Just wondering...when I get to finally work on my car and use the new flex I got for Christmas, I hope to remove the swirls from my 1999 camry xle. After I do this, how long do you think the finish will last, as in, how long can I go without having to do a full paint correction again? I know most of the factors will be how I wash it and dry it, and avoiding putting swirls back in the paint, etc...but with just considering for a moment that I won't be putting any swirls in the paint by incorrect washing (which I know might be impossible), how long does a freshly machine polished car go without needing paint correction again? Just looking for a general answer from your experiences.

I polish my (black) daily driver once a year. Coming up on my year in March, I've got some very fine swirling which will be easily corrected with 106FA on a LC Black.

:iagree: and it should only need light correction if it was taken care of correctly.

Two or three times a year depending on weekly or dailey care and proper washing technique.
