What’s a safe yearly Polish product to use on a daily driver. Considering the integrity of the clear coat

[2black1s]

Yearly? Anything reputable!

This paranoia over removing clear coat is way overblown in my opinion.

I would use whatever you like using the most. I really enjoy perfect finish personally. It was my 2nd pure polish actually IE no protection. The other was chemical guys that i just threw out, I can't remember the name now. lol

For the rupes stuff i would probably stick with DA fine for a yearly 1 step polish. It's a decent polish. I might give it another try this season - i usually play around with different polishes just for fun but perfect finish works great on my car - it can even remove some nasty defects with an aggressive pad with a few cars i've worked on. i haven't used pure but i've been told it's a very light polish. So it might be best suited for a 2 step process...

I do agree with 2black1s. Normal clearcoat can be polished many times. I had a junk panel a few years back and i polished that thing out a couple hundred times after purposely scratching the paint. No issues. I was using the rotary/DA's, high speeds and pressure, compounds, wool and microfiber... the whole 9 yards.

Meg's 205 annually if you use conventional waxes or sealants

carpro essence gloss enhancer if you follow with any type of ceramic, spray or coat

Using what you got, even try the Rupes Fine or Perfect Finish with the white pad to see how it works??

use what you have if it fits, no need to keep spending more money when it's not needed...

If you want to spend money from what i read and even experienced ceramic primers are some of the best finishing machine polishing products on the market. A lot of pros claim they reduce the longevity of the LSP however. But for a sake of a drop of 10-%15 it's a non-issue for me.

Buy a 250ml bottle of essence lol

Experimenting with different detail products is an unfortunate addition of mine
