Are levels of UV degradation higher with more UVA or UVB?

Does car polish offer uva/uvb protection for the automobile?

You can purchase car polishes and waxes that claim to add UVA and UVB protection in addition to protection from other contaminants to your automobile. These products include Simoniz 17106 and Turtle Wax T-27R F21 Liquid Car Polish. It should be noted that there are those who believe that that these product claims are false and that there are no products that offer significant UVA/UVB protection. Some car polishes offer uva/uvb protection for the automobile but not all. The sun can be very damaging to the paint on your car so a good polish or wax is important.
