    If you're going to coat the car then make sure you have the paint in the condition that you want it to be before coating. IMO if wont hurt to give it a polish before coating if you're unsure of the condition of the paint. Better to be safe than sorry.
    Polish the car or the film? Being a first time DA user I'm hoping to steer clear of the film and it's only 2 Months old.

    Tape off the edges of the film and Polish out the car.

    Can you polish the film if scratched?
