Default Oxidized Paint

So I got 135k on my 2000 civic LX 4dr. Stock Daily Driver.

The black paint is starting to oxidize on the roof. Its my daily driver and it is ALWAYS parked out in the street under the Sun.

Waxing is a pain in the ass and I wash only about every 2-3 months. I've been using Nufinish (yea i know, go ahead and flame me.) Its got the crapiest shine but does keep pollutants off and the water still beads after 5 washes or so. Obviously its not helping with oxidation.

Is oxidation inevitable? Im sure wax will slow it down, but who wants to do that? I'm an old fart. The days of spending 6 hours waxing before heading out are long gone.

Im looking for a ZERO maintenance solution here.
