How often should I polish

I seem to be using SSR1 about 5x per year, with the occasional SSR2 prior to it. My vehicle is a 2007... should I tone it down a little so I don`t abrade my clearcoat to nothing?

if you keep your car for 20 more years and continue the same procedure, you will probably make it through 1/2 of the first coat of clear

.... don`t worry about it, it will take a lot stronger products to take away your clearcoat

While I agree with Steve you will do little harm I will point out that if you find it necessary to polish 5 times a year then you need to change your method of washing.

I go a year or more and still don`t have enough marring to justify polishing but their was a time when I could not do that.

Once I get my paint in perfect condition I try to keep it like that instead of constant paint correction.

Sounds great and a good confidence boost.

I`m usually very careful, but what can I say I like to polish/wax my truck.

As far as washing I usually use a touch-less coin op wash, followed by S&W. I RARELY ever use a bucket method.

Thats fine i was just pointing out that if you needed to polish that often you needed to examine you cleaning but if you are doing it just to have something to do I would like to have you for a neighbor I could find plenty of things around here for you to do.
