I'm also a believer in waxing the paint afterwards. Dunno how much it really helps, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

What I meant is people do it on purpose to prevent theft. Like my cusin was mad at his dad because he sprayed her new bike in random order to prevent theft. Of course I am talking about cheap ones. We never leave our bike alone outside cus it's not as safe.
