Apply the polish first. A polish removes the top layer of your paint to give you a smooth surface. It does not leave a protective barrier.

Wax leaves behind a protective barrier. If you polish after you wax, then you will take the wax off.

Intel,

I have been flipping through several of your posts...

Quite the job on your sis's car...

Where do you pick up most of your products? I am familiar with a few, but there were a few I was unfamiliar with.

Do you have any pics of your truck in the owners gallery?

Thanks
Dan

Most of my products I get online or through local distributors. I just spend $484 dollars at one :O and tomorrow I'm going to my ProWax dist for some other stuff. If I can keep myself from buying a lot of stuff I should be able to get out without a lot.

I've got a few pics but need to take some better ones.
