually no maintenance on an EV for the ~400 miles per week...

Where does the 2.7L 4-cylinder Silverado fit into GM's CAFE equation? It doesn't get great fuel economy, but it must win them points with the EPA in some category?
