You can also clay the area and be sure to clay around the edges...the edges tend to get a dirt buildup and cause it to be more apparent that it is there on the car.
Pheox I HIGHLY recommend you talk to your installer and get thei advice. Floyd different materials react differently to polishing. I would not polish every film out there.... and clay barring the edges of the film is a no no. I install VentureShield and there is no way I would allow someone to just start polishing the film. 3M can be treated that way and maybe some of the other brands, but it is best to get the advice of the installer who knows (at least they should) how to maintain the film. If you clay bar the edges of the film you can easily get clay under the edge of the film and it will ruin it. It is best to take an old worn out soft bristol tooth brush and lightly clean the dirt from the edge.... or use a Qtip. Clay bars are designed to lift contaminates from the paint... not relaly made for use on film.
