Typically, with daily drivers the norm is to clay them twice a year and apply a quality sealant twice a year also.
You should only polish to remove swirls and other light surface blemishes or when you want a real clean surface for a coating or sealant.
Tell me about it
I have a Honda and love and hate washing it
Seems like whatever is done there are a couple more swirls. I almost have to use the carpro wash mitt and blow dry it because the mf wash mitt and guzzler aren't soft enough
Give these people your business cards, they are either going to repaint or buy a new car and probably sometime soon. They most likely wont want this to happen to their new ride so sell them on being preventative and the $$$ it saves in the long run.
A packer's player's wife couldn't make it up a hill one winter and said to my mom, "I told my husband I need a new car".
My mother replied "Us poor people just buy new tires"
I wouldn't think claying or polishing would be in order for a brand new car, but get a good look at it in the sun and do the baggie test.
Also, if you're going to get crystal sal you might as well get dp paint coating
I wasn't implying it was, just that I have seen people market a wash and wax soap as an actual hand wash and then a wax or "a waxy layer of protection" etc...
Or market them seperately like wash n wax or a wash and spray wax and give the details and benefits of both with the wash n wax being a bit less costly and the wash and spray wax costing more but getting more
To me marketing a wash and wax product as uv protection in any manner is sort of misleading. The customer may think they are getting a good wax when they are getting wax for the next few days or the next rain.
I would use a good cheap spray wax afterwards for better protection and it won't...
