yeah its probably a bit much for a garaged car. However in FL, I would still use a more aggresive sealant than what I even use up here in four season north. Otherwise you have to detail the car more often to keep up the barrier and that's not good for the paint either.

I'm always amazed at how relatively new cars have totally wrecked paint in central Florida. I think its the combination of constant wet conditions coupled with high heat. You need a really strong sealant there. Or a heavy synthetic wax like Finish Kare 1000P high temp.

I haven't had a problem, but mine usually parked out of the sun under a canopy.
