Lastly, so it sounds like you do at least a fine cut polish before ever doing a machine sealant every time? Correct?
I have a suntek clear film on the hood of the new car from day one. Per recommendations on the forum thats why I am sticking to sealants so I can use one type of product to seal the whole car as opposed to wax part of it and seal part of it. I am wondering if I should keep the machine away from the clear bra however and apply this all by hand. Do all these techniques apply to the clear film (fine cut polish, sealant, etc)? I plan to do an opticoat on it soon as well, same question?
I think Im close to out of questions for now I have read all the great articles you posted above. Good thing I am working from home today
I hope didn't exhaust my welcome. If I could get confirmation on my above clarification to make sure I understand, hoping I have it down now.
Thank u again so much by the way. All my auto geek supplies has started trickling in. I'm super excited.

No one ever exhaust their welcome here on AGO.
I'm no longer online as much as I used to be, mostly just a few hours in the morning.
Too many other offline projects now days.... so an hour or two in the morning and then I log off for the day and also weekends.

Correct. And keep in mind this is must "my opinion".
The deal is, if you're going to go through all the time and trouble to machine or even hand apply "something" then you might as well apply the product that you'll get the most benefit from and a HIGH QUALITY fine cut polish will do everything a paint cleaner will do PLUS remove any fine or shallow swirls and scratches, which a paint cleaner won't do.
Make sense?

In the online detailing world I coin a lot of phrases, terms, etc. For example everyone uses the term LSP and I'm the guy that created that term.
Everyone uses the term Test Spot and I created that practice and the term at least in the online world.
Everyone uses the term RIDS and yep... that's mine.
Here's another one I coined and made popular in the online detailing world and it answers your question above....
Synergistic Chemical Compatibility
And what this means is if you're going to use Wolfgang Uber Compound then use Wolfgang Finishing Glaze.
If you're going to use Wolfgang Finishing Glaze then use a Wolfgang LSP or Last Step Product.
Then use Wolfgang maintenance products like spray detailers and spray sealants because there's a synergistic chemical compatibility between products that come from the same manufacturer.
At least more a a synergistic chemical compatibility than using multiple multiple brands which there's the least likely to be any type of synergy.
This is a BIG PICTURE point of view so for whatever that' worth.

IN a perfect world that is the best approach.

IF the CLEAR BRA is brand new and has zero swirls and scratches I work on it by hand with a clean, soft foam applicator pad and avoid machine buffing it.
I think there are a lot of really safe products that won't scratch the soft, mailable plastic film used for clear bras but why take a chance if the clear bra is currently in great condition.

After applying Opti-Coat you should wash your car or "touch your car's paint" very carefully so you won't need to machine polish the "coating".

You're definitely on the right track.
And do keep in mind, if you don't see my name as "logged in" on the right side of the forum homepage that means I'm not logged in or answering questions. I try to catch up with forum posts directed specifically towards me in the morning and then log off.
