Fact: Any type of paint correction (polishing/rubbing compound) is taking clear coat off your car.


Solution: Wash and wax properly, regularly. Paint correction is to be done sparingly and infrequently (clay followed by polish). Use paint sealant to keep results of paint correction longer than just waxing. Most paint sealants allow you to put wax on top of it.
Clay bar does not scratch your clear coat. Sealant is pure synthetic wax. It is a wax replacement. Some claim it doesn't provide as deep a glow as carnauba but it lasts much longer.
Otherwise what this guy said.
