Well... the paint on this car is much better than on my last car and I haven't felt the need to use a polish like AG Resin Polish as I haven't really got marks or swirls to remove or cover. So having used it once I decided to just use Gloss Protection to protect the paint from bird droppings and keep that shine going! So far it has worked. I haven't been counting but I think it has had four coats ot polish or gloss protection so far
