I understand a polishing product is designed to remove surface contaminents, swirls, oxidized paint, etc. So, if I have a new car which has never been washed or waxed except for the inital dealer prep for delivery, do I need to do the polishing step?
Seems to me, as a beginner at this stuff, getting the car completely clean with a car shampoo product and then going straight to the wax or sealant should work.
For example, I`m considering buying the $299 Blackfire Perfect Shine Kit from Classic Motoring Accessories. It looks pretty complete from someone just starting out. (Is that a good price?)
But it seems like I could skip using the Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish, since there shouldn`t be any swirls or oxidation to get rid of on my car. The paint should be near factory perfect. So, to my way of thinking, I`d clean it with Blackfire Gloss Shampoo & Conditioner and then apply the Blackfire All Finish Paint Protection, and finish with a quick wipe of the Deep Gloss Spray.
Am I right or wrong?
One more question: can I layer the BF All Finish Paint Protection to get more protection, like folks talk about doing with carnauba-based waxes?
As much as a super-glossy wax job might look great, I`m far more interested in protecting my paint with a durable, long-lasting finish. I won`t have time to wax every 4-6 weeks, and I will be tracking my car, so it`ll be squashing a lot of bugs at high speed, etc. Protection is my #1 priority.
Thanks!
