To polish or not to polish
For my spring detail I know I am going to wash, clay, seal, and wax, but I am not sure about polishing.
I have been really careful with the paint and I think it looks pretty good, I know I am not going to machine polish it, but I am wondering if I should hand polish it. If your not really looking to correct the paint do you need to polish?

Not really. I mean hand polishing does barely anything so it's really up to you.

Just know that if you have swirls, you'll be sealing the swirls in. It's up to you but if you have the ability to machine polish, i'd HIGHLY recommend it. It really is pretty easy, if you have the right tools.

If you're happy with how the paint looks then there's no need.

Its strictly up to you but I can promise the paint will look better than it currently does with a good polish, even by hand you can amp up the gloss factor with the proper tools, time and technique.
