The process also uses an activator that helps break down and softens the original UV coating.
Since my car spends it's off time in the garage with a cover, I may see a better long term result with the UV coating that came with it. This UV coating is potent stuff. I got a bit on my fingers and it started to harden and was tough to get off. The $18 kit online is pretty comprehensive and has really everything you need. I suspect that's why auto parts stores don't stock it.
