Buff, as in machine polish? Once a year.

If you need to use a correction polish more than once per year, I would revisit your wash/dry process.

Sorry, I was not specific enough. After I used the Wolfgang Twins and some sealant, I have been putting the liquid Souviern on the cars. I just wipe that on by hand so no power tools for that.

One reason I said I polish on my cars weekly is because I never have time to do an entire car so one weekend I'll do a wash and maybe the drivers side of the car, truck, or beater car. Next weekend, I'll do another area and so on. I've only been working with the PC XP and Wolfgang products for about 3 months so in another month I should have the paint on all the vehicles corrected and then it will just be time to maintain the shine with some wax.

Yeah machine polish

using WG finishing glaze then WF sealant and LSP. Julius, the individual that puts the 3m materials on my cars, buffs his cars several times a year. Although, I'm not sure what products he uses. I don't want to remove too much clear coat.

Polished twice a year(fall, spring), unless the wife bumps into crap. LOL. Then washed every week regardless of how dirty it is. I usually wax both cars every 3-4 weeks.

Are you using finishing glaze twice a year with a light cuting pad? What speed are you using?

I use dodo lime prime or 85Rd on my infiniti. The wife gets 106FA or power finish depending how bad it gets. My car is a garage queen and only gets driven on weekends. My wifes is more of a daily driver parked in lots all the time.
